Congratulations!
You've just bought a Vortice unit that has an
advance design and excellent performance
characteristics.
This unit can solve all your problems regarding
getting rid of smoke, odors and humidity.
By connecting it to a duct, you can get rid
of the polluting by-products produced
in the kitchen.
If you mount your unit together with an exhaust
fan, you can send kitchen air-borne odors
and grease out through an air vent.
Please read this booklet with care before

Special warnings

• The appliance has been constructed in accordance
with good engineering practice in safety matters.
• The appliance must not be exposed to atmospheric
conditions (rain, sun, etc.).
• The various correct applications are shown in
Fig. A.
• Do not sit on the unit or rest objects either against
or on top of it.
• Do not immerse the appliance or any of its parts in
water (unless stated otherwise under "Cleaning").
• Do not operate the appliance in the presence of
inflammable vapours (alcohol, insecticides,
petrol etc.).
• Since the appliance is double insulated, it does not
need to be earthed.
• When installing the appliance, a multipolar switch
must be used. The switch interpole distance must
be no less than 3 mm.
• Make sure the intake and extract points are
unobstructed and can permit free airflow.
• 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.
• Your unit must either be mounted to a single duct
designed specifically for exhausting kitchen
combustion products, or so mounted so that it
exhausts directly to the outside.
• Try to keep inflammable substances (flambé) away
from the unit.
• Frying operations can be dangerous, so be careful
because released particles of oil and grease can
mix with the air and produce a highly combustible
mixture.
• Oil that has been already used can be particularly
inflammable. With electric stoves, always make
sure the grilles are covered.
• To avoid the risk of fire, follow the cleaning
instructions carefully and make sure all traces of
oil and grease are removed from the unit.
• Just use warm water and a neutral detergent for
cleaning the painted surfaces of your unit.
Never use any abrasives. The best thing to do is
use specialized products and follow the directions
given on the package.
• The butterfly valve must only be installed when
your particular country's safety norms make it
mandatory.
• The person who has the job of installing your unit
bears full responsibility for installing it correctly.
