Full details

This AirTech-UK Bathroom Extractor Fan is designed for homeowners seeking effective ventilation to combat moisture and odors in bathrooms, kitchens, and toilets. Its key benefit is powerful and quiet operation, preventing dampness and improving air quality.

Key features include a 120m³/hr airflow, an automatic shutter to prevent backdrafts, a convenient pull cord, and a modern, unobtrusive square design.

FAQs

What is Zone 3 installation?

Zone 3 refers to areas in a bathroom or wet room that are furthest from potential water sources. It is considered a dry area where electrical equipment is generally safe to install, but it specifically excludes splash zones or areas with direct water contact.

Can this fan be controlled by a light switch?

This model is designed with a pull cord for operation. While it might be possible to wire it to a separate switch with professional electrical modification, it is not its intended use and would require an electrician's expertise.

How often should I clean the fan?

It is recommended to clean the fan's exterior and check for debris at least every 3-6 months, or more frequently if you live in a particularly dusty environment or use the fan heavily.

What is the noise level of this extractor fan?

The fan operates at a whisper-quiet level of ≤33 decibels, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments.

Does the automatic shutter prevent rain from entering?

The automatic shutter is designed to prevent backdrafts of cold air and odors. While it offers some protection, it is not intended as a primary defense against direct rain entry, especially if installed in an exposed location.

What size ducting does this fan require?

This extractor fan is designed for 100mm or 4-inch ducting.

Troubleshooting

Fan does not turn on when pull cord is activated.

Ensure the fan is correctly wired and connected to a live power supply. Check the fuse or circuit breaker. Verify the pull cord mechanism is not damaged and is properly attached.

Reduced airflow or noise.

Check the ducting for any blockages or kinks. Clean any dust or debris from the fan blades and the shutter mechanism.

Automatic shutter does not open or close properly.

Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the shutter from moving. Clean the shutter area gently. If the mechanism is stiff, check for any damage.

Fan is making unusual noises.

Check for foreign objects near the fan blades. Ensure the fan is securely mounted and that no loose parts are vibrating.

  • Modern and discreet design complements most interiors.

Cons

  • Not suitable for splash zones or areas with direct water exposure (Zone 1 & 2).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This extractor fan is designed for wall mounting and is suitable for installation in Zone 3 or dry, well-ventilated areas. It is crucial to ensure the fan is installed by a qualified electrician, following all local building and electrical regulations. The fan requires connection to a suitable electrical power source. The pull cord mechanism should be accessible for operation.

Compatibility:

This unit is compatible with standard 100mm (4-inch) ducting. Ensure that any ducting used is appropriately sized and installed to facilitate optimal airflow. The fan's square faceplate is designed to fit standard wall openings for this size of fan.

Care:

Regular cleaning will ensure optimal performance and longevity.

  1. Disconnect power before cleaning.
  2. Wipe the exterior grille and casing with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  3. Periodically check the fan blades for dust buildup and gently clean with a soft brush or cloth if accessible. Ensure no dust obstructs the shutter mechanism.
  4. Ensure the automatic shutter can move freely.
