How often should I clean the filter?
It is recommended to clean the washable filter regularly, typically every 1-3 months depending on usage and environmental conditions, to maintain optimal performance.

Troubleshooting
Fan not turning on
Check the mains power supply to the fan. Ensure the circuit breaker is not tripped. Verify all wiring connections are secure according to the installation manual.
Fan running continuously or not stopping
Check the timer overrun settings and adjust as needed. If the humidistat is causing continuous operation, ensure the room humidity is actually high or check the humidistat sensitivity adjustment.
Reduced extraction rate
Clean the washable filter as it may be clogged. Check the ducting for any obstructions or kinks. Ensure the fan's air inlets are not blocked.
Fan making unusual noise
Ensure the fan is securely mounted. Check for any foreign objects obstructing the impeller. Clean the filter and check for dust build-up.
