If wall mounting the fan,
you will also need:
l Masonry drill, hammer & chisel (or core drill equipment,
if available).

l Locate it as high as possible.
l At least 145mm from edge of the wall/window frame to
the hole centre (see Fig. A.).
l As far as possible from and opposite to the main source
of air replacement to ensure airflow across the room
(e.g. opposite an internal doorway).
l Near the source of steam or odours.
l Not where ambient temperatures are likely to
exceed 50ºC.
l If installed in a kitchen, fans must not be mounted
immediately above a cooker hob or eye level grill.
l When the fan in installed in a room containing a fuel

Installing the switches
and cables
1. Check that there are no buried pipes or cables
(e.g. electricity, gas, water) behind the switch
location (in the wall or above the ceiling).
2. Lay in the cable from the isolating switch to the fan
location via the on/off switch (see Fig.E1), SW1 (see Fig.
E2.) and external boost SW1 (see Fig.E3) if required.
3. Lay in the cable from the isolating switch to the point of
connection to the mains supply.
WARNING: DO NOT MAKE ANY
CONNECTIONS TO THE ELECTRICAL
SUPPLY AT THIS STAGE.
4. Install the isolating switch and the on/off switch
(see Fig.E1), SW1 (see Fig.E2) and external boost SW2
(see Fig.E3) if required.
5. Make all connections within the isolating switch and the
on/off switch if required.
Note: When installed in a bathroom all switches must be of
a pull cord type and must be situated so that they cannot
be touched by persons making use of the bath or shower.
For Australia only
These models are permanently connected to the supply
and operation is controlled by a remote switch. They should
be directly wired to the supply through an approved 10A
wall-mounted surface switch with at least 3mm clearance
between contacts.
Preparing the hole
If working above ground level, appropriate safety
precautions must be observed.
WARNING: EYE PROTECTION
MUST BE WORN DURING ALL
DRILLING AND CHISELLING
OPERATIONS.
If installing in a wall
1. Check there are no buried pipes or cables in the wall or
obstructions on the outside (e.g. electricity, gas, water).
2. Ensure that the centre of the hole is located at least
145mm from the edges of the wall.
3. Mark on the centre of the duct hole.
4. Use this centre to draw a circle to suit the wall duct
(203mm diameter for a WK6/300 or WK6/450).
If core drill equipment
is available
5a. Use as directed by the core drill manufacturer.
If core drill equipment
is not available
5b. Drill a centre hole right through the wall.
5. Cut the hole. Do not cut right through the wall
(the recommended method is to drill a series of holes,
close together, around the edge of the cutting line and
remove the brick between the holes with a chisel).
7. Go outside and cut a hole in the outer wall, repeating the
process described above.
8. Fit the ducting. Ensuring that the duct slopes down away
from the fan to allow drainage of any incoming rain water
to the outside.
9. Make good the hole. Allow for mortar to set before
continuing with the installation.
If installing in a window
Obtain a ready cut pane with a correctly located hole
184mm diameter. (See Fig.A).
Preparing the Fan for
installation
1. For window mounting, use the two short ladder strips
supplied with the fan.
For wall mounting, use the longer strips supplied with
the wall kit WK6/300 or WK6/450.
2. Secure the two ladder strips to the outer grille by
positioning them over the hook moulding and snapping
into position.
3. Ensure after fitting the hook moulding that the gasket
is in the correct position. (See Fig.B).
4. Insert the two screw covers in the two fixing holes in
the outer grille.
