back cover

back cover

The Panasonic ceiling mount ventilating fans uses a sirocco fan driven by a capacitor motor. The motor isdesigned to have an extended service life with reduced energy consumption. It also incorporates athermal cut-off for safety. The grille covering the main body is a spring-loaded, quick-release type. Adamper for preventing counterflow is provided. The blower uses a high-capacity sirocco fan developed to reduce the noise level.The heater for this unit is a 1400 W sheathed heater. A thermostat and thermal cut-off switch have been added for safety in case of an abnormal temperature rise in the heater.The lighting unit is an energy-saving, lighting device which uses two 18 W fluorescent lamps and produces almost the same illumination as a standard 100 W incandescent lamp (FV-11VHL2).

Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicablecodes and standards, including fire-rated construction. Neither unauthorized modification, repair nordisassembly is allowed.

Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuelbuming equipment to prevent backdrafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer's guideline andsafety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and theAmerican Society for Heating Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local codeauthorities.

When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

Solid state controls may cause harmonic distortion which can cause motor humming noise. To reduce therisk of fire or electric shock, do not use this unit with any solid-state control device.

Never place a switch where it can be reached from a tub or shower.

Not to be installed in a ceiling thermally insulated to a value greater than R40. (This is required forinstallation in Canada only.)

Use only on 20 ampere branch circuit.
