insecticides, petrol, etc.)
• Take all necessary precautions to ensure that there
are no back flows of gas into the room from open-
flued combustion appliances.
• If the product is installed at a height less than 2.3
metres, fit a protection grille over the air outlet to
prevent access to the fan impeller (fig. 39).
• Do not make modifications of any kind to the appliance.

heavy blow, have it checked immediately by Vortice*.
• The appliance must be installed by a professionally
qualified electrician only.
• Ensure that the electrical system to which the
appliance is connected complies with applicable
standards.
• The appliance is double insulated and therefore
does not need to be earthed.
• Check that the electrical power supply/socket provides
the maximum electrical power required by the
appliance. If this is not the case, arrange for a qualified
electrician to make the necessary modifications.
• Use a multi-polar switch with minimum contact
gaps of 3 mm to install the appliance.

ventilation hoses (nominal Ø 100 mm). If the
adjuster ring is not used (fig. 7-B), the vent can be
fitted to rigid red PVC piping (nominal Ø 100 mm).
• Ensure that the room has an adequate source of fresh
air to ensure correct appliance operation. In the event
that other non-sealed combustion-based appliances
(such as water heater or gas stove) are installed in the
same room, check that air replacement is sufficient for
all appliances to work effectively together.
• Do not use the appliance to control activation of
water heaters, room heaters, etc., nor should it
discharge into the hot air flues of such appliances.

(i.e. free of grease, soot, chemical and corrosive
agents, explosive or flammable mixtures).
• Keep the appliance's intake and outlet grilles free to
ensure an optimum flow of air.

mesh filter. This can be cleaned by shaking, blowing,
or washing in water. Check the condition of the filter
and wash or replace it at least every 6 months of
operation (fig. 35-36).
N.B.
If the appliance is mounted on a wall which has
been tiled, a spacer is needed to eliminate any
