IMPORTANT INFORMATION'

Z_ Old appliances are not worthless junk. Valuable raw

materials can be reclaimed by recycling old appliances. Before disposing of your old appliance, render it unusable.

Z_You received your new appliance in a protective

shipping carton. All packaging materials are environmen-

tally friendly and recyclable. Please contribute to a better

environment by disposing of packaging materials in an environmentally-friendly manner.

Z_The hood can only be used in exhaust air mode. Z_XAIways mount the hood over the center of the cook-

top. Z_ Minimum distance between electric cooktop and

bottom edge of hood: 30" ram, Fig. 1.

Z_The extractor hood must not be installed over a solid fuel cooker - a potential fire hazard (e.g. flying sparks) -

unless the cooker features a closed, non-removable cover and all national regulations are observed.

Z_The smaller the gap between the hood and burners, the greater the likelihood that droplets will form on the

underside of the hood.

Additional gas cooktop information:

Z_ When installing gas cooktops, comply with the relevant national statutory regulations.

Z_ Always comply with the currently valid regulations and installation instructions supplied by the gas appliance

manufacturer. Z_ Only one side of the hood may be installed next to a

high-sided unit or high wall. Leave a gap of at least 2". Z_ Minimum distance between the upper edge of the gas

burner grates and lower edge of the hood: 30", Fig. 1.

BEFORE INSTALLATION

EXHAUST-AIR MODE

The exhaust air is discharged upwards through a duct or

directly through an exterior wall to the outdoors. _ Exhaust air should neither be directed into a smoke or

exhaust flue (chimney) that is currently used for other pur- poses 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 government regulations must be observed when

discharging air into smoke or exhaust flues that are not otherwise in use.

_< When the extractor hood is operated in exhaust-air mode simultaneously with a different heating system that 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 heating system for combustion.

Safe operation is possible provided that the negative pres- sure in the room where the heating system is installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).

This can be achieved ifcombustion air can flow through

non-lockable openings, such as doors, windows and

through the air-intake/exhaust-air wall box.

WARNING - Avoid risk of poisoning - If the air intake is inadequate, there is a risk of poisoning from com- bustion gases that are drawn back into the room.

Note: When assessing the overall requirements, the com- bined 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. Unrestricted operation is possible if the extractor hood is

used in recirculating mode - with activated carbon filters. If the exhaust air is going to be discharged to the out-

doors, a telescopic wall box should be fitted into the out- side wall.

For optimum hood efficiency:

Short, smooth ductwork.

As few bends in the ductwork as possible.

Diameter of ductwork to be as wide as possible with no tight bends in ductwork.

If using long, rough exhaust-air ductwork, several duct elbows or ductwork with a narrower diameter, the rate of air extraction 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 duct sections:

Recommended

internal diameter: 6"/10".

Flat ducts must have an internal cross-section equal to that of round duct sections.

Minimum ¢ 6" approx. 28.3 inches 2.

r_ If ducts have different diameters:

Insert sealing strip for transition.

r_ For exhaust-air mode, ensure that there is an

adequate supply of fresh air.
