Clearances

1. Read the instructions fully before installing or 
using the appliance.

2. The installation must be carried out in 
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions 
by a competent person and comply with the 
relevant Building Regulations and the current 
I.E.E Wiring Regulations.

3. Duct systems should be installed in 
accordance with BRE Digest 398 and CIBSE 
guides.

4. Consideration must be given to the position 
of the ductwork connections, the electrical 
connection and the condensate pipe 
connection.

5. The exhaust duct must pass through an 
outside wall or roof and discharge to 
atmosphere in a suitable position. The clean air 
inlet duct must pass through an outside wall or 
roof and be suitably positioned to provide an 
adequate fresh air supply from atmosphere.

6. The ventilation for any open flued appliance 
must always be considered before siting the 
extract and inlet vents. The vents must also be 
sited away from other flue terminals, ventilators 
etc. on the outside of the dwelling. In addition, 
there shall be adequate ventilation of the kitchen 
when a cooker hood is used at the same time as 
appliances burning gas or other fuel. The 
exhaust air duct must not be discharged into a 
flue which is used for exhausting fumes from 
appliances burning gas or other fuels. Refer to 
the relevant current British Standard Codes of 
Practice, Part J of the Building Regulations 
(England and Wales) and, in Scotland, OFTEC 
Technical Information Sheet TI/112.

7. The LoWatt HR204 is not suitable for 
installation above any cooking appliance or with 
any extraction system servicing a cooking 
appliance.

8. If the unit is fitted in a room containing a bath 
or shower then reference should be made to the 
current I.E.E Wiring Regulations.

9. A flat vertical area 692mm high x 562mm wide 
is required for installation.

10. It is important that any door or cupboard 
front covering the LoWatt HR204 is easily 
removable by the user as access for regular 
cleaning is required.

11. Check that the information on the rating 
label is compatible with the supply. See Fig 2.

12. The addition of anything that may interfere 
with the normal operation of the appliance could 
invalidate the appliance warranty and infringe 
regulations.

Note: Clearances do not take into 
account any acoustic mat that may 
be fitted between the unit and the 
wall.
