6. Put the fan on a timer. They work better when you run them longer AFTER you shower.

Too many people shut them off when they are done.

I have mine on a push button 10, 20, 40, 60 minute timer. I set it for 60 and then usually re set it for 60 when I'm done.

An added benefit is you won't accidentally leave the fan running for two weeks while you are on vacation and fry the thing. I read one guy claim he came home from vacation and his fan melted down on his tile floor before the breaker kicked.
