The use of any electric device requires compliance with a few fundamental rules, including:
- Never touch it with wet or humid hands.
- Never touch it when barefoot.
- Do not allow use by unsupervised children or disabled persons.
Do not use the unit in the presence of flammable substances or vapours such as alcohol, insecticides, gasoline, etc.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
Children shall not play with the appliance.
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
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 changes of any kind to the unit.
Do not leave the device exposed to adverse weather conditions (rain, sun, etc.).
Do not rest objects on the device.
Periodically check device conditions. If imperfections are noted, do not use the unit and immediately contact a Vortice authorised Technical Assistance Centre.
Promptly contact a Vortice authorised Assistance Centre in the event of unit malfunction and/or failure and request the use of original Vortice spare parts for any repairs.
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.
The device must suction in a single duct (used by this product only), or directly outside.
Never cover the two intake grilles and the device return duct, to ensure optimal air passage.
The maximum temperature for product operation is:
= 55°C for models 150-160-200-250-315
= 50°C for models 100-125-150Q
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.

Thermal protection devices:

Manual reset thermal protector
The following models are equipped with a manual reset thermal protector
If the thermal protector is triggered, please contact qualified personnel or Vortice authorised

Technical Assistance Centre.
If the problem persists after the reset operation, check the electrical system to which the unit is connected. In this case, please contact a Vortice authorised Technical Assistance Centre or professionally qualified personnel.
