Wire A Nutone







An exhaust fan helps to remove moisture from your bathroom.


NuTone manufacturers various ventilation fans --- also known as exhaust fans --- for bathrooms. An exhaust fan removes the moisture and odor from your bathroom, making it a more comfortable environment. The most sensitive part of installing an exhaust fan is wiring it. Wiring an exhaust fan correctly is important to ensure your NuTone fan works correctly and you do not create a fire hazard. With the right tools and directions, you can wire your NuTone exhaust fan correctly.


Instructions


1. Turn off the power to the electrical box where the NuTone fan will be wired. Turn off the light switch to the fan. Turn off the power at the circuit breaker to ensure no risk of electrocution.


2. Twist together the black wire from the exhaust fan and the black wire from the electrical box. Screw on a wire nut to secure both wires together.


3. Twist together the white wires from the exhaust and the electrical box. Twist a wire nut to secure the wires.


4. Connect the green or bare ground-wire from the exhaust fan to the green ground-screw on the electrical box. Use the screwdriver to secure the wire in place.


5. Turn on the power and test the exhaust fan. If the exhaust fan does not turn on, check for loose wires.
