These Panasonic ceiling mount ventilating fan models use a low noise sirocco fan driven by a capacitor motor.
The motor is designed to have an extended service life with reduced energy consumption.
It also incorporates a thermal-cutoff for safety. The grille covering the main body is a spring-loaded,quick-remove
type. A damper for preventing couterflow is provided.

CAUTION:
            To install the ventilating fan, follow the procedures described in lnstallation II. Take the following precautions before
            installation.,
1.  Installation in existing construction.
     Installing the ventilating fan in an existing building requires an accessible area (attic or crawl space) above the planned
     installation location or existing ducting and wiring.
Check area above planned installation location to be sure that:
1.   Duct work can be installed and that area is sufficient for proper ventilation.
2.   Wiring can be run to planned location.
3.   No wiring or other obstructions will interfere with installation.
Inspect duct work and wiring before proceeding with installation.
Plan suitable location for ventilating fan.(next to ceiling joist)
