Step 12: Mount the shutter
• From the hallway, position the shutter in the
ceiling cutout, and fasten it with the six
screws with white-painted heads.
• Make sure the vanes on the shutter are
positioned so all the airflow goes toward
the motor. This will help keep the fan
operating properly.
Step 13: Operate the fan
• Open windows and interior doors of rooms
to be ventilated by the fan.
• If you have a fireplace, make sure the flue
is closed.
• At your home's breaker box, switch on the
circuit breaker associated with the fan.
• Your whole house attic fan is ready to
operate. Always start the fan on high speed
and allow the shutters to open fully before
switching to low speed.
MAINTENANCE
• Belt tension should be checked every
6 months.

ATTIC VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
In order for the whole house fan to work
properly, adequate ventilation is needed
to exhaust the hot air from the attic that
the fan pulls into the attic from your home's
living space. If your attic is not adequately
vented, the whole house fan will shut off
automatically.
•
The WH302BD 30-inch belt drive whole
house fan requires a minimum of 7.6
square feet, or approximately 1100
square inches, of open vent area.
•
The WH362BD 36-inch belt drive whole
house fan requires a minimum of 9.2
square feet, or approximately 1325
square inches, of open vent area.
Check your attic ventilation system to
make sure that it provides at least these
minimum amounts of open vent area.
Typically, under-eave or soffit vents are
installed near the floor of the attic, and roof
louvers, gable vents, or ridge vents are
installed high in the attic to allow air to
escape. These vents are installed to
provide attic ventilation year round,
however, when the whole house fan is on,
these vents provide the net free area to
exhaust it.
Remember:
When you are measuring your
vents, obstructions such as louvers and
screens need to be factored into the open
vent area. A good rule of thumb is to divide
the vent's size in half.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Your whole house attic fan runs on standard
115-120 volt house current. Electrical
installation and wiring of the fan must adhere
to the National Electrical Code and all local
codes that apply, including fire-rated
construction.
Wiring the whole house attic fan itself is a
simple procedure that most homeowners can
accomplish (see Step 11, page 3). However,
bringing the electrical power supply to the
fan requires a higher level of electrical
knowledge and skill. If you are not
experienced at installing residential electrical
wiring and/or are not familiar with all national
and local electrical codes, you should hire a
qualified electrician to do the wiring for you.
