7 Installation and start-up
7.1 Mounting location
•Install the unit in a dry, heated room with
a clearance of at least 25 cm to the near-
est wall.
•With temperatures below 15 °C (e.g. after
transport) let the unit rest for about 30
minutes at room temperature before
starting it up.
•Make sure the unit is standing on a tem-
perature resistant surface. The radiation
and heat development is within a harm-
less range. However, it cannot be com-
pletely ruled out that sensitive furniture
surfaces and veneers will show slight
discoloration caused by the permanent
exposure to heat over the course of time.
•Avoid exposure to direct sunlight.
•Do not place any inflammable objects
near the unit.
•Do not place the control unit into the di-
rect heat emission range of the firing
chamber.
