5. Operating Instructions
Your OREiN Bathroom Exhaust Fan with Light is designed for simple operation.
5.1 Fan Operation
The exhaust fan is typically controlled by a standard wall switch. Flip the switch to turn the fan ON or OFF. Note that the fan may have a slight delay (a few seconds) in starting up due to its slow start mechanism, which protects the DC motor.
5.2 Light Operation and Color Temperature Selection
The integrated LED light can be controlled independently or in conjunction with the fan, depending on your wiring setup. The light offers three color temperature options (3000K, 4000K, 5000K) and a nightlight mode.
- Selecting Color Temperature: To change the light color temperature, locate the small toggle switch on the fan housing (before installing the light cover). Slide this switch to select your desired color temperature (3000K Warm White, 4000K Cool White, or 5000K Daylight).
- Activating Nightlight Mode: The nightlight mode can be activated by quickly cycling the light switch ON-OFF-ON within 2 seconds. This will switch the light to a low-intensity nightlight setting. To return to the main light, cycle the switch again.
