2.3 Operating principle
This extractor hood swiftly and silently extracts
all odours produced while cooking. You can set
different intensity levels depending on the intensity
of odours.
The fan in the extractor hood sucks in the kitchen
vapours and passes them through the grease filter
to outdoors. The grease filter a sor s the greasy
components in the kitchen vapours (see Fig. 4).
The “Coanda effect”
Kitchen vapours are extracted even etter with the
“Coanda effect”. By means of an additional motor,
kitchen vapours are passed swiftly and effectively
into the hood’s extraction zone. An additional fan
on the front edge of the kitchen extractor hood
generates an air stream that is diverted around a
cylinder towards the rear. This ensures that kitchen
vapours are routed completely into the extractor
hood’s filter area (see Fig. 5).

4. Cleaning and care
Note:
The handles of the grease filters must e visi le
after installation. They can no longer e removed
if the handles are in the inner part of the housing.
Caution!
Over-greased filters are a fire risk! Pay attention to
cleaning the grease filter on a regular asis.
Fig. 12

Cleaning the glass plates
Apply commercially availa le window cleaning
agent with a soft, moist cloth. To facilitate cleaning,
you can detach the glass plates as follows:
Detach the grease filters. In the extractor hood, you
will find two openings on the upper side through
which you can lift the glass plates singly with a
lunt o ject (e.g. handle of a wooden spoon) to
detach them with greater ease.
If they are extremely soiled, the glass plates can e
cleaned in a dishwasher at a maximum temperature
of 130°F / 55 °C.
Cleaning the aluminium panel
Clean the aluminium panel with a soft cloth only. Do
not use any strong or caustic cleaning agents or
rushes and a rasive cleaner to clean it. Do not use
strongly alkaline cleaning agents (such as oven
spray) ecause these are aggressive to the
aluminium surface. Do not use any a rasive
sponges either.
Clean the stainless steel parts of the extractor
hood (side panel, ventilation duct) with mild rinsing
detergent and apply stainless steel care agent to
the metal surfaces using a soft cloth.

6. Assem ly instructions

6.2 Installation
W RNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a.) Installation work and electrical wiring must e
done y qualified person(s) in accordance with
all applica le codes and standards, including
fire-rated construction.
.) Sufficient air is needed for proper com ustion
end exhausting of gases through the flue
(chimney) of fuel urning equipment to prevent
ack drafting. Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards
such as those pu lished y the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA), and the American
Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air
Conditioning (ASHRAE), and the local code
authorities.
c.) When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do
not damage electrical wiring and other hidden
utilities.
d.) Ducted fans must always e vented to the
outdoors.
e.) If this unit is to e installed over a tu or shower,
it must e marked as appropriate for the appli-
cation and e connected to a GFCI (Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter) - protected ranch
circuit.
f.) NEVER place a switch where it can e reached
from a tu or shower.
W RNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
The applica le regulations of the energy supply
companies and the regional construction
regulations must e o served when installing
the hood.
The minimum distance from the worktop to the
ottom edge of the wall hood is for electrical
appliances 2510/16 ´´/ 650 mm and for gas appliances
30 ´ ´ / 762 mm.
The wall hood was conceived for the exhaust air
mode. The exhaust air can e routed into a
separate exhaust air shaft or directly into the open
through the outside wall.
It is not allowed to pass the exhaust air into a flue
or exhaust air chimney that is in operation or into a
shaft that is linked to the heating asement. Consult
the chimney sweep responsi le for your district
whenever you wish to pass the exhaust air into a
chimney that is not in operation.
During the course of planning, a chimney sweep
must e consulted if a room air-dependent hearth
is operated in the same room as the one in which a
hood is operated in the exhaust air mode. Adequate
incoming air must e ensured. The applica le
construction and safety regulations must e
o served.
Adequate incoming air must e ensured if a wood,
coal, gas or oil heater or an open hearth is operated
in the same room as the one in which the hood is
installed.
Safe operation is possi le whenever the partial
vacuum in the place where the firing equipment
is installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 m ar).
This can e achieved whenever the air needed for
com ustion is a le to enter through openings that
cannot e sealed, for example in doors, windows,
incoming/exhaust air wall oxes or other technical
means.
14

15
Flexi le aluminium pipes, corrosion-protected
sheet metal pipes and exhaust air pipes whose
material conforms to fire B1 in accordance with
DIN 4102 can e used. Exhaust air pipes should
have a nominal diameter of 6´ ´ / 150 mm.
Pay particular attention to ensuring that
– the exhaust air ducts and pipes are kept as short
as possi le
– the pipes are not laid at an acute angle, ut as
ends and that they are inserted into the shaft at
an inclined upward angle and
– there are no cross-sectional constrictions in the
upward direction (this reduces the volume flow).
As standard, the low-out opening of the wall hood
is in the upward direction.
To pass exhaust air through the outer wall, we
recommend the use of our telescopic wall ox
TM 150-045 (Ø 6´´/ 150 mm).
Note:
To prevent the ingress of water, e.g. condensate or
rain water from an uncovered exhaust air shaft, our
condensate separator RV 060-150 must e installed
in the exhaust air line. The condensate separator
must still e acciessi le after installation.
Planning note:
When installing the hood etween wall cup oards it
is advisa le to leave a space of at least 2” on oth
sides of the hood.
Depending on the ceiling height, the following duct
units are at your disposal for exhaust air operation:
LK 360-010: Ventilation duct for ceiling heights of
7 ´ 7 ´ ´ - 8 ´ 6 ´ ´ / 2.35 - 2.66 m
LK 360-020: Ventilation duct for ceiling heights of
8 ´ 6 ´ ´ - 9 ´ 9 ´ ´ / 2.66 - 3.00 m
The dimensions a ove refer to a distance of 5´ 3 ´ ´ /
1.60 m from the floor to the ottom edge of the
hood.
If required, special ventilation ducts are availa le at
an extra charge.
The power connection must e placed ehind the
duct cover on the wall.
