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 air through an exhaust gas system (e.g.
a chimney).
In combination with an activated vapour
extractor hood, room air is extracted from the
kitchen and neighbouring rooms - 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 when the partial
vacuum in the place where the heat-producing
appliance is installed does not exceed 4 Pa
(0.04 mbar). This can be achieved when 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 Master
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 vapour
extractor hood is operated exclusively in the
circulating-air mode.
Danger of death!
Risk of poisoning from flue gases that are drawn
back in. If installing a ventilation system in a
room with a heat-producing appliance
connected to a chimney/flue, the electricity
supply to the hood must be equipped with a
suitable safety switch.
Risk of fire!
Grease deposits in the grease filter may catch
fire. The specified safety distances must be
observed in order to prevent an accumulation of
heat. Observe the specifications for your
cooking appliance. If gas and electric hobs are
operated together, the largest specified
distance applies.
Only one side of the appliance may be installed
directly next to a high-sided unit or a wall. The
distance between the appliance and wall or
high-sided unit must be at least 50 mm.
Risk of injury!
Components inside the appliance may have
▯
sharp edges. Wear protective gloves.
Risk of injury!
The appliance may fall down if it has not
▯
been properly fastened in place. All
fastening components must be fixed firmly
and securely.
Risk of injury!
The appliance is heavy. To move the
▯
appliance, 2 people are required. Use only
suitable tools and equipment.
Risk of electric shock!
Components inside the appliance may have
sharp edges. These may damage the
connecting cable. Do not kink or pinch the
connecting cable during installation.
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 which has been
correctly installed. If the plug is no longer
accessible following installation of the
appliance, or a fixed connection is required, an
all-pole isolating switch must be present on the
installation side with a contact gap of at least 3
mm. The fixed connection must only be installed
by an electrician.
Danger of suffocation!
Packaging material is dangerous to children.
Never allow children to play with packaging
material.
