Frequently Asked Questions - ECO 30 D Maico

How to adjust the fan's pivot angle?

The pivot angle is set at the factory to 90°. To change it, spread the bearing bracket, remove the bearing sleeve from the eccentric lever, then move the pin to the desired position: 55°, 70°, 90° or 115° (see Fig. B in the manual).

What to do if the fan does not start?

First check that the mains fuse is on. If the motor is hot, the thermal protection may have cut the power: wait up to 10 minutes for it to cool down, the fan will restart automatically. If the problem persists, check that the blade is not blocked by a foreign object.

How to clean the fan?

First disconnect the power supply (turn off the fuse and secure it). Clean the bearing bracket and the unit with a dry cloth. If the protective guard is very dirty, use a damp cloth. Never disassemble the protective guard and do not use aggressive products.

What is the recommended minimum mounting height?

The distance between the lower edge of the protective guard and the floor must be at least 2.30 meters.

Can I use the fan with a frequency drive?

Use with a frequency converter is only permitted after prior approval from the manufacturer and case-by-case review. Phase-cut control can cause hums.

What to do in case of unusual noise or vibrations?

Noise or imbalance may be due to a dirty or obstructed blade. Clean the blade with a damp cloth. Also check that no foreign object is stuck in the impeller.

Is the fan suitable for outdoor use?

No, the device is designed only for fixed indoor installation. IP20 is not suitable for outdoor or humid/dusty atmospheres.

How can I get spare parts?

Spare parts (blade, guard, motor, etc.) are available on request from the manufacturer. The references are listed in the manual. Only a qualified electrician should perform the replacement.

What are the risks if the protective guard is removed?

Operation without the protective guard is prohibited. This exposes to risk of injury from the rotating blade. Moreover, the device no longer complies with safety standards.

How to dispose of the fan at end of life?

The device contains recyclable materials. Do not dispose of it with household waste. Dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner in accordance with local regulations (WEEE).
