Operating Instructions
The AERAULIQA QX100T is designed for continuous or intermittent operation to extract air from humid or stale environments.
Power On/Off
The fan is typically controlled via an external light switch or a dedicated fan switch. When the switch is turned on, the fan will activate.
Two-Speed Motor
The motor has two speeds for varying ventilation needs and noise levels. The speed setting can be adjusted internally. Consult the full instruction manual for details on how to change the speed setting. Always disconnect power before making any internal adjustments.
Timer Function
The integrated timer delays the fan's shutdown for a pre-set duration after the main switch is turned off. This ensures continued air extraction after leaving the room. The timer is adjustable between 1 and 25 minutes. To adjust the timer, carefully remove the front cover and locate the timer adjustment dial. Use a small screwdriver to set the desired delay. Always ensure the power is off before adjusting the timer.
