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
