How do the gravity flaps work?

The flaps open and close automatically based on airflow. When the fan is off, gravity closes the flaps, preventing backdraughts.

Troubleshooting

Flaps are not closing properly.

Check for obstructions (debris, insects) preventing the flaps from closing. Ensure the grille is mounted level.

Airflow seems restricted.

Inspect the vent cover and ducting for any blockages. Ensure the fan is running correctly.
