• 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.
