							These Panasonic ventilating fans use a sirocco fan with dolphin-shaped blades driven by brushless direct
current motor powered by an integral transformer. The motor is designed to have long operating life, high
dynamic response, higher speed ranges with saving energy. The grille can be quickly detached from the main
unit. A damper for preventing air counterflow is provided. The blower uses a high-capacity sirocco fan developed
to reduce the noise level.

DESCRIPTION
The lighting unit is an energy-saving, lighting device which uses two 18W fluorescent lamps and produces
almost the same illumination as a standard 100W incandescent lamp.
This Panasonic ventilating fan (FV-08VKML1) is equipped with a motion sensor that runs automatically when
motion is detected. It is user-adjustable to operate 0.5~60 minutes after motion is no longer detected.

the manufacturer.
B. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
C. 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 manufacturers
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.
D. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
