Bathroom fan extractor . Leave switch on , or not?

Howdy!

An easy question really . I noticed that if I leave fan running , it switches itself off a few minutes once I’ve turned the bathroom light off. What I normally do, is turn on the switch just before I have a shower ,and turn it off when I finished my business .

Is it best to carry on the same way ?

Thanks

no definitley do not turn it off

the switch your turning off is only there as a maintenance isolator

fans should run anything upto 20 minutes after you using the shower to get rid of the moisture in the room

Check what sort it is, should be either timer or humidity.

Both are adjustable, if you find you need to increase the overrun.

Thanks for that. I have no idea. The bathroom ( and kitchen) has no window. I bought a dehumidifier 2weeks ago so hopefully all should be well now .
