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.

This appliance is intended for domestic use and the

household environment only. The appliance is not

intended for use outside. Do not leave the appliance

unattended during operation. The manufacturer is not

liable for damage which is caused by improper use or

incorrect operation.

This appliance is intended for use up to a maximum

height of 2000 metres above sea level.

This appliance may be used by children over the age of

8 years old and by persons with reduced physical,

sensory or mental capabilities or by persons with a lack

of experience or knowledge if they are supervised or are

instructed by a person responsible for their safety how

to use the appliance safely and have understood the

associated hazards.

Children must not play with, on, or around the

appliance. Children must not clean the appliance or

carry out general maintenance unless they are at least

8 years old and are being supervised.

Keep children below the age of 8 years old at a safe

distance from the appliance and power cable.

Check the appliance for damage after unpacking it. Do

not connect the appliance if it has been damaged in

transport.

Only a licensed professional may connect appliances

without plugs. Damage caused by incorrect connection

is not covered under warranty.

This appliance is not intended for operation with an

external clock timer or a remote control.

Danger of suffocation!

Packaging material is dangerous to children. Never

allow children to play with packaging material.

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.
