Completing the Installation

1. Use a sealant appropriate for contact with the building materials present and
for the temperature requirements of the installation to prevent air leakage from
unconditioned spaces is recommended. If gaps between unit housing and ceiling
are great, additional material (backing rod, ceiling material) may be required.
NOTE: This fan is rated for direct insulation contact (Type IC) and it is recommended
that this fan be completely covered by insulation in order to reduce heat loss or gain
to unconditioned space.

the blower by reversing the directions in Section 5 (Wiring), Step 1b.
