Troubleshooting

Check that the power supply is connected and the circuit breaker is engaged. Ensure the pull cord is functioning correctly and making contact.

Reduced airflow.

Inspect the ducting for any obstructions or kinks. Clean the fan blades and the front panel as they may be covered in dust.

Unusual noise during operation.
