125mm/150mm EC Mixed-Flow Fan for Manual Extraction
Thank you for your purchase of our company’s product. It has been manufactured following
current technical safety regulations and is in compliance with AS/NZ60335 standard.
Please read this instruction booklet carefully before installing or starting up the
product.
It contains important information on personal and user safety measures to be followed while
installing, using, and carrying out maintenance work on the equipment. Once the product
has been installed, please hand this booklet to the end user.
Before installing the fan, it is important to understand the way this fan functions.
The fan is designed to run at a single speed, as selected by the dial on the fan.
While the fan is powered on, adjust the dial until the fan runs at the desired speed and leave
it at that position. The next time the fan is powered on, the fan will run at the selected speed
until power is switched off again.
If your fan does not come with a speed control dial, it is designed to run at full
speed only.
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
Before commencing installation, select a suitable place for the fan to be installed in the
ceiling cavity. The fan will be placed centrally within the ducted system, but should be no
more than 2 metres away from the inlet grille. For maximum effectiveness of the fan, do not
use more than 10m total length of ducting between the inlet and outlet.
It is recommended to suspend your fan from the ceiling framing with the chain provided in
order to minimise the sound levels resonating through the ceiling framing. Do not screw the
fan directly onto the timber frame!
Cut the hole for the inside grille and pull one end of the ducting through. Attach the spigot
of the inside grille to the end of the flexible duct with the duct tape provided. Pull the ducting
out to the fan, cut it to the desired length, and tape it onto the fan inlet.
Attach the remaining ducting to the fan outlet and feed the other end through the exterior
grille hole. Ensure the ducting is long enough to tape onto the spigot of the outside grille.
Cut off excess ducting and tape the end to the grille. Push the grille into place and fasten to
the wall/soffit.
Please note:
The inlet of the fan unit is on the side of the fan blades, the side that is not obstructed by
the fan frame. There are also arrows on the unit showing airflow direction.
Excessive ducting and sharp bends lower the fan’s performance. Before cutting the ducting,
ensure the duct is long enough, with gradual bends.
Important information for the safety of installers and user:
Installation must only be carried out by qualified persons. Make sure that the installation
complies with the applicable building and electrical regulations.
This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons unless they have
been adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the
appliance safely. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
This apparatus must not be used in explosive or corrosive atmospheres. If a fan is going to
be installed to extract air from premises where a boiler or other combustion apparatus are
installed, make sure that the building has sufficient air intakes to assure adequate
combustion. The extractor outlet must not be connected to a duct used to exhaust smoke
orfumes from any appliance that uses gas or any other type of fuel.
TRANSPORT AND MANIPULATION
The packaging used for this apparatus has been designed to support normal transporting
conditions. The apparatus must always be transported in its original packaging as not doing
so could deform or damage the product. Do not place heavy weights on the packed product
and avoid knocking or dropping it.
The product should be stored in a dry place in its original packaging, protected from dust
and dirt until it is installed in its final location. Do not accept delivery if the apparatus is not
in its original packaging or shows clear signs of having been manipulated in any way.
Check that the apparatus is in perfect condition while unpacking. Any fault or damage
caused in origin is covered by our company guarantee. Please make sure that the apparatus
coincides with the product you have ordered and that the details on the rating label fulfil
your requirements.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The extractor fan must be connected to a single-phase mains network, with the specific
voltage and frequency according to the specifications on the fan rating label and in
accordance with New Zealand electrical standards.
If the fan model you have purchased is fitted with a power plug then please note removing
this plug will void the warranty of the fan.
In case of damage to the power plug, cord, or device itself, switch off the device and do not
tamper with it. Damaged product must only be repaired or replaced exclusively by the
manufacturer or by an appointed representative. Failure to comply with the above may
endanger the safety of people and cause possible damage to the whole system.
SAFETY DURING INSTALLATION
Make sure there are no loose elements near the fan, as they could run the risk of being
sucked up by it. If it is going to be installed in a duct, check that it is clean of any element
that could be sucked up by the fan. When installing an apparatus, make sure that all the
fittings are in place and that the structure which supports it is resistant enough to bear its
weight at full functioning power.
Before installing the fan, make sure the mains supply is disconnected, even if the fan is
switched off.
If the fan is installed in a duct, the duct must be used for the extraction system only.
STARTING UP THE FAN
Fans may have delayed startup, or may operate under the control of the inbuilt controlling
electronics included with the fan. Always take extreme care as the fan may start
unexpectedly. Always disconnect the fan from power during maintenance.
Before starting up the fan, ensure that:

