b) do not touch it while barefoot.
• This appliance is not suitable for use by children or

infirm persons after disconnecting it from the power
supply.
• Do not operate the appliance where inflammable
vapours or substances are present (alcohol,
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.
• Do not make modifications of any kind to the appliance.
• Do not expose the appliance to the weather (rain,
sun, etc.).
• Periodically inspect the appliance for damage.
If any faults are found, do not operate the appliance;

develops a fault, contact Vortice* immediately.
Ensure that only genuine original Vortice spares are
used for repairs.
• In the event that the appliance is dropped or suffers a
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.

must be configured by qualified professional
personnel.
• Switch off the appliance at the main switch:
a) if the appliance does not function correctly;

time.
• With the adjuster ring in place (fig. 7-A), the
appliance's outlet vent must be fitted to standard
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.
• Ensure that the appliance discharges into a single duct
(dedicated to this product) or directly to the outside.
• The air to be extracted from the room must be clean
(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.
• The appliance is fitted with a PUR (polyurethan)
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. 34-35).
N.B.
If the appliance is mounted on a wall which has
been tiled, a spacer is needed to eliminate any
misalignment and ensure correct functioning.
