An extractor fan may only be used in the same room as this appliance, or in any
area from which ventilation for the appliance is taken, if it does not affect the safe
performance of the appliance. Note the spillage test requirements detailed further on in
this manual. If the fan is likely to affect the appliance, the appliance must not be
installed unless the fan is permanently disconnected, or provision is made to ensure that
the fan and the appliance cannot be used at the same time.
A fan-powered flue system tends to depressurise the room containing the appliance.
