IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLER: Save these instructions for the local electrical
inspector’s use. Please leave these instructions with this
unit for the owner. Show the owner the location of the
circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
OWNER: Please retain these instructions for future
reference.
Check if this blower is recommended by the manufacturer
to be installed with the hood.
WARNING
If the information in this manual is not followed
exactly, fire or shock may result causing property
damage or personal injury.
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock hazard, before installing,
switch power off at the service panel and lock the
panel to prevent the power from being switched on
accidentally.
CAUTION
FOR GENERAL VENTILATING USE ONLY. DO NOT
use to exhaust hazardous or explosive materials and
vapors.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or electric
shock, do not use
this blower with any solid-state
speed control device.
WARNING
This appliance must be grounded. Improper
grounding can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult
a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if doubt as to whether
the appliance is properly grounded.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,
OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
• Installation work and electrical wiring must be
done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards, including firerated construction.
• Sufficient air is needed for proper 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.
• USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
• To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air,
be sure to duct air outside. DO NOT vent exhaust
air in spaces with walls or ceilings or into attics,
crawl spaces or garages.
• When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not
damage electrical wiring and other hidden
utilities.

Installation
Step 1: EXHAUST-AIR MODE
Equipment Needed
• Drill and Bit
• Screwdriver
• Rubber Mallet
Equipment Included
• Anchors (4)
• Screws (4)
• Connector
WARNING
Turn off power circuit at service panel and lock out
panel before wiring this appliance. Allow the
appliance to cool after the power has been turned off
before servicing the appliance.
Exhaust air should not be directed into a smoke or exhaust
flue that is currently used for other purposes, nor into a
shaft that is used for ventilating rooms in which stoves or
fireplaces are also located.
Exhaust air must be discharged in accordance with official
and statutory regulations only (e.g. national building
regulations).
Local 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 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).
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 or by other technical
measures, such as reciprocal interlocking, etc.
If the air intake is inadequate, there is a risk of carbon
monoxide poisoning from combustion gases which are
drawn back into the room.
An air-intake/exhaust-air wall box by itself is no guarantee
that the limiting value will not be exceeded.
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 ranges and
ovens.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Attach the inner wall blower inside the building
only, but not in living rooms.
• When attaching the inner wall blower, ensure that
it is accessible for maintenance and repairs.
• The plug-and-socket connections of the electric
cables must be located inside the building,
according to local code.
• DO NOT reduce the 10" (254 mm) diameter of
the pipes connected to the extractor hood except
when used with downdraft systems.
• DO NOT install the blower
–
outdoors
.
– in an environment with dripping water.
– near flammable materials.
– in rooms which may contain gas or other fuels.
Step 2: PREPARING THE WALL
• The wall must be flat and perpendicular.
• Ensure that the wall is capable of providing a firm hold
for mounting screws and anchors.

1. Hold the blower on the wall.
Note the direction of the air conduction.
2. Mark the 4 mounting boreholes.
• At least one screw must be installed through a
stud.
• All hardware must be suitable for the wall’s
construction materials.

Insert wall anchors and screw the blower to the wall.
4. Connect the ducting from the blower to the extractor
hood and feed to the outside.

extension cable, if required.
Use the added connector to hard-wire to the blower, if
required.
Use the wire diagram for connecting.
WARNING
