-
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 into 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 (except model PIR). 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.
