Manufacturers instructions are usually nonsensical, inappropriate and unattainable; a bit like the serving suggestions on food packaging
Ha - of course 1363 is one better than 1362 - oopsHi - sorry to be a party pooper, but a BS1363 3A fuse is more sensitive to overload than a BS60898 6A mcb. For example, the 3A fuse will always melt at 6A but the mcb will never trip.

Might be nonsensical but as per The Wiring Regulations which in the UK we have to follow the manufacturers instructions supersede the Regulations and the greatest knowledge of all the electrician

I think you are missing the experience of what actually happens in practice.

PCB mounted fuse built into the fan would be the best solution
Sorry - that's not good enough for me to not follow Manufacturers Instructions. I still don't see why some people think the MCB will disconnect before the fuse.
