Installation location
A dry, well ventilated room is suitable as an
installation location. The installation loca-

a heat source is unavoidable, use a suitable
insulating plate or observe the following
minimum distances from the heat source:
• 3 cm to electric or gas cookers.

The floor of the installation location must
not give way; if required, reinforce floor. If
the floor is uneven, compensate with sup-
ports.
Distance from wall
