may also be used as a supply ventilator  
or recirculating central ventilator for  
the introduction of outdoor air, raising  
the temperature of the fresh air by  
mixing with recirculated indoor air.  
When used with adjustable balancing  
grilles or ALDES CAR, Constant Airow  
Regulators, and compatible roof/wall  
caps, ducting, etc., the fan is the heart  
of a complete pre-engineered ventilation  
system.  
Unpack the unit, taking care to look  
for any loose components among the  
packing material. Make certain that the  
fan housing and the blower is free of any  
loose packing material or small parts.  
If not removed before startup, damage  
and injury may result from solid objects  
discharged by the blower. Inspect for  
damage, loose or missing parts.  
WARNING  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,  
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY  
TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE  
FOLLOWING:  
A. Use this unit only in the manner  
intended by the manufacturer. If  
you have any questions, contact the  
manufacturer.  
Install the unit in its nal location. The  
fan may be installed in a mechanical  
room, crawl space or attic. It is designed  
to be placed on a at surface, against  
a wall or trusses, or suspended from  
above. If set on a at surface, vibration  
isolation pads are recommended.  
SYSTEM DESIGN:  
Satisfactory performance of a central  
ventilation system requires the proper  
integration of all the components:  
B. Before servicing or cleaning unit,  
switch power off at service panel and  
lock service panel to prevent power  
from being switched on accidentally.

Alternatively, it may be suspended using  
threaded rods or chains. At least 12  
inches clearance is needed from the  
access panel to permit servicing the  
motor.  
Proper duct design for friction  
In addition to the following manufacturer’s  
instructions, it is necessary to comply  
with federal, state, and local government  
codes. Your purchase of this American  
ALDES ventilation system represents an  
investment in the health and comfort of  
the occupants, as well as an investment  
in the protection of the building from the

This model of centrifugal fan is designed  
for multiple purposes. It may be used  
as an in-line rectangular duct fan (Model  
RDF) or a manifolded, multi-port fan for  
multiple exhaust or supply points. It  
may be installed in a remote location  
such as an attic space, mechanical room  
or above a drop ceiling, in a closet or  
laundry room, to provide quiet exhaust  
of stale, humid, or otherwise polluted air  
from bathrooms, the kitchen, laundry,  
or storage rooms, via exhaust grilles  
and ducting to the centrally located fan,  
which is ducted to the outdoors. With  
small return grilles in bedrooms and  
other areas, and one duct connection  
Upon receipt, inspect the carton to insure Mounting brackets are supplied with  
the fan has not been damaged in transit.  
If damaged, it is the responsibility of the  
recipient to le a damage claim with the  
carrier. American ALDES Ventilation  
Corporation is not responsible for  
the fan. The brackets may be mounted  
to the fan using the self-drilling screws  
and rubber grommets provided, at the  
locations indicated by dimple marks  
on the side and bottom panels of the  
fan. Pan head number 10 screws are  
provided to attach the mounting bracket  
to the building framing members. It may  
be necessary to add additional framing  
members to span wall studs. It is not  
recommended to use drywall anchors  
to support the fan. If installed against  
a concrete or masonry wall, concrete

Handle the unit with care to prevent  
damage to the housing and other  
components. Store the unit indoors if  
possible. If outdoor storage is required,  
protection against moisture and dirt is  
necessary.  
 
For installations in which the fan is connected to a range hood, or if an exhaust grille connected to the fan  
is located near the cooking surface as shown below, be sure to observe the following safety warnings:  
WARNING  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY  
GALVANIZED STEEL DUCTWORK WHERE  
REQUIRED TO USE METAL DUCT.  
(Note: If the fan is not connected to a range  
hood or a grille in the vicinity of the cooking  
surface, other approved ducting may be used  
as described in "Ducting" section of basic  
instructions.)  
WARNING  
WARNING  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP  
GREASE FIRE:  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP  
GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:  
A. Never leave surface units unattended  
at high settings. Boilovers cause  
smoking and greasy spillovers that  
may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or  
medium settings.  
A. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-tting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the  
burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the ames do not go out immediately  
EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.  
B. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned.  
C. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a violent steam explosion  
could result.  
B. Always turn hood ON when cooking at  
high heat or ambeing food (i.e. Crepe  
Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn  
Beef Flambe).  
D. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:  
1. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how  
to operate it.  
C. Clean ventilating fans frequently.  
Grease should not be allowed to  
accumulate on fan or lter.  
2. The re is small and contained in the area where it started.  
3. The re department is being called.  
D. Use proper pan size. Always use

General: MPVS Series multi-port  
ventilators are highly versatile continuous  
duty rated fan units for residential and  
light commercial applications, and meet  
ENERGY STAR efciency criteria for  
low energy consumption. The most  
popular use is central continuous exhaust  
ventilationofbathrooms,kitchens,laundry  
rooms, and other rooms where humidity  
is a controlling factor, since the fan has a  
single exhaust discharge duct directly to  
the outdoors.  
DROP DOWN  
HINGED  
ACCESS  
PANEL FOR  
SERVICE AND  
INSPECTION  
The principle advantage of the MPVS  
central exhaust system is the assurance  
of controlled indoor air quality ventilation  
and the elimination of standard noisy bath  
fans, with the obvious benets of reduced  
penetrationstotheexteriorofthebuilding.  
Withtheincreasedtightnessofconstruction  
for energy efcient buildings, there is a  
growingneedofmechanicalventilationfor  
indoorairquality. Thesefansaredesigned  
to serve this purpose as well, by providing  
effective bathroom ventilation, with the  
ability to run intermittently or continuously  
as needed. The quiet, energy efcient  
permanent split capacitor external rotor  
motor has permanently sealed bearings  
that provide many years of maintenance-  
free performance.  
DIMENSIONS:  
MPVS 100 and 120  
Duct Conguration(s) 313, 323, and 333  
Construction: The MPVS fan is  
constructed of heavy gauge galvanized  
steel to prevent corrosion caused by  
moisture. The cabinet is internally lined  
with UL rated, acoustic closed-cell foam  
vapor barrier insulation. This allows  
installation directly above living spaces,  
or in unheated plenum spaces without  
concern for noise or condensation.

efcient permanent split capacitor type,  
of external rotor design. Totally sealed to

it is approved for use to remove steam  
and moisture in kitchen and bath areas.  
The motor incorporates permanently  
lubricated sealed bearings and automatic  
reset thermal overload protection. It is
