WARNING

WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

‒Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including firerated construction.

‒Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

‒When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

‒Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

WARNING

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

WARNING

Risk of fire

Grease deposits in the grease filter can catch fire. Never work with a naked flame near the appliance (e.g. flambéing). Install the unit near a heat-producing appliance for solid fuels (e.g. wood or coal) only if there is a closed, non-detachable cover. There must be no flying sparks.

WARNING

Risk of fire

Operating several gas burners at the same time gives rise to a great deal of heat. The ventilation appliance may become damaged or catch fire. The ventilation appliance must only be combined with gas burners that do not exceed the maximum total output of 61,000 BTU/ hr (18 kW). If 41,000 BTU/hr (12 kW) is exceeded, the local regulations concerning room ventilation, room size, and combination with ventilation devices in exhaust and recirculating operation must be followed.

WARNING

To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside. Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls, ceilings, attics, crawl spaces or garages.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

When the hood is operated in exhaust-air mode simultaneously with a different burner which also makes use of the same chimney (such as gas, oil or coal-fired heaters, continuous-flow heaters, hot-water boilers) care must be taken to ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh air which will be needed by the burner for combustion.

Safe operation is possible provided that the under pressure in the room where the burner is installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).

This can be achieved if combustion air can flow through non-lockable openings, e.g. in doors, windows and via the air-intake/exhaust-air wall box or by other technical measures, such as reciprocal interlocking, etc.

WARNING

Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning – Provide adequate air intake so combustion gases are not drawn back into the room.

An air-intake/exhaust-air wall box by itself is no guarantee that the limiting value will not be exceeded.

Note: When assessing the overall requirement, the combined ventilation system for the entire household must be taken into consideration. This rule does not apply to the use of cooking appliances, such as cooktops and ovens.

CAUTION

For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

Appliance Handling Safety

Unit is heavy and requires at least two people or proper equipment to move.

Hidden surfaces may have sharp edges. Use caution when reaching behind or under appliance.

WARNING

Risk of injury

The appliance may fall from the wall if it is not attached properly. All fastening components must be fixed firmly and securely in place.

General Notes

Exhaust air mode

Note: Ventilation may not exit through an already operational smoke or exhaust chimney, nor a duct used for ventilating furnace installation areas.

If the ventilation is intended to pass through a smoke or exhaust chimney that is not in operation, the responsible area heating inspector must give approval.

If the ventilation passes through an external wall, use a telescope wall sleeve.

Ventilation line

Note: The appliance manufacturer does not assume any warranty for complaints attributable to the duct section.

The appliance achieves its optimum performance by means of a short, straight exhaust air duct and as large a duct diameter as possible.

As a result of long rough exhaust air ducts, many duct bends or duct diameters that are smaller than 6" (150 mm), the optimum extraction performance is not achieved and fan noise is increased.

The ducts or hoses for laying the exhaust air line must be made of non-combustible material.

Use sealing strip for deviating duct diameters.

Electrical connection
