Description

The device can be used to extract and clean cooking vapours.

The device is able to operate in various operating modes:

• Recirculated air mode

• Air extraction mode

• Hybrid mode

The individual operating modes are described in the following sections.

Recirculated air mode

The device intakes room air, filters the room air and returns the cleaned room air into the room. Cleaning is carried out in several cleaning stages. The first cleaning stage removes e.g. grease and air particles from the intaken room air. The next cleaning stage filters light, flying particles (e.g. fluff) from the intaken room air. The filter filling in the recirculating air filter neutralises existing odour contents. The odour-free, cleaned room air is returned into the room.

The filter filling must be replaced at regular intervals.

Air extraction mode

The device intakes room air, filters the room air and conducts the cleaned room air outside. Cleaning is carried out in several cleaning stages. The first cleaning stage removes e.g. grease and air particles from the intaken room air. The next cleaning stage filters light, flying particles (e.g. fluff) from the intaken room air. The cleaned room air is conducted into the open air.

Page 10

Description

Hybrid mode

The device intakes room air, filters the room air and conducts part of the cleaned room air outside. The remaining part of the intaken air is conducted back into the room via the hybrid filter. Cleaning is carried out in several cleaning stages. The first cleaning stage removes e.g. grease and air particles from all

of the intaken room air. The next cleaning stage filters light, flying particles (e.g. fluff) from all of the intaken room air. Whilst part of the cleaned room air is conducted outside, the filter filling in the hybrid filter neutralises odour contents which are present in the remainder of the intaken room air. This odourfree, cleaned room air is returned into the room.

The filter filling must be replaced at regular intervals.

Air extraction mode

DANGER

Danger of suffocation due to a lack of oxygen on simultaneous operation of the device and an open fireplace.

¾ On simultaneous operation with

devices which are dependent on the room air, such as e.g. a gas cooker, chimney or gas heater, make sure that no gases or exhaust gases are drawn into the room.

¾ Ensure an adequate fresh air supply

in the dwelling.

¾ Make sure that the legally prescribed

requirements of your Federal state's regulations pertaining to fireplaces (FeuV)) are adhered to.

¾ Make sure that the permit required

from the master chimney sweep to operate the extractor hood is available.

Measures for an adequate fresh air supply:

• Operate the device only with a window contact

switch connected.

• Open the windows.

• Open the doors.

• Install a berbel wall box BMK.

• Make sure that the open fireplace's prescribed

forced ventilation functions.

WARNING

Danger of suffocation due to a lack of oxygen on operation of the device.

¾ Ensure an adequate fresh air supply

in the dwelling.

¾ Make sure that the device is

connected to a window contact switch to ensure hazard-free operation.

¾ Make sure that the country-specific,

legally prescribed regulations (in Germany e.g. the requirements of your Federal state's regulations pertaining to fireplaces (FeuV)) are adhered to.

If an extractor hood and a fireplace which is dependent on the room air (e.g. gas-, oil- or coalfired heaters, chimneys, hot water boilers, gas hobs or gas ovens) are operated at the same time, the following prerequisites must be met:

¾ Your master chimney sweep has approved the

installation of the extractor hood beforehand.

¾ Installation must be carried out under adherence

to the country-specific regulations (e.g. the regulations pertaining to fireplaces (FeuV)).

¾ Installation must be carried out under adherence

to the official and legal regulations (e.g. state building ordinances).

In air extraction mode, the device intakes room air and conducts it outside via the outgoing air line.

The device is only able to conduct the volume of air away which flows into the kitchen as supply air.

The cross-section, length, type and routing of the outgoing air line extensively influence the extraction efficiency of an extractor hood.

Power losses and noises arise e.g. due to air which is diverted abruptly in the outgoing air line.

Page 57

Air extraction mode

The device's optimal output is obtained if, when installing the outgoing air line, you ensure that:

• the outgoing air line is as short and direct as possible

• the transported room air is able to flow through the outgoing air line without vortices and back pressure

• the prescribed outgoing air line cross-section is adhered to

• the recommended characteristics of the outgoing air line are adhered to throughout.

The following section explains which requirements and characteristics the outgoing air line has to meet.

Outgoing air in the separate outgoing air duct

DANGER

Danger of suffocation due to smoke or exhaust gases.

¾ Make sure that the outgoing air duct

which is used is exclusively intended for operating an extractor hood.

¾ Make sure that the outgoing air duct

is only used by this device. On connection of the device to an active outgoing air duct, such as e.g. a ventilation shaft or chimney, gases or exhaust gases may be drawn into the room.

DANGER

Fire hazard due to combustible outgoing air line.

