5. Operating Instructions
The Einfeben bathroom fan features an automatic humidity sensor and an adjustable timer for convenient operation.
5.1 Humidity Sensor Function
The integrated humidity sensor automatically detects the ambient humidity level. When the indoor humidity reaches the user-defined threshold (adjustable between 60% and 90%), the fan will activate automatically. It will continue to operate until the humidity level drops below the set threshold, ensuring efficient moisture removal.
5.2 Timer Function
The fan includes an adjustable timer function. After the main power switch is turned off, the fan can be set to continue running for a specified duration. The timer can be adjusted from 30 seconds to 30 minutes, allowing for continued ventilation after leaving the room.
5.3 Quiet Operation
Image: The fan operates quietly, with a noise level below 35 dB.
The fan is designed with a bearing motor for quiet operation, producing a noise level of less than 35 dB. This ensures minimal disturbance, making it suitable for use in bedrooms and other quiet areas.
5.4 Backdraft Damper
The fan is equipped with a backdraft damper (also known as a reflux baffle). This feature prevents cold air, drafts, or insects from entering the room through the ducting when the fan is not in operation.
