PRIORTO INSTALLATION
Step 1 : EXHAUST-AIR MODE
ffL.-_ m 283/8" - 421/4"
The exhaust air is discharged upwards
through a duct or directly through the
outside wall into the open.
_ Exhaust air should neither be directed
into a smoke or exhaust flue that is currently
used for other purposes, nor into a duct
that is used for ventilating rooms in which
stoves or fireplaces are also located.
Exhaust air may be discharged in
accordance with official and statutory
regulations only (e.g. national building
regulations).
Local authority regulations must be
observed when discharging air into smoke
or exhaust flues that are not otherwise in
use.
f_ 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
underpressure in the room where the burner
is installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04
mbar).
i
:
-40"
221/32"
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.
If the air intake is inadequate, there is a
risk of poisoning from combustion gases
which are drawn back into the room.
/'_ WARNING - Avoid risk of poisoning -
Ifthe air intake to the room is inadequate,
there is a risk of poisoning from combustion
gases which can be drawn back into the
room.
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.
If the exhaust air is going to be
discharged into the open, a telescopic
wall box should be fitted into the
outside wall.

For optimum hood efficiency:
Short, smooth duct pipe.
As few bends in the ducting as possible.
Diameter of ducting to be as large as
possible and no tight bends in ducting.
If long, rough exhaust-air ducting,
many ducting bends or smaller pipe
diameters are used, the air extraction
rate will no longer be at an optimum
level and there will be an increase in
noise.
IMPORTANT: The manufacturer of the
hood accepts no liability for
complaints which can be attributed to
the design and layout of the duct-
work.
Round pipes:
We recommend
Internal diameter: 6".
Flat ducts must have an internal cross-
section that equates to that of round
pipes.
There should be no sharp bends.
¢ 6" approx. 50.3 inches2
If pipes have different diameters:
Insert sealing strip.
For exhaust-air mode, ensure that
there is an adequate supply of fresh air.
CONNECTING A ¢ 6" EXHAUST-AIR
DUCT:
Mount the duct directlyonto the air out-
leton the hood.
Step 2: PREPARING THE CEILING
The ceiling must be flat and horizontal.
Make sure that the ceiling can bear the
applied loads.
The provided screws and wall plugs are
suitable for solid masonry. On all other
wall types (e. g. plasterboard, porous
concrete, Poroton bricks) use the appro-
priate fasteners.
Ensure that the ceiling is capable of pro-
viding a firm hold for mounting screws
and plugs.
