3. Operating Instructions
The Broan-NuTone 9093WH unit is controlled by the included four-function wall switch. This switch allows independent operation of the fan, main light, heater, and nightlight functions.
Figure 3: A detailed view of the unit's light and heater components. The main light supports up to a 100-watt bulb, and a 7-watt nightlight provides a soft glow (bulbs sold separately).
Using the Wall Switch:
- Ventilation Fan: Use the "VENT" switch to turn the exhaust fan on or off. The fan helps remove moisture and odors from the bathroom.
- Main Light: Use the "LIGHT" switch to control the main incandescent light. This provides bright illumination for the bathroom.
- Heater: The "HEAT" function is typically controlled by a timer on the wall switch, allowing you to set the duration for heating (e.g., 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, or 30 minutes). Activate the heater for quick warmth in the bathroom.
- Nightlight: The "NIGHT LIGHT" switch activates the low-wattage nightlight, providing a soft glow for nighttime use without full illumination.

4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Broan-NuTone 9093WH unit. Dust and lint can accumulate on internal components, affecting efficiency and potentially increasing noise levels.
Recommended Maintenance:
- Regular Cleaning: Periodically remove the grille and vacuum any accumulated dust and lint from the fan and heater components. This should be done a few times a year, or more frequently depending on usage and household dust levels.
- Bulb Replacement: Replace light bulbs as needed. Ensure the unit is powered off before replacing bulbs. The main light supports up to a 100-watt incandescent bulb, and the nightlight uses a 7-watt bulb.
- Professional Inspection: Consider a professional inspection every few years to ensure all electrical connections and mechanical parts are in good working order.
Proper maintenance helps prevent issues such as increased noise and reduced airflow, ensuring your unit continues to function effectively.
