Bosch 8 Series Instructions For Installation And Use Manual

Important safety information

(Important safety

information

Read these instructions carefully. Only then

will you be able to operate your appliance

safely and correctly. Retain the instruction

manual and installation instructions for future

use or for subsequent owners.

The appliance can only be used safely if it is

correctly installed according to the safety

instructions. The installer is responsible for

ensuring that the appliance works perfectly at

its installation location.

The width of the extractor hood must

correspond at least with the width of the hob.

For the installation, observe the currently valid

building regulations and the regulations of the

local electricity and gas suppliers.

When conveying the exhaust air, official and

legal regulations (e.g. state building

regulations) must be followed.

Warning

Risk of death!

Risk of poisoning from flue gases that are

drawn back in. The exhaust air must not be

conveyed into a functioning smoke or exhaust

gas flue or into a shaft which is used to

ventilate installation rooms that contain

heating appliances. If the exhaust air is to be

conveyed into a non-functioning smoke or

exhaust gas flue, you must obtain the consent

of the heating engineer responsible.

Warning

Danger of death!

Risk of poisoning from flue gases that are

drawn back in.

Always ensure adequate fresh air in the room

if the appliance is being operated in exhaust

air mode at the same time as room air-

dependent heat-producing appliance is being

operated.

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.

Warning

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.
