16.3 Safety clearances
Comply with the safety clearances for the appliance.
For Australia and New Zealand the minimum safety
clearance above electrical cooktops must be 600 mm.
16.4 Secure installation
Follow these safety instructions when in-
stalling the appliance.
WARNING ‒ Risk of poisoning!
Risk of poisoning from flue gases being
drawn back in. Room-air-dependent heat-pro-
ducing 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 dis-
charge the exhaust gases into the open
through an exhaust gas system (e.g. a chim-
ney). With the extractor hood switched on, air
is extracted from the kitchen and the adjacent
rooms. Without an adequate supply of air, the
air pressure falls below atmospheric pressure.
Toxic gases from the flue or the extraction
shaft are sucked back into the living space.
▶
Always ensure adequate fresh air in the
room if the appliance is being operated in
exhaust air mode at the same time as a
room-air-dependent heat-producing appli-
ance is being operated.
▶
It is only possible to safely operate the ap-
pliance if the pressure in the room in which
the heating appliance is installed does not
drop more than 4 Pa (0.04 mbar) below at-
mospheric pressure. This can be achieved
whenever 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. An incoming/ex-
haust air wall box alone does not ensure
compliance with the limit.
▶
In any case, consult your responsible chim-
ney sweep. They are able to assess the
house's entire ventilation setup and will
suggest the suitable ventilation measures
to you.
▶
Unrestricted operation is possible if the ap-
pliance is operated exclusively in circulat-
ing-air mode.
