Description of functions

The following functions are available on your ventilation hood, depending on the model:

Vented mode

Air entering through the intake is cleaned by the grease filters and conducted out of the building.

Non-return flap

A non-return flap in the ducting prevents the exchange of inside and outside air from occurring when the ventilation hood is not in use. The flap is closed when the ventilation hood is turned off. When the ventilation hood is turned on, the non-return flap opens so that the exhaust air can be transported outside without any obstruction.

Recirculation mode

(Recirculation mode hoods require a Recirculation kit an OdorFree Charcoal Filter (available as optional accessories), see "Technical Data" for more information.)
Air entering through the intake is first cleaned by the grease filters and then by an OdorFree Charcoal Filter. The cleaned air is then recirculated back into the kitchen.
A non-return flap has been provided with the hood in case your ducting does not have one. It is inserted into the outlet duct collar of the fan.

Installation recommendations

– We also recommend a distance of at
least 25 1/2" (650 mm) above electric cooktops to provide more workspace and easier cooking under the hood.
– When selecting an installation height,
always take the user height into consideration. Users should have ample space to work comfortably on the cooktop and reach the ventilation hood controls with ease.
– Please note that the greater the
distance from the cooktop, the less effective the hood is at drawing in the cooking vapors.
– To achieve optimal vapor extraction,
make sure that the hood covers the cooktop. The hood should be positioned centrally over the cooktop, not to the side or rear.
– The cooktop should be no wider than
the hood. Preferably, it should be narrower.

Drilling diagram for wall mounting

When drilling, please follow the
directions contained on the accompanying installation sheet.
– The mounting area must be easily
accessible. The ventilation hood should be easy to reach and disassemble in case a service call is necessary. This should be taken into consideration when planning the position of cupboards, shelves, ceilings or decorative elements in the vicinity of the ventilation hood.
When installing a custom back wall
with pre-drilled holes, please refer to the drilling distances in the drawing above (screws 3/16" (5 mm)).
* The dimension for the middle wall bracket is variable. It will depend on the position of the wall vent and the socket. It should be set as low as possible.
29

Exhaust duct

WARNING: Danger of toxic fumes. Gas cooking appliances release carbon monoxide that can be harmful or fatal if inhaled.
To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, the exhaust gases extracted by the hood should be vented outside of the building only.
Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or in attics, crawl spaces or garages.
To reduce the risk of fire, only use metal ductwork.
Please read and follow the "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" to reduce the risk of personal injury. Follow all local building codes when installing the hood.
Only use smooth pipes or flexible
duct hoses made from non­flammable materials for exhaust ductwork.
To achieve the greatest possible air
extraction with the lowest noise levels, please note the following:
– The diameter of the exhaust duct
should not be less than 6" (150 mm).
– Make sure that all connections are
secure and airtight.
Remember that any constriction of the airflow will reduce extraction performance and increase operating noise.
If the exhaust duct is to be routed
through an outside wall, we recommend installing a telescopic wall vent or a rooftop vent (available as an optional accessory).
If the exhaust air is to be conducted
into a vent flue, the intake piece must be aligned with the flow direction of the flue.
When installing the exhaust duct
horizontally, you must slope it away from the source by at least 1 cm per meter (3/8" per 3 1/4'). This ensures that condensate cannot drain back into the ventilation hood.
– If flat exhaust ducts are used, the
cross section should not be smaller than that of the exhaust connector.
– The exhaust duct should be as short
and straight as possible.
– If elbows are needed, make sure they
have a large radius.
– The exhaust duct itself must not be
kinked or compressed.
30
If the exhaust duct is to be routed
through rooms, ceiling space etc., the temperatures in these different areas may differ greatly, which means that the problem of condensation will need to be addressed. The exhaust duct will need to be insulated.
Exhaust duct

Condensate trap

In addition to insulating the exhaust duct, we recommend installing a condensate trap to collect and evaporate any condensate which might accumulate. Condensate traps are available for exhaust ducts with a diameter of 5" (125 mm) or 6" (150 mm).
When installing a condensate trap,
make sure that it is positioned vertically and, if possible, directly above the hood outlet duct collar. The arrow on the housing indicates the direction of airflow.

Reducing Collar

(optional accessory)
If you would like to reduce the environmental impact of your ventilation system by limiting the CFM output the Reducing Collar can be installed. It reduces the air flow to less than 400 CFM. Check local building codes for max. CFM requirements.
Push the Reducing Collar on the
exhaust port of the fan.
Push the exhaust hose over it.Fix both with a hose clamp.
31
