FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a) Installation work and electrical
~
wiring must be done by qualified
person(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards,
including fire-rated construction.
b) Sufficient air is needed for
~
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.
c) When cutting or drilling into the
~
wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical
wiring and other hidden utilities.
g) Do not install this hood over
~
cooktops that burn solid fuel.
h) Provided a larger distance is not
~
given by the manufacturer of the
cooktop, follow the minimum safety
distances between a cooktop and the
bottom of the hood given in the
"Appliance dimensions" section of this
manual.
If local building codes require a greater
safety distance, follow their
requirement.
If there is more than one appliance
beneath the hood and they have
different minimum safety distances
always select the greater distance.
i) Never connect an exhaust hood to
~
an active chimney, dryer vent, vent flue,
or room ventilating ductwork.
j) Seek professional advice before
~
connecting an exhaust hood vent to an
existing, inactive chimney or vent flue.
k) Any fittings, sealant, or materials
~
used to install the ductwork must be
made of approved non-flammable
materials.
d) Ducted hoods must always be
~
vented to the outdoors.
e) Do not use this hood with any
~
solid-state speed control device.
f) Do not use an extension cord to
~
connect the appliance to electricity.
Extension cords do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance,
(e.g. danger of overheating).

Functional description
The hood offers two modes of operation:
Air extraction
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filters and directed outside.
The hood comes equipped with a
non-return flap. This flap automatically
closes when the hood is turned off so
that no exchange of outside air and
room air can occur. When the hood is
turned on, the air pressure of the
exhaust fan automatically opens the
flap blowing the inside air and cooking
odors outside.
Recirculation mode
Air is drawn through the grease filters
and an active charcoal filter. The
filtered air is then recirculated back into
the kitchen through a vent at the top of
the hood’s chimney.
The recirculation mode requires an
install kit and charcoal filter which are
optional accessories.
Before using the hood in
recirculation mode, ensure that the
active charcoal filter is in place, see
"Cleaning and care".
