tractor is operated at the same time
as a fireplace, the pressure in the
room must be below 4 Pa (4 x 10-5
bar).
Important: If the mains cable is de-
fective, it must only be replaced by a
qualified electrician or our Custom-
er Care Department in order to pre-
vent hazards.

current.
•The electrical mains terminal is live.
•Make electrical mains terminal free of
voltage.
•Follow connection schematic.
