VENTING THE HOUSING
To allow an air loop inside the appliances location, it is necessary to have an air entrance vent hole (position A)
below the appliance and another vent above the appliance. (position B)
The intake vent (A) air can be drawn in from the room in which the appliance is installed, or directly from outside.
Obviously, air directly from outside will tend to be cooler.
To ensure the correct and safe operation of the appliance, when building the housing in which the appliance will
be located, it is necessary to respect the clearances between the insert and the inner walls of the housing.
Considering the measurements given in the technical specifications, you need to account for at least 60 mm of air
space above, behind and on the two sides of the appliance.
It is critical that the chamber in which the appliance is located is well ventilated with ENTRY & EXIT vents.
There is a requirement for a 60mm gap down each side, behind and above the appliance. This will allow
the chamber to breath and prevent the build-up of hot air that could cause damage to the housing.

The gap generated between the top edge of the appliance and the housing will be less.
The minimum recommended distance here is 5mm.
The void behind the appliance, down each side and above it will be 60mm, as shown in the diagram above.
