Questions and Answers for Broan-NuTone 70 CFM Ceiling Bathroom Exhaust Fan with Light, White Grille and Light

A:  No. The fan assemblies are riveted or spot welded to the can. Besides, to get a quieter fan, you have to decrease the CFM ("Cubic Feet per Minute" of air movement), defeating the purpose of the fan.

A:  You cannot replace the motor for the 769RL with a quieter one. If you wish to have a quieter exhaust fan, you will have to replace the entire unit, housing and all.

A:  You basically pull it out the way you inserted it. It is hard to do, and it is really easy to break the bulb by hitting it against the side of the housing. Hopefully they will change something when they come out with a newer version.

A:  This unit has a snap-in type lens cover. Be sure the light is OFF. To remove the lens so you can change the bulb, follow these instructions . . . the plastic lens as two tabs on the side. You will need a flat head screw driver or a butter knife to gently push it in so is can drop down. Use some caution here, as you do NOT want to drop the cover. This will expose the bulb/socket. Change the bulb. Gently snap the cover back into place. If you have questions, dial 888-336-3948 and our Customer Service Department can assist you.

A:  John, you can use a vacuum cleaner hose and vacuum it off, then maybe wipe it down with a damp cloth.

A:  To clean this unit, remove the light lens from the grille assembly. Once you remove the light lens, remove the light bulb.

You can now clean the dust and dirt from the grille and also clean inside the housing of the unit. If you need further assistance, please contact Technical Support at 1-888-336-6151.
