Warning: t his symbol indicates precautions that must be taken to avoid injury

• Do not use this appliance for functions other than those described in this instruction booklet.
• After removing the appliance from its packaging, ensure that it is complete and undamaged. If in doubt contact a professionally qualified electrician or Vortice*. Do not leave packaging within the reach of children or infirm persons.
• Certain fundamental rules must be observed when using any electrical appliance: a) never touch appliances with wet or damp hands; b) never touch appliances while barefoot.

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

• Do not make modifications of any kind to this appliance.
• Do not expose this appliance to the weather (rain, sun, etc.)
• Regularly inspect the appliance for visible defects. If any faults are found, do not operate the appliance but contact Vortice* immediately.
• If the appliance does not function correctly or develops a fault, contact Vortice* immediately and ensure that only genuine original Vortice spares areused for any repairs.
• Should the appliance be dropped or suffer a heavy blow, have it checked immediately by Vortice*.
• The appliance is double insulated and therefore does not need to be earthed.
• The electrical power supply/socket to which the appliance is to be connected must be able to provide the maximum electrical power required by the appliance. Otherwise, contact an electrician to make the necessary modifications before proceeding.
• Switch off the appliance at the installation’s main switch: a) if the appliance does not function correctly; b) before cleaning the outside of the appliance; c) if the appliance is not to be used for any length of time.
• Connections not provided for by Vortice. In this configuration the appliance runs continuously (fig. 11A/1). In this configuration, the appliance starts and stops automatically depending on the humidity level in the room in which it is located. Manual over-ride is not possible (fig. 11A/2).
• The room must have an adequate source of replacement air for this appliance to function effectively. Moreover, if there is any non-sealed combustion based appliance such as a water heater, gas stove, etc. in the same room, air replacement must be sufficient for all appliances to work effectively together.
• The appliance must either exhaust directly to the outside or into a short duct (max 400 mm in length to ensure certified performance). Efficiency losses will occur if the appliance is installed in ducting subject to any appreciable back pressure.
• The appliance cannot be used to control the activation of water heaters, room heaters, etc. nor must it be connected to the hot air ducts used by other appliances.
• The air to be extracted from the room must be clean (i.e. free of grease, soot, chemical and corrosive agents, and explosive or flammable mixtures) and must not exceed a temperature of 50°C (122°F).
• Keep the appliance’s inlet and outlet grilles free to ensure an optimum flow of air.
• Install the appliance so that the impeller is inaccessible from the air outlet side as verified by contact with the Test Finger, in compliance with the current safety regulations. If this is not possible, the relevant protection accessory must be installed.
• The appliance must be installed by a professionally qualified electrician.
• The electrical system to which the product is connected must be in compliance with applicable regulations.
• 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 single-phase 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.

Duct and window-wall fan units
Precautions must be taken to prevent gas coming from the gas flue pipe or from other fuel combustion units from entering the room.

Window-wall fan units
Fans have been designed to be mounted on windows or external walls.

N.B.
If the appliance is installed across a wall and wall tiling, to ensure correct operation a spacer must be fitted to compensate for any differences in the surface levels.

The appliance can also be installed on a ceiling. For ceiling mounting a special gasket contained in a kit to be ordered separately must be used in order to maintain a protection rating of IPX4. Do not install the appliance on a ceiling without first inserting the relevant gasket.
