Yes it's running correctly.

That model fan runs continuously at low speed and also has a boost for high speed.

It's ideal for preventing black spots of mould in a small bathroom.

The switch above the door is an isolator which is only for maintenance and should normally be left switched on.

Switch the fan to boost before having a shower.

Quite possibly the fan will continue to run for some minutes after it is switched off. This is quite normal.
