WARNING
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
‒Installation work and electrical wiring must be done
by qualified person(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards, including fire-
rated construction.
‒Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and
exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of
fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting.
Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s
guideline and safety standards such as those
published by the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA), and the American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code
authorities.
‒When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not
damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.
‒Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
WARNING
The applicable regulations of the energy supply
companies and the regional construction regulations
must be observed when installing the hood.
WARNING
Risk of fire
Grease deposits in the grease filter can catch fire.
Never work with a naked flame near the appliance (e.g.
flambéing). Install the unit near a heat-producing
appliance for solid fuels (e.g. wood or coal) only if there
is a closed, non-detachable cover. There must be no
flying sparks.
WARNING
Risk of fire
Operating several gas burners at the same time gives
rise to a great deal of heat. The ventilation appliance
may become damaged or catch fire. The ventilation
appliance must only be combined with gas burners that
do not exceed the maximum total output of 61,000 BTU/
hr (18 kW). If 41,000 BTU/hr (12 kW) is exceeded, the
local regulations concerning room ventilation, room
size, and combination with ventilation devices in exhaust
and recirculating operation must be followed.
WARNING
To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be
sure to duct air outside. Do not vent exhaust air into
spaces within walls, ceilings, attics, crawl spaces or
garages.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

WARNING
When the hood is operated in exhaust-air mode
simultaneously with a different burner which also makes
use of the same chimney (such as gas, oil or coal-fired
heaters, continuous-flow heaters, hot-water boilers) care
must be taken to ensure that there is an adequate
supply of fresh air which will be needed by the burner
for combustion.
Safe operation is possible provided that the under
pressure in the room where the burner is installed does
not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).
This can be achieved if combustion air can flow through
non-lockable openings, e.g. in doors, windows and via
the air-intake/exhaust-air wall box or by other technical
measures, such as reciprocal interlocking, etc.
WARNING
Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning – Provide adequate
air intake so combustion gases are not drawn back into
the room.
An air-intake/exhaust-air wall box by itself is no
guarantee that the limiting value will not be exceeded.
Note: When assessing the overall requirement, the
combined ventilation system for the entire household
must be taken into consideration. This rule does not
apply to the use of cooking appliances, such as
cooktops and ovens.
CAUTION
For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

AVERTISSEMENT
Pour l'installation de la hotte, vous devez respecter tous
les règlements des entreprises de distribution
d'électricité et de construction régionaux applicables.
AVERTISSEMENT
Risque d'incendie
Les dépôts se trouvant dans le filtre à graisse peuvent
s'enflammer. Ne jamais cuisiner à proximité de l'appareil
avec une flamme ouverte (par exemple pour faire
flamber). Installer l'appareil près d'un foyer pour
combustibles solides (bois ou charbon par exemple)
seulement s'il y a un couvercle fermé et non amovible. Il
ne faut pas qu'il se produise de projection d'étincelles.
AVERTISSEMENT
Risque d’incendie
Le fonctionnement simultané de plusieurs feux gaz
engendre une forte production de chaleur. Le cas
échéant, l'appareil de ventilation peut être endommagé
ou s'enflammer. L'appareil de ventilation doit
uniquement être combiné avec des feux gaz dont la
puissance totale maximale ne dépasse pas 61,000 BTU/
hr (18 kW). Si la puissance maximale dépasse
41,000 BTU/hr (12 kW), les prescriptions locales en
matière de ventilation, de volume de la pièce et de
combinaison avec des appareils de ventilation en mode
aspiration ou ventilation doivent être observées.
AVERTISSEMENT
Pour réduire le risque de feu et pour évacuer
correctement l'air, évacuez l'air vers l'extérieur.
N'évacuez pas l'air dans les murs, les plafonds, les
greniers, les vides sanitaires ou les garages.
AVERTISSEMENT
Pour réduire les risques de feu, utiliser uniquement des
gaines en métal.

AVERTISSEMENT
Lorsque la hotte aspirante est utilisée en mode
d'évacuation d'air simultanément avec un brûleur
différent utilisant également la même cheminée, (tels
des appareils de chauffage au gaz, à l'huile ou au
charbon, des chauffe-eau instantanés ou des
chaudières à eau chaude), veillez à ce que l'apport d'air
frais soit suffisant pour assurer la combustion adéquate
du brûleur.
Un fonctionnement sans risque est possible si la sous-
pression dans la pièce où le brûleur est installé ne
dépasse pas 4 Pa (0,04 mbar).
On peut y parvenir en acheminant l'air requis pour la
combustion à travers des ouvertures non verrouillables,
par exemple dans les portes et fenêtres, et en
association avec des boîtiers muraux d'admission/
d'évacuation d'air fixées au mur ou grâce à d'autres
mesures techniques telles qu'un verrouillage
réciproque, etc.
AVERTISSEMENT
Évitez l'intoxication au monoxyde de carbone. –
Prévoyez une admission d'air adéquate pour empêcher
l'aspiration des gaz de combustion dans la pièce.
Un boîtier mural air d'admission/air d'échappement ne
peut garantir que la valeur limite ne sera pas dépassée.
Remarque : Lorsque vous évaluez les exigences
globales, vous devez tenir compte du système combiné
d'aération de la maison au complet. Cette règle ne
s'applique pas aux appareils de cuisson, comme les
surfaces de cuisson et les fours.
ATTENTION
Appareil conçu exclusivement pour la ventilation
générale. Ne pas utiliser pour évacuer des matières et
vapeurs dangereuses ou explosives.
