6.1 Technical data
Rating: 260 W
Weight: 19 kg
fan module is needed for suction extraction.
Technical modifications reserved.
6.2 Important notes
The appliance must only be connected by an
authorised specialist. The specialist is respon-
sible for perfect functioning of the appliance at its
installation location. He must explain the operating
principle of the appliance to the user with referen-
ce to the operating instructions. He must explain
to the user how the appliance can be isolated from
the mains whenever required.
The exhaust air can be routed into a ventilation
shaft or directly into the open through the outside
wall. dequate incoming air must be ensured
whenever the hob ventilator is operated in the
exhaust air mode and firing systems dependent
on a chimney are operated at the same time.
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
hob ventilator is operated in the exhaust air mode.
dequate incoming air must be ensured. The appli-
cable construction and safety regulations must be
observed.
dequate 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 wall hood
is installed.
Adequate ventilation of the room must be
ensured whenever a hob ventilator is operated
simultaneously with devices that are operated with
non-electrical energy. Official regulations must be
observed with regard to removal of the exhaust air.
The applica le regulations of the power supply
companies and the regional construction regula-
tions must be observed when installing the hob
ventilator.
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.
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 be used. Exhaust air pipes should
have a nominal diameter of 150 mm.
The lateral distance from the appliance installed
next to it must amount to 8 mm.
If two Vario appliances are used, the hob venti-
lator must be installed between the appliances. If
4-plate hobs are used, it is recommended to place
two ventilation devices to the left and right of the
hob. Owing to the high air output, an adequate
supply of air is required.
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.
6. ssembly instructions

6.3 Electrical connection
Pay attention to the rating plate data.
The mains connecting cable must at least
correspond to the type H 05 VV-F G 0,75.
fter installation, plug the connecting ca le plug
in an accessible socket. If the plug can no longer
be removed after installation, isolation of all poles
from the mains must be ensured by means of an
accessible isolator with a contact spacing of at least
3 mm.
You can use the window switch if the appliance
is only used when the window is open (to ensure
adequate incoming air).
switch (normally open contact) is fitted on the
window. 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.
6.4 Installation next to a gas ho
Pay attention to the following notes if you
wish to install a gas range next to the ho
ventilator.
– locking bolt must be installed in the hob
ventilator to prevent the boom from swivelling
over the gas range.
– Extend the unit.
– Position the swivel arm in the centre.
– Open the flap on the rear.
– Fit a pin (accessory) in the collar of the acces-
sible mounting ring (black plastic part). Fit the
pin on the side opposite to the one where the
boom is no longer to swivel.
– Close the flap.
When operated next to gas appliances, the swivel
arm must be extended at least to the top edge of
the pan as otherwise the flame of the gas burner
will be impaired.

6.5 Installation
The hob ventilator can be installed next to one or
between two built-in Vario appliances.
Choose the suitable connection variant (see
Pages 13-15) before beginning with installation.
– Produce the recess for the appliance. Proceed
as indicated on the installation sketch and the
dimension table (Fig. 7). When installing several
Vario appliances at the same time, please pay
attention to the dimensions specified in the type
list. Important: The angle between the cut
surface and the worktop must amount to 90°.
– Mark the centre of the recess exactly. Secure
the securing rail in the recess at the rear with the
included wood screws. Make sure that the lugs
of the securing rail lie on the worktop and that the
centre marking of the securing rail is precisely
flush with the centre marking on the worktop.
(Fig. 8) When installed in a stone worktop, the
securing rail must be adhered with a suitable
adhesive.
– Make sure that the securing rail is fitted at a
right angle to the surface of the worktop.
– Remove the protective film from the included
sealing tape and stick the sealing tape onto
the edge of the worktop so that the edge of the