If combustible outgoing air lines are routed through a second room or attic, fire may spread to other rooms.

¾ Make sure that the outgoing air line

consists of non-combustible material in accordance with DIN 4102 Class A1.

The extracted room air must only be conducted outside via a separate outgoing air duct intended for this purpose.

¾ Make sure that the outgoing air duct which is used

is only used as an outgoing air line by the device.

Optimising the outgoing air line

Conducting the room air away directly

Conduct the extracted room air outside directly and over the shortest route. Long routes generate additional, undesired air resistance.

¾ Make sure that the outgoing air line which leads

outside is as direct and short as possible.

Using pipes with low air resistance

Exclusively use pipes with a smooth inner surface. These pipes offer low air resistance.

Avoid the installation of:

• Spiral hoses

• Flexible pipes

• Flat diverters.

These types of pipe have high air resistance and reduce the extractor hood's output.

Page 58

Air extraction mode

¾ Make sure that the outgoing air line has a smooth

inner surface.

Exclusively use bends with optimised air ducting and a smooth inner surface. These bends offer low air resistance.

Avoid the installation of bends with sharp-edged air ducting.

These bends have high air resistance and generate noises. These bends reduce the extractor hood's output.

¾ Make sure that bends in the outgoing air line have

a smooth inner surface and that air ducting is optimised.

Using the most favourable cross-section

The minimum outgoing air line cross-section is 125 mm in the case of 125 mm systems (BEH 60 N and BEH 60 O) and 150 mm in the case of 150 mm systems (all other berbel extractor hoods).

Each reduction of the outgoing air line generates undesired air resistance, reduces output and causes noises.

Avoid:

• Outgoing air lines with small diameters

• Sharp-edged flat outgoing air ducts

• Conventional wall boxes

These have high air resistance and generate noises. They reduce the extractor hood's output.

¾ Make sure that the outgoing air line's minimum

cross-section is not less than the cross-section of the fan outlet.

Outgoing air line through the old chimney

DANGER

Danger of suffocation due to smoke or exhaust gases.

¾ A master chimney sweep must

approve the chimney as an outgoing air line prior to the installation of the extractor hood.

DANGER

Fire hazard due to combustible outgoing air line.

If combustible outgoing air lines are routed through a second room or attic, fire may spread to other rooms.

¾ Make sure that the outgoing air line

consists of non-combustible material in accordance with DIN 4102 Class A1.

If you use a chimney as an outgoing air line, increased air resistance must be anticipated depending on the length of the chimney.

The extracted air must be introduced into the chimney using a bend which is bent upwards at an angle of 90°. This avoids any possible back pressure.

Page 59

Air extraction mode

¾ Make sure that the connection in the chimney is

carried out using a bend which is bent upwards at an angle of 90°.

Outgoing air line through the roof

DANGER

Fire hazard due to combustible outgoing air line.

If combustible outgoing air lines are routed through a second room or attic, fire may spread to other rooms.

¾ Make sure that the outgoing air line

consists of non-combustible material in accordance with DIN 4102 Class A1.

ATTENTION

Water damage to the device due to the absence of a moisture condensate collector.

¾ Install a moisture condensate

collector in the outgoing air line.

If the outgoing air line is routed through the roof, you must ensure that:

• the cross-section of the roof passage is no less

than that of the fan outlet

• the roof passage does not reduce the cross- section of the outgoing air line

• a moisture condensate collector is integrated into the outgoing air line.

Outgoing air line through an exterior wall

DANGER

Fire hazard due to combustible outgoing air line.

If combustible outgoing air lines are routed through a second room or attic, fire may spread to other rooms.

¾ Make sure that the outgoing air line

consists of non-combustible material in accordance with DIN 4102 Class A1.

If the outgoing air line is routed through the exterior wall, you must ensure that:

• the cross-section of the outgoing air line is no less than that of the fan outlet

• the wall passage does not reduce the cross- section of the outgoing air line.

The wall box must meet the following requirements:

• The cross-section of the fan outlet must not be reduced in the wall box.

• The louvered cover of the wall box must ventilate over a wide area.

Page 60

Air extraction mode

Make sure that

• the slats of the louvered cover of the wall box are

not narrow and thick

• the slats of the louvered cover of the wall box are not positioned sharply downwards.

• no insect screen is installed in the wall box. Insect screens impair the cross-section of the outgoing air line completely.

¾ Use only flow-optimised wall boxes (e.g. BMK-

F/L).

Page 61

Installing the device

WARNING

Risk of injury due to falling parts.

¾ Make sure that nobody is standing
