IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Mortal danger
Back-aspirated combustion gases can cause poisoning.
Always ensure sufficient fresh air when the appliance is
used in the air extraction mode at the same time as a
room air-dependent heat-producing appliance.
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).
In combination with an activated vapor extraction hood,
room air is extracted from the kitchen and neighboring
rooms, and a partial vacuum is produced if not enough
fresh air is supplied. Toxic gases from the chimney or
the extraction shaft are sucked back into the living
space.
‒
Adequate incoming air must therefore always be
ensured.
‒
An incoming/exhaust air wall box alone will not
ensure compliance with the limit.
Safe operation is possible only whenever the partial
vacuum in the place where the hearth is installed does
not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). 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.
In any case, consult your responsible chimney sweep.
He is able to assess the house's entire ventilation setup
and will suggest the suitable ventilation measures to
you.
Unrestricted operation is possible if the vapor extraction
hood is operated exclusively in the recirculation mode.

Electric Safety
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.
WARNING
WARNING
Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric
shock. Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord
is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet
near the appliance.
