• Excessive oil or a grease laden atmosphere.
• Corrosive or flammable gases, liquids or vapours.
• Ambient temperatures higher than 40°C or less than – 5°C.
• Possible obstructions which would hinder the access or removal of the Fan.

SAFETY AND GUIDANCE NOTES

• A. All wiring to be in accordance with the current I.E.E. Regulations, or the appropriate standards of your country and MUST be installed by a suitably qualified person.

• B. The Fan should be provided with a local isolator switch capable of disconnecting all poles, having a contact separation of at least 3mm.

• C. Ensure that the mains supply (Voltage, Frequency, and Phase) complies with the rating label.

• D. The electrical supply to this fan is 24V DC SELV from the transformer/controller. This means the fan may be installed within reach of a person using a fixed bath or shower, i.e. in a nearby wall.
  However, the fan must not be placed where it could be submerged in water or regularly exposed to direct water spray, e.g. from a shower head whether permanently fixed or movable.

• E. Only connect the products from the Lo-Carbon Tempra SELV range since the fans are specially designed to work on 24V DC and are not compatible with other Vent-Axia controllers. Do not connect more than one fan to the controller.

• F. The controller must not be installed in a shower cubicle or enclosure. It must be away from direct sources of water spray and out of reach of a person using a fixed bath or shower. Site away from direct sources of heat.

• G. The controller needs free air circulation and must not be covered with any insulating material such as might be in a ceiling or roof void.

• H. The Fan should only be used in conjunction with the appropriate Vent-Axia products.

• I. The fan should only be used in conjunction with fixed wiring.

• J. 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 a 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.

• K. The Fan should not be used where it is liable to be subject to direct water spray for prolonged periods of time.

• L. The horizontal duct should be arranged to slope slightly downwards away from the Fan.

• M. This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory and mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

• N. Children shall not play with the appliance.
