For maximum efﬁciency and fan performance

there are a few key points to

keep in mind when installing your Tastic.

Sufﬁcient air inlet into room

Steam will only be removed if there is sufﬁcient

ﬂow of air through the room.

Ensure generous inlets exist through windows,

vents or under the door.

Airﬂow path from inlet to fan should ideally

pass over the steam sources (see Fig.1)

Bathrooms which have high ceilings, are larger

then average, or have an open

shower may all require an additional ventilation

fan to be installed.

We recommend that you visit our website for

further details and suggestions on

effectively ventilating your bathroom.