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
Before servicing the fan, make sure it is disconnected from the mains supply - even if it has
previously been switched off. Avoid the risk of anyone else plugging it in while you’re
working on it.
The fan must be regularly inspected. These inspections should consider the fan’s working
conditions, ensuring no dirt or dust builds up on the propeller, turbine, motor or grilles. This
could be dangerous and perceptibly shorten the fan’s lifespan. While cleaning, take extra
care not to damage the propeller.
All maintenance work should be carried out in strict compliance with New Zealand safety
regulations.
All our products contain repairable or replaceable parts. Repair or replacement of these parts
should only be handled by the manufacturer. In the case of damage or malfunction of the
fan, please contact the manufacturer or installer to arrange for repair. Please note that a
small fee may apply for repair services not covered under warranty.

grille hole. Ensure the ducting is long enough to tape onto the spigot of the outside grille.
Cut off excess ducting and tape the end to the grille. Push the grille into place and fasten to
the wall/soffit.
Please note:
The inlet of the fan unit is on the side of the fan blades, the side that is not obstructed by
the fan frame. There are also arrows on the unit showing airflow direction.
Excessive ducting and sharp bends lower the fan’s performance. Before cutting the ducting,
ensure the duct is long enough, with gradual bends.
Important information for the safety of installers and user:
Installation must only be carried out by qualified persons. Make sure that the installation
complies with the applicable building and electrical regulations.

the appliance.
This apparatus must not be used in explosive or corrosive atmospheres. If a fan is going to
be installed to extract air from premises where a boiler or other combustion apparatus are
installed, make sure that the building has sufficient air intakes to assure adequate
combustion. The extractor outlet must not be connected to a duct used to exhaust smoke
orfumes from any appliance that uses gas or any other type of fuel.
TRANSPORT AND MANIPULATION
The packaging used for this apparatus has been designed to support normal transporting
conditions. The apparatus must always be transported in its original packaging as not doing
so could deform or damage the product. Do not place heavy weights on the packed product
and avoid knocking or dropping it.
The product should be stored in a dry place in its original packaging, protected from dust
and dirt until it is installed in its final location. Do not accept delivery if the apparatus is not

tamper with it. Damaged product must only be repaired or replaced exclusively by the
manufacturer or by an appointed representative. Failure to comply with the above may
endanger the safety of people and cause possible damage to the whole system.
SAFETY DURING INSTALLATION
Make sure there are no loose elements near the fan, as they could run the risk of being
sucked up by it. If it is going to be installed in a duct, check that it is clean of any element
that could be sucked up by the fan. When installing an apparatus, make sure that all the
fittings are in place and that the structure which supports it is resistant enough to bear its
weight at full functioning power.
Before installing the fan, make sure the mains supply is disconnected, even if the fan is
switched off.
If the fan is installed in a duct, the duct must be used for the extraction system only.

previously been switched off. Avoid the risk of anyone else plugging it in while you’re
working on it.
The fan must be regularly inspected. These inspections should consider the fan’s working
conditions, ensuring no dirt or dust builds up on the propeller, turbine, motor or grilles. This
could be dangerous and perceptibly shorten the fan’s lifespan. While cleaning, take extra
care not to damage the propeller.
All maintenance work should be carried out in strict compliance with New Zealand safety
regulations.
