great deal of heat. The ventilation appliance may become
damaged or catch fire. The ventilation appliance must only be
combined with gas burners that do not exceed the maximum
total output of 18 kW. If the total output exceeds 12 kW, the
local regulations regarding room ventilation, room size and
the combination of ventilation appliances with recirculation or
circulated air mode must be observed.
Risk of injury!
Components inside the appliance may have sharp edges.

required. Use only suitable tools and equipment.
Risk of electric shock!
Components inside the appliance may have sharp edges. These
may damage the connecting cable. Do not kink or pinch the
connecting cable during installation.
Danger of suffocation!
Packaging material is dangerous to children. Never allow
children to play with packaging material.
Risk of tipping!
The appliance is very narrow and can tip over easily. Do not set
the appliance on an uneven surface. Set the appliance flat on
the surface.

General information

Exhaust air mode
Note: The exhaust air must not be conveyed into a functioning
smoke or exhaust gas flue or into a shaft which is used to
ventilate installation rooms which contain heat-producing
appliances.
Before conveying the exhaust air into a non-functioning smoke
■
or exhaust gas flue, obtain the consent of the heating
engineer responsible.
If the exhaust air is conveyed through the outer wall, a
■
telescopic wall box should be used.
Exhaust duct
Note: The appliance manufacturer does not assume any
warranty for complaints attributable to the pipe section.
The appliance achieves its optimum performance by means of
■
a short, straight exhaust air pipe and as large a pipe diameter
as possible.
Because of long rough exhaust air pipes, many of which are
■
pipe bends or have diameters smaller than 150 mm, the
optimum extraction performance is not achieved and fan
noise is increased.
The pipes or hoses for laying the exhaust duct must consist of
■
non-combustible material.
Round pipes
An inner diameter of 150 mm, but at least 120 mm, is
recommended.
Flat ducts
The inner cross-section must correspond to the diameter of the
round pipes.
Ø 150 mm approx. 177 cm
Ø 120 mm approx. 113 cm
Flat ducts should have no sharp deflections.
■
Use sealing strip for deviating pipe diameters.
■
Electrical connection
: Risk of electric shock!
Components inside the appliance may have sharp edges. These
may damage the connecting cable. Do not kink or pinch the
connecting cable during installation.
Check the indoor installation before connecting the appliance.
Ensure that the indoor installation is sufficiently fused. The
voltage and frequency of the appliance must correspond to that
of the electrical installation (see rating plate).
The appliance corresponds to protection class I and must only
be operated with a protective earth connection.
An all-pole isolating switch with at least a 3 mm contact gap
must be fitted in the installation. The plug must still be
accessible after installation.
Only a qualified electrician who takes the appropriate
regulations into account may install or replace the connecting
cable.
If the power cord for the appliance becomes damaged, this
must be replaced with a special connecting cable that can be
obtained from the manufacturer or the manufacturer's customer
service department.

Appliance measurements (fig. 1)
Preparing the units (fig 2a)
The fitted unit must be heat-resistant up to 90 °C. The stability of
the fitted unit must also be guaranteed after the cut-out work.
Make the cut-out in accordance with the installation drawing.
The cut surface must be at a 90° angle to the work surface.
After making the cut-outs, remove any shavings. Seal any cut
surfaces to make them heat-resistant.
Ensure that there is a minimum clearance of at least 10 mm
from the underside of the appliance to the unit parts.
Use suitable base constructions to ensure load-carrying
capacity and stability, especially in the case of thin worktops.
Pay attention to the weight of the appliance, including any
payload. Reinforcement material used must be resistant to heat
and moisture.
Note: Wait until the appliance has been installed in the
installation opening before checking that it is level.
Flush installation (fig. 2b)
It is possible to install the appliance so that it is flush with the
work surface.
The appliance can be installed in the following temperature-
proof and waterproof work surfaces:
Stone worktops
■
Plastic work surfaces (e.g. Corian
■
Solid wood work surfaces: Only in agreement with the worktop
■
manufacturer (seal the cut-out edges)
For other materials, you must agree with the manufacturer of
■
the work surface regarding its use.
It is not possible to install the unit in compressed wood work
surfaces.
Note: All cut-outs on the work surface must be made in a
specialist workshop in accordance with the installation drawing.
The cut-out must be made cleanly and precisely because the
cut edge is visible on the surface. Clean and degrease the cut-
out edges with a suitable cleaning agent (observe the silicone
manufacturer's instructions).

Fitting the appliance

Prior to inserting the appliance into the worktop cut-out,
1.
remove the following transport safety features (Figure 3):
– Two panels on the front side of the appliance
– Two fixing screws on the underside of the appliance
Cover the holes on the underside of the appliance with the
locking caps.
Note: Keep the transport safety features in a safe place. Before
transporting the appliance (e.g. when moving house), refit the
transport safety features.
Push the appliance into the worktop cut-out from
2.
above (Fig. 4a).
Note: Make sure that the sealing tape on the underside of the
cover is not displaced.
For flush installation only: You must carry out a function
3.
test before grouting. Grout the circumferential gap using a
suitable, heat-resistant silicone adhesive (e. g. Novasil
Pactan ). Smooth the sealing joints using a manufacturer-
®
recommended smoothing agent. Observe the instructions for
the silicone adhesive. Only start up the appliance after the
silicone adhesive has completely dried (at least 24 hours,
depending on the room temperature).
Caution!
On natural stone work surfaces, unsuitable silicone adhesive
leads to permanent discolouration.
Insert the appliance evenly in the cut-out. From above, push it
4.
down firmly into the cut-out.
Notes
The appliance must be seated securely in the cut-out and
■
must not move (e.g. during cleaning). If the width of the cut-
out is at the upper end of the tolerance range, secure
battens to the sides of the cut-out, if required.
Remove both of the plastic parts from the left and right of
■
the cover (picture 4a).
Level the appliance in the cupboard. Ensure that the cover for
5.
the appliance plan lays flat on the work surface. Bend the lower
end of the mounting bracket by 90° at the perforation. Screw
the mounting bracket securely to the appliance using the
enclosed self-tapping screws and secure it to the base of the
unit (fig. 4b).
