NOTE: Let fan come to a complete stop before changing fan
direction.
NOTE: If the speed switch is in the "0" position the fan operates
only as a vent.
• To keep condensation from accumulating open the vent fan lids slightly to
help the air circulate. Condensation occurs naturally from fluctuations in
interior and exterior temperatures, humidity and dew point changes, steam
from cooking, or boiling large amounts of water on the cooktop. Shower
usage also produces condensation.
• If the fan fails to operate, check for either a blown fuse in the domestic fuse
panel or the 6-amp fuse on the fan.
• To clean the screen, remove the eight screws holding it in place. Wash the
screen using a non-abrasive soap and water. Re-install the screen and tighten
the screws.
• Keep all the vents closed when using the Fantastic Fan Vent. Direct the
airflow by slightly opening the window(s) on the shaded side of the
motorhome to obtain the maximum airflow, especially on hot, sunny days.
Close all the roof vents. The area between the open window(s) and the
Fantastic Vent supplies the maximum airflow and providing the most
comfort.
NOTE: Do not leave the vent cover open while the motorhome is
stored or unattended for extended periods. High winds other
unusual conditions or obstructions may prevent closing. The
resulting leakage could cause serious damage.
The exhaust fan is a three-speed controlled fan with a zero or off position on the
fan. The exhaust fan requires the presence of 12 Volt DC to operate. The fan will
extract air from the motorhome. There are two ceiling vent fan.
The knurled knob manually opens and closes the dome cover.

the dome cover opens approximately two inches, the fan motor
begins to operate.
To operate the fan :
• The battery cutoff switch needs to be set ON.
• The fan blades activates once the dome opens past approx-
imately two inches.
• The dome manually opens and closes using the knurled
knob.
