Explanation of symbol word panels The following symbol word panels are used to classify and describe the level of hazard, injury, and property damage caused when the denotation is disregarded and improper use is performed. AWARNING Denotes a potential hazard that could result in serious injury or death. ACAUTION Denotes a hazard that could result in minor injury. NOTICEDenotes a hazard that could result in property damage. The following symbols are used to classify and describe the type of instructions to be observed. 0 This symbol is used to alert users to a specific operating procedure that must be followed in order to operate the unit safely. This symbol is used to alert users to a specific operating procedure that must not be performed. ® This symbol is used to alert users not to disassemble the equipment. symbol is used to alert users to make sure of grounding when using the equipment ®This with the grounding terminal. AWARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons, observe the following 0 Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer. 0 Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel. eInstallation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire -rated construction. 0 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 manufacturer's guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air -Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local code authorities. eWhen cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities. eDucted exhaust fans must always be vented to the outdoors. 0 If this unit is to be installed over a tub or shower, it must be marked as appropriate for the application and connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) - protected branch circuit. AThese models are UL listed for tub and shower enclosures. 2 English GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION CONTINUED GThis product is not to be installed in a ceiling thermally insulated to a value greater than R60. ® Do not disassemble the unit for reconstruction. It may cause fire or electric shock. eIf this product is no longer to be used, it must be removed from the ceiling to prevent it from falling. eThe ceiling joist must be able to withstand a static load of at least five times the weight of the product.

These products use a sirocco fan driven by a DC motor powered by an integral transformer. The motor is designed to have long operating life, high dynamic response, higher speed ranges and energy savings. The grille covering the fan body is a spring -attached, quick removal type. A damper for preventing air counter flow is provided. The blower uses a high -capacity sirocco fan developed to reduce the noise level. The lighting unit is an energy -saving LED lighting device that uses one 10 W LED lamp and produces almost the same illumination as a standard 40 W incandescent lamp. Night light feature consumes around 0.1 to 0.4 W. FCC Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning this product on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. • Connect equipment into outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Warning: This equipment must be installed by qualified person in accordance with the provided installation instructions and all applicable codes and standards. Also, any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. DoC Responsible Party: Panasonic Corporation of North America Two Riverfront Plaza, Newark, NJ 07102 Customer Call Center: 1-866-292-7299 This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

E�-------------- Live (Light) ---------- (Power supply) Power switch FEATURES Optimum Ventilation Performance: Duct length, elbows and other factors increase static pressure which can hinder the performance of most ventilation fans. These products utilize SmartFlow microchip technology that monitors the static pressure in the system and speeds up or slows down the rpm of the fan depending upon the amount of resistance within the ducts. This feature allows the fan to perform as rated and avoid potential installation issues. Outstanding Energy Savings: These products are built using DC motor technology. The DC motor is 30 % — 70 % more energy efficient than the minimum ENERGY STAR requirements.

Using a cloth dampened with kitchen deter gent, remove any dirt from fan body. Wipe dry with a clean cloth. Reinstall grille after finishing. English 11 PRACTICAL GUIDE TO INSTALLATION Properly insulate the area around the fan to minimize building heat loss and gain. Loose fill or batt insulation can be placed dir ectly over the fan housing in the attic. Panasonic fans do not create excessive heat, which is a common problem with recessed light fixtures and some competitors' fan/light combinations. Our of ficient, cool - running motors do not cr eate enough ambient heat to be subjected to these limitations. The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has a strong effect on the air flow, noise and energy use of the fan. Use the shortest, Insulation straightest duct routing possible for best performance, and avoid installing the fan with smaller ducts than recommended. Insulation around the ducts can reduce energy loss and inhibit mold growth. Fans installed with existing ducts may not achieve their rated air flow .
