•Hoods can only be used safely with appliances connected to a
chimneyif the room and/or flat (air/environment combination) is
ventilatedfrom outside using a suitable ventilation hole approximately
500-600cm2 largeto avoid the possibilityofa depression being
createdduring operation of thehood.
•Ifyouhaveanydoubts, contact the relevant controlling authority or
buildinginspector’s office.
•Since the rule for rooms with fuel burning appliances is “outlet hole of
the same size as the ventilation hole”, a hole of 500-600 cm2, which
is to say a larger hole, could reduce the performance of the extractor
hood.
•If the hood is used in its filtering function, it will operate simply and
safelyin the above conditionswithout the need for any of the
aforementionedmeasures.
•When the hood is used in its extractor function, the following rules
mustbefollowedtoobtain optimal operation:
—short and straight outlet hose
—keep bends in outlet hose to a minimum
—never install the hoses with an acute angle, they must
always follow a gentle curve only
—keep the hose as large as possible (preferably the same diameter
as the outlet hole).
•Failure to observe these basic instructions will drastically reduce the
