● 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 |

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. |

chemical corrosive atmospheres, |
consult our technical service |
department. (For overseas markets |
contact your local Xpelair |
