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.
:Warning
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. 
:Warning
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.
:Warning
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.
:Warning
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.
:Warning
Danger of suffocation!
Packaging material is dangerous to children. 
Never allow children to play with packaging 
material.
