FAQs

What size ducting does this fan require?

This Airvent extractor fan requires 100 mm (4-inch) diameter ducting.

Can I install this fan myself?

While the fan itself is designed for straightforward mounting, it requires electrical wiring. For safety and compliance with regulations, professional installation by a qualified electrician is strongly recommended.

How does the timer function work?

The timer function is typically wired to a switched live, often the bathroom light. When the light is turned off, the fan continues to run for a pre-set period (which may vary based on wiring) to ensure complete ventilation before shutting off.

What is a backdraught shutter?

A backdraught shutter is a flap or mechanism that opens when the fan is running to allow air to be extracted, but closes when the fan is off to prevent outside air, drafts, or insects from entering your home through the ducting.

Is this fan suitable for a shower room?

Yes, this fan is specifically designed for use in bathrooms and other wet areas prone to high humidity, such as shower rooms and en-suites.

How often should I clean the fan?

It is recommended to clean the fan grille and blades approximately once a month to maintain optimal performance and airflow. Ensure power is disconnected before cleaning.

What is the weight of the fan?

The fan weighs approximately 1.09 pounds (0.49 kg).

Troubleshooting

Fan does not turn on

Ensure the fan is correctly wired to the power supply and that the circuit breaker is engaged. Check if the linked switch (e.g., light switch) is active.

Fan is making unusual noise

Check for any obstructions in the fan blades or ducting. Ensure the fan is securely mounted and not vibrating against the housing or ceiling.

Low airflow or poor performance

Clean the fan grille and blades. Inspect the ducting for blockages, kinks, or leaks. Ensure the backdraught shutter is opening correctly.

Timer is not functioning correctly

Verify the wiring to the switched live is correct. Consult an electrician if unsure about the wiring for the timer function.
