Description
These Panasonic ceiling mount ventilating fan models use a sirocco fan driven by a capacitor motor.
The motor is designed to have an extended service life with reduced energy consumption.
It also incorporates a thermal-cutoff for safety. The grille can be quickly detached from the main unit. A damper for
preventing air counterflow is provided. The blower uses a high-capacity sirocco fan developed to reduce the noise
level.
The light unit is an energy-saving, lighting device which uses two 13W fluorescent lamps and produces almost the
same illumination as a standard 100W incandescent lamp.
