6. Installation work and electrical wiring should be
done by a qualified person in accordance with
all building codes and the National Electrical
Code (U.S. only), including codes for fire ratings.
Contact a qualified electrician if you are not
comfortable or familiar with electrical codes
and/or installations.

60 hertz, grounded circuit only with minimum
14-gauge wiring that has at least 3 amperes of
available capacity. If you cannot confirm there is
sufficient electrical capacity on an existing circuit,
install a separate dedicated circuit. Do NOT use

10. Ducted fans must always be vented to
the outdoors.
11. Before servicing, switch power off at service panel
and lock the service-disconnect to prevent power
from being switched on accidentally.
12. FOR HOMES WITH A GAS OR OIL FURNACE
OR APPLIANCE LOCATED IN THE SAME
SPACE: The ventilator MUST be wired with a
switch or other interlocking device to prevent
the furnace and ventilator from operating at the
same time during the heating cycle. The switch
or other interlocking device MUST disconnect the
vent unit from the electrical circuit power. GAF
recommends that the switch (not included) be
installed by a qualified person in accordance
with all applicable building codes and standards.
