within the reach of children.
• As with any electrically-operated units you must
observe the following basic rules when handling
your product:
- do not touch it if your hands are wet or damp.
- do not touch it if you are barefoot
!
Precaution:
• Do not make any modifications of any kind to your
product.
• The appliance must not be exposed to atmospheric
conditions (rain, sun, etc.).
• The appliance must be installed by a professionally
qualified person.
• Perform periodic inspection on the unit to see that it
is free of visual defects. If any are found, do not
operate the unit and immediately contact Vortice.
• The electrical mains to which the unit is connected
must conform to current standards.
• Since the appliance is double insulated, it does not
need to be earthed.
• The electrical power source to which the product is
to be connected must be able to provide the
maximum amount of electrical power required by
the product. If it cannot do this, contact an
electrician for appropriate remedial action.
• When installing the appliance, a multipolar switch
must be used. The switch interpole distance must
be no less than 3 mm.
• The temperature of the air or fumes being extracted
must not contain any greasy substances, soot,
chemical agents, corrosive agents, or mixtures that
are explosive or inflammatory.

- do not let it be used by children.
• Do not operate the appliance in the presence of
inflammable vapours (alcohol, insecticides, petrol,
etc.).
• Take special precautions to ensure that there is no
spillage of flue gases from open-flued combustion
appliances.
• The appliance is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons without supervision.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
• The Vortice exhaust unit is designed for either
exhausting air directly to the outside or through
short ducting (max 4 mt.) exclusively connected to
the exhaust unit. Ducting with high back pressure
will reduce exhaust unit efficiency.
• Effective appliance operation requires adequate
room-air replenishment. Moreover, if there is also a
water heater, gas stove, etc. drawing its air for
combustion from the same room, room-air
replenishment must be increased to allow all
appliances to work effectively.
• Do not cover or obstruct the unit's air intake and
outlet grilles.
• The appliance must be installed so that its impeller is
out of reach on the outlet side (as determined by the
Standard Finger Test, Fig. A) in conformance with the
current safety regulations. If this is not possible, the
relevant protection accessory must be installed.
• Should the appliance be dropped or suffer a heavy
blow, have it checked immediately by a qualified
engineer.
• In case of poor exhaust unit performance or
malfunction, immediately contact a Vortice Service
Centre. If any parts need replacing, request the use
of original Vortice spare parts.
