1.1 For your safety
–Damaged appliances must not be operated.
–The appliance must only be connected by an
authorised specialist, paying attention to
the relevant regulations of the power supply
companies and the regional construction
regulations.
Also observe the assembly instructions!
–Connecting cables must not come into contact
with hot cooking surfaces.
–Do not operate the extractor hood without
inserted lamps.
–Never operate the appliance without a grease
filter.
–Hazardous or explosive substances and vapours
must not be extracted!
–The user is responsible for expert use and the
perfect condition of the appliance.
–Only ever operate the appliance under super-
vision.
–Caution! Over-greased filters are a fire risk!
Only ever deep-fry under the extractor under
constant supervision. Be sure to clean the
grease filter on a regular basis and change the
activated charcoal filter.
–Fire risk! Do not flambé meals under the
extractor hood!
–Operation of the extractor hood above a hearth
for solid fuels, which poses a fire risk (e.g. sparks)
is only permitted, if the hearth possesses a
closed and fixed lid. The current local
regulations must be obeyed. This does not apply
to gas hobs and gas cookers.
–Hobs may only be used under the extractor hood
when pots and pans are placed on them!
–When using more than 3 gas-operated rings at
the same time, please operate the extractor
hood at level 2 or higher. This prevents a build-
up of heat in the appliance.
–For safety reasons, do not place any heavy
objects on the top of the appliance.
–Do not clean the appliance with a steam
cleaning apparatus or with water pressure
because this poses a risk of short-circuits.
–Isolate the appliance from the mains during
every maintenance operation. To do this, remove
the mains plug or actuate the corresponding
fuse.
If the mains plug is not accessible, the appliance
must be switched off at fuse point.
–Repairs must be carried out by authorised
specialists, thus ensuring electrical safety.
–No warranty claims can be lodged in the event
of damage caused by failure to observe these
instructions.
–Adequate incoming air must be 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 possible whenever the partial
vacuum in the place where the firing equipment
is installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).
This can be achieved whenever the air needed
for combustion is able to enter through openings
that cannot be sealed, for example in doors,
windows, incoming/exhaust air wall boxes or
other technical means.
–If the appliance is to be operated only with the
window open (to ensure adequate incoming air),
you can use the window switch.
A switch (normally open) is fitted on the window.
On the appliance, this switch is connected to the
window switch terminal on the main electronics.
The appliance can now only be operated when
the window is open.
Important: the window switch must only be
connected by an authorised specialist.
Note: the light function works without restriction.
–After a power failure, the extractor will not go on
again automatically. You can recommence
operation by turning a knob or by pressing any
key.
Technical modifications reserved.

6.2 Installation
The applicable regulations of the energy supply
companies and the regional construction
regulations must be observed when installing
the hood.
This hood has been approved for installations as
low as 30 ´ ´ and as high as 36 ´ ´ above the cooktop.
The hood can be used in the exhaust or circulating
air mode. The exhaust air can be 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 basement. Consult
the chimney sweep responsible 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 be 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 be ensured. The applicable
construction and safety regulations must be
observed.
Adequate incoming air must be 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 possible whenever the partial
vacuum in the place where the firing equipment
is installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).
This can be achieved whenever the air needed for
combustion is able to enter through openings that
cannot be sealed, for example in doors, windows,
incoming/exhaust air wall boxes or other technical
means.

Flexible aluminium pipes, corrosion-protected
sheet metal pipes and exhaust air pipes whose
material conforms to fire B1 in accordance with
DIN 4102 can be 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 possible
–the pipes are not laid at an acute angle, but as
bends 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).
If long, rough exhaust-air pipes, many pipe
bends or smaller pipe diameters are used, the
air extraction rate will no longer be at an
optimum level and there will be an increase in
noise.
The manufacturer of the extractor hood
accepts no liability for complaints which can
be attributed to the design and layout of the
pipework.
As standard, the blow-out opening of the extractor
hood is in the upward direction.
To pass exhaust air through the outer wall, we
recommend the use of our telescopic wall box
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 be installed
in the exhaust air line. The condensate separator
must still be acciessible after installation.
The duct units listed below are available
depending on the height of the ceiling:
