INSTALLATION
1. Before carrying out the appliance installation, please check that all components are not
damaged, in such a case contact your retailer and do not carry out any installation operation.
Furthermore, please read carefully all of the following installation instructions.
› Use an air exhausting pipe whose maximum length
does not exceed 5 meters.
› Limit the number of elbows in the piping, since each
elbow reduces the air capacity of 1 linear meter. (eg. if
you use no. 2 x 90° elbows, the length of piping should
not exceed 3 meters).
› Avoid abrupt direction changes.
› Use a 150mm constant diameter rigid ducting pipe for
the whole length.
› Use piping approved by standards in force.
The manufacturer shall not be deemed responsible for air
capacity or noise problems caused by failure to comply with
the above instructions and no warranty on the product shall
be provided.
