3. Mount the External Grille: Secure the external grille to the exterior wall, ensuring it covers the outer end of the telescopic duct. Use the provided fixings.
4. Electrical Connection: Connect the fan unit to the electrical supply. This model is a timer version, typically wired to a lighting circuit. Refer to the wiring diagram provided with the fan for correct connections. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.
