free supply air cross section of at least
150 cm²,

grille MLK.
● Sufficient supply air intake must be en-
sured during operation with air-ventilated
fireplaces. The maximum permitted
pressure difference per living unit is 4 Pa.
● VZ, F, KVZ and KF units: Resistance to
interference according to EN 55014-2
depending on pulse shape and energy
component 1000 to 4000 V. If operating
with fluorescent tubes, extra interference
suppression measures are needed (L or
C components or RC modules, protection
