4 Installation
 Observe all safety and warning information (see the
Safety chapter).
 Follow the enclosed manufacturer’s information.
4.1 General installation information
INFO The appliances must not be installed above
cooling devices, dishwashers, stoves, ovens,
washing machines or dryers.
INFO The contact surfaces of the worktops and wall
sealing strips must be made of a heat-resistant
material (up to approx. 100 °C).
INFO Worktop cut-outs must be moisture-sealed using
suitable means and, where necessary, fitted with
a thermal insulator.
INFO External devices may only be connected to the
cooktop extractor connections provided.
INFO Extremely bright lights aimed directly at the
appliances can cause colour variations in the
appliances and are thus to be avoided.
General installation information for cooktops
INFO To ensure that the cooktops perform optimally at all
times, there must be sufficient ventilation beneath
the cooktops.
INFO The performance of the cooktops is affected or
the cooktops overheat if the warm air beneath the
cooktops cannot escape.
INFO If a cooktop overheats, the power is automatically
reduced or the cooktop is switched off completely
(see Overheating protection).
INFO If cable protection (false floor) is planned beneath
the appliance, this must be fitted so it does not
obstruct ventilation.
 Make sure that the area below the cooktop has a
sufficient air supply.
4.1.1 Operating the cooktop extractor with
a fireplace that depends on the air in
the room
INFO The state and regional laws and regulations must
be observed with regard to the exhaust duct
design.
INFO A sufficient air supply must be ensured.
Fireplaces that depend on the air in the room (e.g. gas,
oil, wood or coal-fired heaters, continuous-flow water
heaters, instantaneous water heaters) draw in air from
the room in which they are installed and release the
exhaust fumes into the outside air via an exhaust system
(e.g. chimney).
If the cooktop extractor is used in exhaust mode, it draws
in air from the room in which it is installed as well as from
neighbouring rooms. Without sufficient air, there will be
a drop in air pressure. Toxic gases could be drawn out
of the chimney or extraction ducting and back into the
room.
Fig. 4.1 Exhaust air installation – not permitted
Fig. 4.2 Exhaust air installation – correct
 If simultaneously operating both a fireplace and the
cooktop extractor in the same room, ensure that:

the maximum low pressure is 4 Pa (4 x 10-5 bar);

a safety device (e.g. window contact switch, low
pressure warning device) is used to ensure that a
sufficient supply of fresh air is guaranteed;

the exhaust air is not be ducted into a chimney that
is used for exhaust gases of devices operated with
gas or other combustibles;

the installation is checked and approved by an
authorised certified engineer (e.g. heating
engineer).
INFO No window contact switches may be installed that
separate the control unit from the power supply
(phase separation). Only the Home In interface is
to be used.
4.2 Checking the delivery
 Make sure the delivery is complete and check it for
damage.
 If there are any missing or damaged parts, please
notify BORA After Sales Service.
