FAQs

The adjustable timer allows the fan to continue running for a user-selected duration (1-30 minutes) after it's switched off, ensuring complete ventilation of moisture or odors.

Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Ensure the power is off before cleaning the fan blades and housing. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What is the noise level of this fan?
The noise level is approximately 40dBA when measured at a distance of 1 meter.
Can this fan be mounted horizontally and vertically?
Yes, the fan can be mounted on either a wall or a ceiling.
What is the power consumption?
The fan consumes 20W of power.
Troubleshooting

Reduced airflow
Inspect the ducting for any obstructions or kinks. Clean the fan impeller and housing from dust buildup. Ensure the external vent is not blocked.
Timer not functioning correctly
Verify the timer is set within the 1-30 minute range. Ensure the control mechanism for the timer is properly adjusted and engaged.
