4 DESCRIPTION
These products are listed by UL under UL file No. E78414.
These products use a sirocco fan driven by a capacitor motor. The motor is designed to have an extended 
service life with reduced energy consumption. lt also incorporates a the\
rmal-cutoff for safety. 
The grille covering the main body is a spring-loaded, quick-release type\
. 
A damper for preventing counterflow is provided.
The lighting unit is an energy-saving lighting device which uses one 32W\
 fluorescent lamp and produces 
almost the same illumination as a standard 100W incandescent lamp. This product contains electronic ballast with one fluorescent lamp and is in compliance with Part 18 of 
the FCC rules as consumer RF lighting device. Operation is subject to th\
e following two conditions:
