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 suitable ventilation measures to you.

Risk of poisoning from flue gases being drawn back in.

• Do not emit the exhaust air into 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 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 pro-duction 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 appli-ance 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 over-voltage category III and according to the installa-tion 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.

An ingress of moisture may cause an electric shock.

• Ensure that the plug connections for the electric cable are located within the building.
• Ensure that the fixing plate is sealed onto the outside wall using suitable material.

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.
