IMPORTANT: READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE COMMENCING THE INSTALLATION. DO NOT install this product in areas where the following may be present or occur:
- The fan must not be used in an explosive environment or connected to a flue gas duct, nor may it be used as a kitchen fan.
- Where corrosive or flammable gases, liquids, or vapors may be present.
- At ambient temperatures above 40°C or below -5°C.
- Where there are potential obstacles that may restrict access to the fan.
SAFETY AND GUIDANCE NOTES
A. Electrical installation must be carried out by a registered electrical
installation company. All wiring must be in accordance with national
electrical installation rules for each country’s electrical regulations.
B. A device for disconnecting the fan must be included in the main supply
network as specified in the national electrical installation rules.
C. Ensure that the mains supply (Voltage, Frequency) complies with the rating
label.
D. The fan is only intended for fixed installation.
E. When the fan is used to remove air from a room containing a fuel-burning
appliance, ensure that the air replacement is adequate for both the fan and
the fuel-burning appliance.
F. The fan should not be used where it is liable to be subject to direct water
spray for prolonged periods of time.
G. Where ducted fans are used to handle moisture-laden air, a condensation
trap should be fitted. Horizontal ducts should be arranged to slope slightly
downwards away from the fan.
H. According to standard EN 60335, the following should be taken into
account: The appliance can be used by children aged eight and above, people
with impaired physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or who lack experience
and knowledge if they are supervised or have been instructed in the safe use
of the appliance and are aware of the risks involved.
I. Children must not play with the appliance.
Cleaning and maintenance must not be carried out by children without
supervision.
J. After installation, make sure that the front cover is hooked into the fan
chassis as shown below.
INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT : The fan should only be used in conjunction with fixed wiring.
Before starting any kind of electrical work, live cables must be disconnected.
CEILING MOUNTING
-
When mounting on a ceiling/wall, the fan must be installed in a duct protected by an external air grille that must comply with the country’s standard requirements for preventing access to the fan’s propeller.
-
Holes are preferably made with a hole saw 108 mm in diameter for 100 mm fans.
Key dimensions, (see Figure 3). NOTE that the fan is seen from behind in this view.
To avoid condensation in draught ducts (in winter), these must be insulated if they pass through unheated spaces, e.g. cold winds. -
Press the two clamps onto the base of the fan (see Figure 2) and remove the cover from the chassis.
-
Mark the screw holes (see figure 3) using the fan base plate as a drilling template. Drill, plug and screw the fan in place.
-
If the fan is connected to the draught duct in the ceiling, the back draught shutter must be removed. NOTE: A back draught shutter is actually harmful if the fan is fitted in a ventilation duct with a natural draught. After installation, make sure that the impeller can rotate freely.
-
Replace the fan cover, making sure the hooks lock the cover securely.
WALL MOUNTING
-
When mounting on a ceiling/wall, the fan must be installed in a duct protected by an external air grille that must meet the country’s standard requirements to prevent access to the fan’s propeller
-
Holes are preferable to be made using a 108 mm diameter hole saw for 100 mm fans.
Insert the wall tube, tilt the tube slightly downwards from the fan, cut to length, and fix both ends in place in line with the wall surfaces. -
Press the two clamps on the bottom of the fan (see figure 2) and remove the cover from the chassis.
-
Mark the screw holes (see Figure 3) using the fan’s base plate as a drilling template, and adjust the base plate until it is level using the built-in spirit level (see Figure 1)
Drill, plug and screw the fan in place. Secure the outer wall grille in place with the slats facing downwards so that rainwater drains off.
(Note: – The walled tube used must not be shorter than 100 mm to leave enough room for the cold race protection to operate. -
See points 5 and 6 above.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT : The fan should only be used in conjunction with fixed wiring.
Before starting any kind of electrical work, live cables must be disconnected.
-
Press the two clamps onto the base of the fan (see Figure 2) and remove the cover from the chassis.
-
The fans in the Fresh F100 series can be installed so that the cables are concealed (Figure 4) or exposed (Figure 5). Assembly, see the previous page.
Open the internal cover (X) to access the terminal block electrical connection. -
The fans are intended for connection to 220-240V 50/60Hz. (power 7,5W, IPX5) The fans are class II, double-insulated products, and SHOULD NOT be earthed.
Select and follow the appropriate wiring diagram. (Fig. 6 or 7).
Fig. 6 = Wiring diagram for F100, Fig. 7 = Wiring diagram for F100 T and TH Check that all connections have been made correctly and properly.
Make sure that the impeller rotates and is free of obstacles. -
Replace the fan cover, making sure the hooks lock the cover securely.

The fan contains a built-in humidity detector that automatically sets the fan
to full speed when the relative humidity (RH) of the room increases. The fan
continues to run until the room RH falls.
The fan also has a built-in timer function which gives a fixed overrun time of
approx. 15 minutes.
The timer can be deactivated by removing jumper JP1, (Fig. 9).
- Press the two clamps on to the bottom of the fan (see Figure 2) and remove the cover from the chassis.
- To increase the START POINT, turn the potentiometer clockwise. This reduces the internal setpoint for relative humidity at which the fan is switched on. (Fig. 9)
- To reduce the START POINT, turn the potentiometer counterclockwise. This increases the internal setpoint for relative humidity at which the fan is switched on. (Fig. 9)
The integrated pull cord activates the internal 15-minute timer. The timer can be interrupted by pulling on the pull cord again. The pull cord can be removed by cutting the cord.
COMFORT MODE (TH model only)
The TH model includes comfort mode, which is activated by holding the pull
cord firmly for 5 seconds.
The function delays activation of the LS input for a maximum of 20 minutes to
reduce noise and cold draughts when taking a bath. When the LS is switched
off, the fan will be switched on for the same period that the LS would have
been active (up to 20 minutes), plus the overrun time if selected (15
minutes).
The LED flashes slowly repeatedly (every 4 seconds) while counting down the
comfort mode.
The LED changes from flashing to constant LED when LS boost is activated.
The fan’s internal humidity sensor is deactivated in comfort mode.
This function is reset if a power failure occurs.
SPEED SELECT (TH model only)
The fan can be set to high or low speed depending on the installation
requirements.
The fan is factory-set to low speed with jumper JP2 fitted.
To activate the high-speed setting, remove jumper JP2. (Fig. 9)
