Then you take the unit apart which is not difficult. But the enclosure may be nailed or screwed to ceiling joists and these must be removed carefully so you do not damage the enclosure. Once the enclosure is freed just rotate it to match up with your exhaust pipe of flex pipe. Attach the pipe first and then remount the enclosure using screws if the ceiling joists are wood. Then just assemble the unit, turn on power and you are good to go.

Unscrew the light bulb and replace with new one. Then push the cover back into place so it is snug against the ceiling. This in not a hard job but does require care so you do not scratch your ceiling.

A:  Remove lens by squeezing both sides and removing lens tabs from slot in grille. You should then be able to change the bulb.
