Operating Instructions
The iLiving Wall-Mount Shutter Exhaust Fan features variable speed control and an integrated thermostat for optimal performance.
Thermostat Control
- The built-in thermostat allows you to set a desired temperature range (32-130 °F).
- The fan will automatically activate when the ambient temperature exceeds the set threshold and deactivate when the temperature falls below it.
- To bypass the thermostat control and operate the fan continuously, turn the temperature control knob all the way counter-clockwise.
Speed Control
- The fan offers 3-speed settings to adjust airflow as needed.
- Use the speed control knob to select the desired fan speed. Higher speeds provide greater air circulation.
- When the fan is turned on, the powerful airflow will automatically open the aluminum shutters. When turned off, the shutters will close for a tight seal, preventing unwanted air or pests from entering.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your iLiving exhaust fan.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the fan blades and shutters to prevent dust and debris buildup, which can impede airflow. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.
- Motor: The fan motor is permanently lubricated and thermally protected, requiring no additional lubrication.
- Shutter Operation: Occasionally check the shutters to ensure they open and close smoothly without obstruction.
