FAQs

How do I operate the fan?

This model is operated manually using the integrated pull cord. Pull the cord once to turn the fan on, and pull it again to turn it off.

Is this fan suitable for a small bathroom?

Yes, with an airflow of 105 m³/h, it is well-suited for most standard to small-sized bathrooms.

How often should I clean the fan?

It is recommended to clean the fan and its components at least every 3-6 months, or more frequently in humid environments, to maintain optimal performance and air quality.

Can I upgrade this fan to have a timer function?

What does 28 dBA mean for noise level?
