WARNING
The Air-Star is supplied with an MR16 2 watt LED bulb. This is the only bulb
suitable for use with this fan. Do not replace with any other bulb as this will
invalidate any warranty. Do not exceed the stated wattage.
Maintenance
- Fan maintenance is to be performed only after the fan is disconnected from the mains
power supply. Maintenance means periodic clearing of the surfaces from dust and
dirt.
- All surfaces should be cleaned with diluted detergent, i.e. washing up liquid, and a soft
cloth. Scourers and scouring agents should not be used, as these may cause damage
to the surface of the product

Position the Fan on the Ceiling
1) Choose a suitable position for your fan
according to Figure 1 opposite. Use a
cable finder to check if there are any
buried cables or pipes in the ceiling.
Ceiling mounted ventilation should
be ducted through the roof space, by
ducting to an external soffit under the
eaves or grille in the slope of your roof.
NB: Ducting installed between a floor
and ceiling can only run between joists,
not across them.
2) Mark the position of the vent fascia with
a pencil in a suitable position on the
ceiling, making sure that it is between
the joists.
3) Drill a 9mm hole through the ceiling
anywhere along the edge of the pencil
line. Now cut out the hole with a pad
saw.
4) Hold the vent fascia against the ceiling
and mark the position of the fixing
holes. Fix the unit in place using suitable
heavy duty plasterboard fixings (not
supplied).
5) Attach flexible ducting (not supplied)
with the metal hose clamps. Ensure that
the ducting has a smooth flow towards
the external grille to minimise air
resistance. Follow a similar procedure
for the outside wall grille.

only. Installations must be made in accordance with the current IEE wiring regulations and relevant building regulations. HiB
recommends that all electrical bathroom products should only be fitted by a suitably qualified, Part P registered electrician.
