DESCRIPTION
‘These Panasonic ceiling mount ventilating fan models use а sirocco fan driven by а capacitor motor.
The motor is designed to have an extended service life with reduced energy consumption.
It also incorporates a thermal-cutot for safety. The grile covering the main body is a spring-loaded, quick-cismount type. А
damper for preventing counterflow is provided. The blower uses a high-capacity sirocco fan developed to reduce the noise
level.
‘The heater ог this unit а 1400 watt sheathed heater. A thermostat and thermal cut-off switch have been added for salety
in case of an abnormal temperature rise in the heater.
The light unit is an energy-saving, lighting device which uses two 18W fluorescent lamps and produces almost the same
illumination
as
a
standard
100W
incandescent
lamp.
