Removal of roof vent fly screen (1 Viewer)

[Robert Clark]

Hi Guys
Have got an electric roof vent/fan winch appears to have a removable fly screen (see hand grip at top / centre of pic)

However I can’t seem to pull it off.
Don’t want to pull too hard in case I break it.

Anyone got a similar model?

Maybe @sallylillian

Thanks

It does just pull off Robert

Might be worth turning the heating on first if it isn't already. Plastic likes to be warm if you want it bendy.

We’ve got one too. Just pull it Robert. Ralph takes it off to hoover/clean it every now and again.

We have the same Fantastic-vent Robert and yes it does just pull off but it is tight.

You need to apply a push/pull action at the protruding lip bit, once that gives, work you way around the whole screen.

Beat me to it. Yours is cleaner than ours!

Sorry Robert missed this!! But you have already found out, just a small point on refitting, the lip that is designed to enable unclipping can be tricky to get a finger under if it is placed in a position which is obstructed by one of the knobs, so bare that in mind when refitting. I also have a mesh on the outside which is removed by 4 screws whilst on the roof, but maybe that is because I have a reversing fan?
We use ours a lot in the summer in preference to the AC and find they can need regular cleaning in dusty environments, hot soapy water and a small brush works but be careful as the mesh is not held particularly well.
