WARNING
Mortal danger
Back-aspirated combustion gases can cause
poisoning.
Always ensure sufficient fresh air when the appliance
is used in the air extraction mode at the same time as
a room air-dependent heat-producing appliance.
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 through an
exhaust gas system (e.g. a chimney).
In combination with an activated vapor extraction
hood, room air is extracted from the kitchen and
neighboring rooms, and 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 whenever the partial
vacuum in the place where the hearth is installed does
not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). 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.
In any case, consult your responsible chimney sweep.
He is able to assess the house's entire ventilation
setup and will suggest the suitable ventilation
measures to you.
Unrestricted operation is possible if the vapor
extraction hood is operated exclusively in the
recirculation mode.
Appliance Handling Safety
Hidden surfaces may have sharp edges. Use caution
when reaching behind or under appliance.

Electric Safety
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.
WARNING
WARNING
Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric
shock. Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if
doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded. Do not use an extension cord. If the power
supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician
install an outlet near the appliance.
