Product Information
Full details
The 100 mm Airope Air Extractor Fan is designed for efficient and quiet ventilation in small to medium spaces like bathrooms, kitchens, and toilets. Its key benefit is its near-silent operation (26 dBA) combined with an integrated check valve and mosquito net, preventing backdrafts and insect entry. A potential caveat is its specific 100 mm size, requiring compatible ducting.

Troubleshooting
Fan does not turn on
Check that the fan is correctly connected to the power supply and that the power source is active. Verify the wiring and ensure any wall switch is in the 'on' position.
Reduced airflow or noise
Inspect the fan blades, ducting, check valve, and mosquito net for any blockages or debris. Clean as per the 'Care' instructions. Ensure the ducting is not kinked.
Fan is making unusual noises
Turn off the power and check for any foreign objects that may have entered the fan housing. Ensure the fan is securely mounted and not vibrating against any surfaces.
