Where to locate the fan
● 4 mounting fasteners (use fasteners
suitable for wall type. Recommended
screw size for standard brick - No.8 x
38mm Pan Head).
● Locate it as high as possible.
● At least 145mm from edge of the wall/
window frame to the hole centre (see
Fig. A.).
● As far as possible from and opposite
to the main source of air replacement
to ensure airflow across the room
(eg, Opposite an internal doorway).
● Near the source of steam or odours.
● Not where ambient temperatures
are likely to exceed 50 degrees C.
● If installed in a kitchen, fans must
not be mounted immediately above
a cooker hob or eye level grill.
● If installing in a room containing a
fuel burning device, which has a
non balanced flue, it is the
installers responsibility to ensure
that there is enough replacement
air to prevent fumes being drawn
down the flue when the fan is
operating up to maximum extract.
Refer to Building Regulations for
specific requirements. Exhaust air
must not be discharged into a flue
used for exhausting fumes from
appliances supplied with energy
other than electric.
Requirements of all authorities
concerned must be observed for
exhaust air discharge and intake
flow rates.
