INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
Thank you for purchasing an AirScape
home with natural, quiet, and energy-efficient cooling for many years.
Please take a few minutes to read over this manual and its accompanying documents to make sure you
are prepared to install the fan. In particular:
•
The green THEORY OF OPERATION insert provides information critical to locating this fan within the
home, and to ensuring the home's attic has adequate ventilation for its operation.
•
This manual's ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS section described the electrical supply neccessary to
operate this fan.
Before installing this fan, inspect it and all of its parts for any damage it may have sustained
during shipping. DO NOT INSTALL DAMAGED EQUIPMENT. If you suspect this fan has been
damaged during shipping, contact AirScape technical support by phone at 1.866.448.4187, or
email at experts@airscapefans.com.
Whole House Fans are designed to be installed within a home's attic, which makes them and their
sub-components extremely difficult to access once installed. TEST THIS FAN OUTSIDE OF THE AT-
TIC BEFORE INSTALLING IT. Connect the fan to its controls and to a power supply, and ensure
it operates properly by turning it on and cycling through its speed settings. If any difficulties are
encountered, contact AirScape technical support at the numbers listed above.
