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.
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.
