Failure to follow these instructions could result in personal injury or property damage. If you need assistance in under- standing these instructions or have questions or comments, please call 309-692-6969. WARNING– TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THIS FAN WITH ANY SOLID-STATE SPEED CONTROL DEVICE OTHER THAN THOSE INCLUDED WITH THE PRODUCT OR AVAIL- ABLE AS AN OPTIONAL CONTROLLER SPECIFICALLY MANUFACTURED FOR THIS PRODUCT. WARNING– TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer. Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the ser- vice disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel. CAUTION– FOR GENERAL VENTILATING USE ONLY. DO NOT USE TO EXHAUST HAZARDOUS OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS AND VAPORS. CAUTION– THIS UNIT HAS AN UNGUARD- ED IMPELLER DURING OPERATION. DO NOT USE IN LOCATIONS READILY ACCESSIBLE TO PEOPLE OR ANIMALS. WARNING– TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: Qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction, must do installation work and electrical wiring. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities. 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. DO NOT install this unit over a tub or shower. NEVER place a switch where it can be reached from a tub or shower. • • • • • • • • FCC REQUIREMENTS THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES. FCC ID: NGQGLD001 Operation is subject to the following two conditions: This device may cause harmful interference. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. OPERATING INFORMATION Keep screened windows and/or doors open when the fan is operating to avoid drawing carbon monoxide from furnace and water heater flues and extinguishing pilot lights of appliances. During hot weather requiring air conditioning, when outside air is cooler than indoors, cool the house quicker by first operating the whole house fan for approximately 10 minutes. Then turn off the fan and turn on the air conditioner. For operation during mild weather conditions (when the use of air conditioning is not required) use “Exhaust” modes to evacuate warm air quickly. Then reduce the speed to lower settings for maintaining whole house ventilation. • • • • • TOOLS AND MATERIALS NEEDED Safety goggles Tape measure or folding ruler Pencil Portable electric drill Small drill bit (1/8-, 3/16-inch, etc.) Heavy gauge (bailing) wire or wire hanger Utility knife or Keyhole saw – for cutting sheet rock Saw for cutting lumber 2X framing lumber (length depends on Step 5) to match cross section dimensions of existing joist Wood screws or nails for framing (minimum 8, see Step 5) 1/4-inch nut driver bit (3) Twist-on electrical wire connectors Screwdriver with Phillips bit (2) 1.5V (AA) batteries Optional Tools and Materials– Code required electrical materials • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Note:Before you begin the step-by-step installation, read the sections on “Attic Ventilation Requirements” and “Electrical Requirements” on page 3. Whisper Aire WHSP2000 Whole House Attic Fan Installation Instructions ™ Step 4: Cut the hole Using a keyhole saw or utility knife, cut between the four corner locations. Note:If you are cutting from inside the attic, you may first want to cut a hand-sized hole at the center to allow for a place to secure the sheet rock while cutting between the four corners. This should help prevent the face of the sheet rock from tearing below. Step 5: Install the framing members Depending on the ceiling joist spacing, cut 2X lumber to (2) 14 1/2-inch lengths for 16-inch OC joists or (2) 22 1/2-inch lengths for 24-inch OC joists. Note:Verify these lengths with a tape mea- sure before cutting lumber. Using nails or wood screws (not provided), install the framing members between the joists with the inside edge flush with the exposed sheet rock edges.(Illustration C) Optional Step:To help reduce the noise level of the fan in the “Exhaust Mode” (higher speeds), install additional 2X framing lumber above the ceiling joists and framing members to create a box that extends the fan further away from the plane of the ceiling and the grill. Warning: It is critical to ensure that enough clearance is available for the fan (Step 2). In addition, the framed box should be sealed so that attic air can not be drawn into it through the joints. Note:This optional step should help minimize the possibility of blown-in insulation from being carried by the airflow and should also help prevent the insulation from impeding the path of the shutter. If after this step has been…
