These Panasonic ceiling mount ventilating fan models use a sirocco fan with dolphin-shaped blades driven by
a capacitor motor. The motor is designed to have an extended service life with reduced energy consumption.
Double orifice technology is used to reduce noise. It also incorporates a thermal-cutoff for safety. The grille
covering the main body is a spring-loaded, quickremove type. A damper for preventing counterflow is provided.
