Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Begin by selecting a clear area on the wall surface. Ensure the area is level and free of debris. Use the pre-drilled screw holes as a template to mark your drill points. Secure the vent to the wall using appropriate screws for your substrate (wood, brick, or concrete).
Compatibility: This unit is compatible with most standard wall types. Please verify that the wall thickness and mounting surface are sturdy enough to support the plastic housing.
Care: Maintenance is minimal. Periodically inspect the front louvres and the internal flyscreen for dust or cobweb buildup. Use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner on a low setting to clear any obstructions to maintain the 9500 sq mm of airflow capacity.
