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.

D. 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.
E. 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.
F. The Fan should be provided with a local isolator switch capable of disconnecting all poles, having a contact
separation of at least 3mm.
G. Ensure that the mains supply (Voltage, Frequency, and Phase) complies with the rating label.
H. The Fan should only be used in conjunction with the appropriate Vent-Axia products.

J. When the Fan is used to remove air from a room containing a fuel-burning appliance, ensure that the air
replacement is adequate for both the fan and the fuel-burning appliance.
K. Where ducted Fans are used to handle moisture-laden air, a condensation trap should be fitted. Horizontal
ducts should be arranged to slope slightly downwards away from the Fan.
L. This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
M. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
