WARNING

Installation and wiring must be carried out by qualified electrician and in accordance with New Zealand Electrical standards.
This fan is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Do not touch the fan with wet or humid parts of the body (ie. Hands)
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
If the power cord is damaged, the cord must be replaced by a qualified electrician in order to avoid a hazard.
Fan should be installed more than 2.1m above ground.
Do not reduce diameter of ducting from the outlet of the fan.
Ensure there are no bends in the ductwork within 200mm of the fan. Placing a bend within this distance will significantly restrict fan performance and may prevent back draft dampers from opening.
Keep duct work as straight as possible. Avoid sharp bends within 200mm of fan outlet
Avoid placing any pressure on fan wheel during installation and cleaning.
If unusual oscillating movement is observed, immediately stop using the fan and contact the manufacturer, it’s service agent or suitably qualified persons.
Exhaust fans may adversely affect the safe operation of appliances burning gas or other fuels (including those in other rooms) due to back flow of combustion gases. These gases can potentially result in carbon monoxide poisoning. After installation of an exhaust fan such as a partition fan or duct fan the operation of flued gas appliances should be tested by a competent person to ensure that back flow of combustion gases does not occur.

MAINTENANCE/CLEANING

Before cleaning the fan, ensure it is disconnected from mains power. Cleaning of the fan should be undertaken when there is significant build-up of dust visible on the intake of the diffuser or propeller.

Failure to maintain the fan may shorten the working life of the fan.
