Before installing your new Multi-vent, make sure to place it on an outside wall near an electrical outlet, in the dampest location. Once installation is complete, plug the Multi-vent into the closest outlet. Set the dial to your humidity preference. If you wish to use the unit on for a continuous basis, turn the dial fully to the right (20%). If you would like it to run at minimum capacity, turn the dial fully to the left (80%). The manufacturer’s suggested setting is to be placed between 50% and 60% (NORMAL position).

1. From the inside, mark where the center
of the Multi-vent will be placed and drill through the wall
with a ¼’’x 12’’ pilot bit. The hole should be approximately
12 inches from the floor. Cut a 4 ½’’ hole through the
wall. |
 |
2. From the inside, place the Multi-vent
against the wall in the mounting position and mark where
the pilot screws will be placed. Drill ¼’’ holes, and
apply anchors with a hammer. |
 |
3. Use tape to attach the flex pipe over
the exhaust outlet on the back of the Multi-vent and fasten
three screws around the tape into the outlet collar. Place
Multi-vent into the pre-drilled hole and then secure appliance
by fastening to the anchors. |
 |
4. From the outside, stretch and cut any excess flex pipe. Proceed to place vent collar into the flex pipe and secure in its correct position by taping and screwing into the vent collar. |
 |
5. Fasten all four #6 (2”) screws in a diagonal pattern to prevent vent twisting, and to acquire the best fit around your siding. After securing in the final screw, use caulking to properly seal around the vent. |
