[QUOTE="Mr Sworld, post: 13413, member: 184"] Hello Skittles. :) To answer you first question, no, you cannot use a wall switch in a bathroom. The switch in the instructions may well be a three-pole isolation switch. The reason being that if you need to work on the fan there will be a live and a neutral supply to power the fan and a 'switch live' from the bathroom pull-cord to turn the fan on when the light is turned on. Is the fan a Wicks model or is it another manufacturer? [/QUOTE]
