WARNING:

The applicable regulations of the energy supply companies and the regional construction regulations must be observed when installing the hood.

Minimum distance between electric cooktop and bottom edge of hood: 18 1/2” (47 cm)

Minimum distance on gas cooktops between the upper edge of the grate and lower edge of the hood: 26” (65 cm)

Connection possibilities

The wall hood was conceived for the exhaust air or air recirculation mode. The exhaust air can be

routed into a separate exhaust air shaft or directly into the open through the outside wall.

It is not allowed to pass the exhaust air into a flue or exhaust air chimney that is in operation or into a shaft that is linked to the heating basement. Consult the chimney sweep responsible for your district whenever you wish to pass the exhaust air into a chimney that is not in operation.

During the course of planning, a chimney sweep must be consulted if a room air-dependent hearth is operated in the same room as the one in which a hood is operated in the exhaust air mode. Adequate incoming air must be ensured. The applicable construction and safety regulations must be observed.

Adequate incoming air must be ensured if a wood, coal, gas or oil heater or an open hearth is operated in the same room as the one in which the hood is installed.

Grounding Instructions

The appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING – IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.

Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance.
