Safety warnings
For the installer
 When used as an extractor unit, the hood must
be fitted with a:
EFG 535:100mm diameter hose,
EFG 540:120mm diameter hose.
Attention: The hose is not supplied and must
be purchased separately.
When installing the hood, make sure you
respect the following minimum distance
from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring
surfaces:
electric cookers 600 mm
gas cookers 700 mm
The hood can be installed above these heights
but for optimum performance it should be
installed at the distance quoted for the
appropriate heat source.
 The national Standard on fuel-burning s stems
specifies a maximum depression of 0.04 mbar
in such rooms.
 The air outlet must not be connected to
chimne flues or combustion gas ducts. The air
outlet must under no circumstances be
connected to ventilation ducts for rooms in
which fuel-burning appliances are installed.
 The air outlet installation must compl with the
regulations laid down b the relevant
authorities.
 When the unit is used in its extractor version, a
sufficientl large ventilation hole must be
provided, with dimensions that are approxi-
matel the same as the outlet hole.
 National and regional building regulations
impose a number of restrictions on using hoods
and fuel-burning appliances connected to a
chimne , such as coal or oil room-heaters and
gas fires, in the same room.
 Hoods can onl be used safel with appliances
connected to a chimne if the room and/or flat
(air/environment combination) is ventilated
from outside using a suitable ventilation hole
approximatel 500-600 cm2 large to avoid the
possibilit of a depression being created during
operation of the hood.
 If ou have an doubts, contact the relevant
controlling authorit or building inspector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 sa a larger hole, could reduce the
performance of the extractor hood.
 If the hood is used in its filtering function, it will
operate simpl and safel in the above
conditions without the need for an of the
aforementioned measures.
 When the hood is used in its extractor function,
the following rules must be followed to obtain
optimal operation:
 short and straight outlet hose
 keep bends in outlet hose to a minimum
 never install the hoses with an acute angle,
the must alwa s follow a gentle curve.
 keep the hose as large as possible
(preferabl the same diameter as the
outlet hole).
 Failure to observe these basic instructions will
drasticall reduce the performance and increase
the noise levels of the extractor hood.
