Broan-NuTone Comfort Speaker OPERATION

The ChromaComfort & Sensonic Fan/Light/Speaker must be operated using only the wall control included. See separate operating instructions. DO NOT operate the ChromaComfort & Sensonic Fan/Light/Speaker with any other switches or controls.

IMPORTANT
The ducting from this fan to the outside of the building has a strong effect on the airflow, noise, and energy use of the fan. Use the shortest, 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 airflow.

OPTION
To mount housing anywhere between ceiling framing: Use an optional Hanger Bar Kit (sold separately from local distributors or website). Follow the mounting instructions included with kit.
