Safety instructions for installation
If the clearance between the periphery
of the electric element and
- the side wall is less than 300 mm
- the rear wall is less than 200 mm, the
walls must be protected with a
non-combustible material.
The protection must be extended a
minimum distance of 150 mm above
the electric element. The shown area
