UK Help identify box in bedroom cupboard

[Gemash]

Help identify a box in bedroom with a switch and dial and a warning sign saying remove before switching on ventilator. Not to be used in a room containing a combustion appliance which is not room sealed.

Any chance of a photograph of it?

Something that needs adequate ventilation?
I’m thinking medical oxygen ???

Sounds like a social experiment...

It'll be an extract fan, maybe humidity controlled but photo needed to confirm.
If the remove statement is on the the warning sign then the sign should have been removed when the unit was fitted as it's only relevant when the fan was first fitted.

Every gas engineer knows that an open flued appliance cannot be fitted in the vicinity of an extract fan, whereas not every person who would fit an extract fan would know.

Unusual to see an extractor fan in a bedroom.

Not anymore - a lot of councils insist on them as part of a VMC system. They even put them in hallways and cupboards now.

And OP says "ventilator" not ventilation

Kind of essential here!

However, I get the same sort of question from friends & relatives on computer support where they ask me what is wrong and/or what does some icon mean and they seem to imagine I have a telepathic ability to see what they are looking at.

While such a super-power could be very useful in these cases, I shudder to think of what else I might get an eyeful of...

Give the OP a chance. He hasn’t been online again to post a photo…. Or to read the replies.

He’s maybe been standing in a queue in a London park for last 24 hours
