Operation (Extraction Mode Only)
• Care should be taken if operating the cooker hood at the same time, and in the same vicinity, as other heating appliances which depend on air for
their operation. This may include such appliances as wood, oil, gas or coal-fired boilers and heaters, gas ovens, hobs and cookers, and continuous flow
or other water heaters.
• The cooker hood, when used in extraction mode, will draw air from neighbouring rooms in addition to the room in which it is fitted.
• If there is insufficient air in these rooms, an under-pressure will occur and the heating appliance may be starved of oxygen and combustion may not
occur.
• In addition, harmful gases from the heating appliance may be drawn from the chimney / ducting back into the room with potentially fatal
consequences.
• To ensure safe operation, an under-pressure of 0.04mbar (4pa) is the maximum permissible in the room.
• Adequate ventilation can be maintained by:
• The use of air inlets by means of windows, doors and external wall vents
• Ensuring none of the ventilation openings are blocked
• Using either the cooker hood or heating appliance in isolation
• It is advisable to use a window contact switch if relying on an open window as the sole source of ventilation. In this case, the cooker hood will not
operate unless the window is opened sufficiently. These can be obtained from all good builders merchants.
• Any doubts or concerns should be raised with a suitably qualified and competent person or, in the case of a gas appliance, with a Corgi registered
installer.
