The hood offers two modes of operation:
Functional description
Air extraction
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the decor panel and the grease filter 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 decor panel, grease filter 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".

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.
To achieve the most efficient air extraction and quietest noise levels, consider the following:
The diameter of the ductwork should
not be less than 6" (150 mm).
If flat ducting is used, the cross
section must not be smaller than the cross section of the ventilation exhaust.
– The ducting should be as short and
straight as possible.
– Use ductwork with a wide radius.
– The exhaust duct must not be bent
or compressed.
– Make sure all connections are
secure.
– Where the ductwork is horizontal, it
must slope away from the hood at
1
least
/8" per foot (1 cm per meter) to prevent condensation dripping into the appliance.
If the exhaust is ducted through an outside wall, a Telescopic Wall Vent can be used.

Air extraction
Reducing Collar
(optional accessory)
– If the exhaust is ducted into an
inactive flue, the air must be expelled parallel to the flow direction of the flue.
Never connect an exhaust hood to an active chimney, dryer vent, flue, or room venting ductwork. Seek professional advice before connecting an exhaust hood vent to an existing, inactive chimney or vent flue.
Important
If the ductwork runs through rooms, ceilings, garages, etc. where temperature variations exist, it may need to be insulated to reduce condensation.
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.
36
Condensate trap
(optional accessory)
In some cases, a condensate trap may also be required to collect and evaporate any condensate which may occur. This optional accessory is available for ducts 5" (125 mm) and 6" (150 mm) in diameter.
Air extraction
When installing a condensate trap, ensure that it is positioned vertically and if possible directly above the exhaust outlet.
37
Electrical connection
,WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
All electrical work should be performed by a qualified electrician in strict accordance with national regulations (for USA: ANSI-NFPA
70) and local safety regulations. Installation, repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. Ensure that power to the appliance is off while installation or repair work is performed.
^ Verify that the voltage, load and
circuit rating information found on the data plate (located behind the grease filters), match the household electrical supply before installing the hood.
^
Use only with ventilation hood cord-connection kits that have been investigated and found acceptable for use with this model hood.
Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance. 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.
If there is any doubt, have the electrical system of the house checked by a qualified electrician.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance.
Important
The hood comes equipped with a 2.5 ft (0.75 m) power cord with a NEMA 5-15 molded plug for connection to a 120 VAC, 60 Hz, 15 A power outlet.
