Safe installation
Follow these safety instructions when installing the appliance.
WARNING ‒ Risk of poisoning!
Risk of poisoning from flue gases being drawn back in. Room-air-dependent
heat-producing appliances (e.g. gas, oil, wood or coal-operated heaters,
continuous flow heaters or water heaters) obtain combustion air from the room
in which they are installed and discharge the exhaust gases into the open
through an exhaust gas system (e.g. a chimney).
With the extractor hood switched on, air is extracted from the kitchen and the
adjacent rooms. Without an adequate supply of air, the air pressure falls
below atmospheric pressure. Toxic gases from the flue or the extraction shaft
are sucked back into the living space.
▶ Always ensure adequate fresh air in the room if the appliance is being
operated in exhaust air mode at the same time as a room-air-dependent heat-
producing appliance is being operated.
▶ It is only possible to safely operate the appliance if the pressure in the
room in which the heating appliance is installed does not drop more than 4 Pa
(0.04 mbar) below atmospheric pressure. This can be achieved whenever the air
needed for combustion is able to enter through openings that cannot be sealed,
for example in doors, windows, incoming/exhaust air wall boxes or by other
technical means. An incoming/exhaust air wall box alone does not ensure
compliance with the limit.
▶ In any case, consult your responsible chimney sweep. They are able to assess
the house’s entire ventilation setup and will suggest the suitable ventilation
measures to you.
Risk of poisoning from flue gases being drawn back in.
▶ Do not emit the exhaust air into a smoke or exhaust gas flue that is in
operation.
▶ Do not emit the exhaust air into a shaft that is used to ventilate
installation rooms for heat-producing appliances.
▶ If the exhaust air is to be conveyed into a smoke or exhaust gas flue, you
must obtain the consent of the heating engineer responsible. Risk of poisoning
from flue gases being drawn back in.
▶ If an extractor hood with an open-flued heat production source is installed,
the power supply for the extractor hood must be provided with a suitable
safety switch.
WARNING ‒ Risk of suffocation!
Children may put packaging material over their heads or wrap themselves up in
it and suffocate.
▶ Keep packaging material away from children.
▶ Do not let children play with packaging material.
WARNING ‒ Risk of electric shock!
It must always be possible to disconnect the appliance from the electricity
supply. The appliance must only be connected to a protective contact socket
that has been correctly installed.
▶ The mains plug for the mains power cable must be easily accessible after the
appliance is installed.
▶ If this is not possible, an all-pole isolating switch must be integrated
into the permanent electrical installation according to the conditions of
overvoltage category III and according to the installation regulations.
▶ The permanent electrical installation must only be wired by a professional
electrician. We recommend installing a residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB)
in the appliance’s power supply circuit.
WARNING ‒ Risk of injury!
Changes to the electrical or mechanical assembly are dangerous and may lead to
malfunctions.
▶ Do not make any changes to the electrical or mechanical assembly. Components
inside the appliance may have sharp edges.
▶ Wear protective gloves.
