Precautions must be taken to prevent gas coming from the gas flue pipe or from other fuel combustion units from entering into the room.
Products installed without a protective device for moving parts must be installed at a height greater than 2.3 m above the floor level.
Units equipped with manual reset thermal breaker device In order to avoid any danger of accidental reset of the thermal breaker device, units must not be powered by an external switch device such as a timer, or must not be connected to a circuit that is regularly powered or disconnected from power utilities.

Caution: this symbol indicates that care must be taken to avoid damaging the appliance.

Do not make modifications of any kind to this appliance.

If the unit falls or receives a strong blow, immediately have it inspected at a Vortice authorised Technical Assistance Centre.
Only connect the device to the mains supply/ electrical outlet if plant/outlet capacity is suitable for its maximum power. If otherwise, immediately seek assistance from a professionally qualified person.
Switch off the main switch on the system when: a) a malfunction is detected, b) you decide to perform external cleaning maintenance, c) when you decide not to use the device for prolonged periods.
It is essential to ensure that sufficient air re-enters the room, in order to guarantee product operation. If a combustion-powered, non air-tight device is installed in the room (water heater, methane stove, etc.), please ensure that air re-entry also guarantees the perfect combustion of said device.
The unit cannot be used as an activator for water heaters, stoves, etc. nor should it discharge into hot air ducts.
Never cover the two intake grilles and the device return duct, to ensure optimal air passage.
The unit does not need to be connected to an earthing system as it has been built in double isolation.
The device must discharge in a single duct (used by this product only).
The product delivery point must always be connected to a duct.
Maximum room temperature for unit operation is 55°C.
The electrical specifications correspond to the ones on the data label A (fig.A).
An omnipolar switch with a contact opening distance of 3 mm or higher should be provided for installation, enabling complete disconnection under overvoltage category III conditions.
Products equipped with singlephase wiring (M) engines ALWAYS require connection to 220-240V (or only 230V where required) single-phase lines. Any kind of modification shall be considered as product tampering and shall nullify the relative warranty.
No specific adjustment is necessary as the devices operate at nominal frequencies without a preliminary setting.
