PRACTICAL GUIDE TO INSTALLATION
Properly insulate the area around the fan
to minimize building heat loss and gain.
(Fig.28)
Loose fill or batt insulation can be placed
directly over the fan housing in the attic.
Our fans and fan/light combination units 
do not create excessive heat that is a 
common problem with recessed light
fixtures or some competitors  fan/light
combinations. Our efficient, cool-running
motors and our fluorescent lamp do not
create enough ambient heat to be subjected
to these limitations.  Fluorescent lamp
