Frequently Asked Questions - EN 20 Maico

What is the difference between the EN and ENR models?
The EN model is a simple air extraction fan. The ENR model is reversible, allowing both extraction and insufflation of air, thanks to a capacitor and specific wiring.
Can I install the EN 20 fan in a bathroom?
Yes, provided you comply with VDE 0100 part 701 electrical standards for rooms with bathtubs or showers. The fan must be mounted out of reach of water splashes.
How do I clean the fan?
First disconnect the mains power. Remove the interior cover without tools. Clean the internal parts with a dry cloth or vacuum cleaner. Never use harsh detergents or put in dishwasher.
What if the fan does not start?
First check the mains fuse. If the motor is hot, thermal protection may have tripped: wait for cooling (automatic reset). If the problem persists, have the wiring checked by an electrician.
Do I have to install an external shutter?
Yes, the EN 20 fan must be used with an external shutter (MK, BK or AS) to ensure tightness and protection against object intrusion.
What type of electrical cable should I use?
Use a power cable with a cross-section of 1.5 to 2.5 mm², connected to a permanent electrical installation with a pole disconnection device of at least 3 mm contact opening.
Can the fan run continuously?
Yes, the motor is thermally protected and can run continuously as long as the fluid temperature does not exceed +40 °C. Respect the usage limits.
How do I adjust the fan speed?
Speed is adjusted via a 5-step transformer (TRE) or a step switch, according to the wiring diagram. These components are not supplied with the unit.
Where can I find spare parts?
Spare parts (cover, motor, impeller, etc.) are available from Maico manufacturer or authorized dealers. Indicate the manual edition number and device variant when ordering.
Can I mount the fan on the ceiling?
Yes, ceiling installation is possible following the same procedure as wall mounting. Ensure thermal insulation of ducts to avoid condensation.
