6. Delovanje

The Air King AK100D features dual-speed operation, allowing for flexible ventilation control.

6.1 Dual Speed Functionality

• Low Speed (50 CFM, 0.5 Sones): This setting is ideal for continuous whole-house ventilation, quietly maintaining air quality by removing stale air and moisture.
• High Speed (100 CFM, 1.5 Sones): Activate this setting for local exhaust when higher ventilation is needed, such as during or after showering, to quickly remove humidity and odors.

The fan's speed can be controlled via a compatible wall switch (not included) that supports dual-speed fan operation.
