FAQs
Can this fan be installed in a shower cubicle?
The fan is IPX4 rated, which provides splash protection; however, it should be installed according to local electrical regulations for bathroom zones.
What is the diameter of the ducting required?
This is a 6-inch extractor fan, so it requires 6-inch diameter ducting.
Does the timer need to be adjusted by a professional?
The timer is pre-configured, but any adjustments to internal electrical settings should be performed by a qualified person.
Is the pull cord removable?
The pull cord is a primary control feature of this specific model and is intended to be used as the activation switch.
Does this fan come with a mounting kit?
The unit includes comprehensive installation instructions, but you should ensure you have the appropriate wall plugs and screws for your specific wall or ceiling type.
Troubleshooting
Fan fails to start when cord is pulled
Check the fuse and ensure the electrical supply is properly connected at the terminal block.
Timer does not stop the fan
Verify the wiring connections against the provided diagram, as incorrect wiring can bypass the timer function.
Excessive noise during operation
Ensure the fan is mounted flush against the wall or ceiling and that the fixing screws are not overtightened, which can cause vibration.

Cons
- Requires professional or experienced DIY electrical installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the electrical supply is isolated at the mains. The unit measures 200mm in width and 230mm in height, so verify that your wall or ceiling cutout aligns with these dimensions. Always follow the included installation manual for wiring the timer circuit correctly. For maintenance, gently wipe the exterior white casing with a damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or excessive water, as the internal motor and electrical components must remain dry.
