beneath the hood and they have
different minimum safety distances
always select the greater distance.
Be careful not to damage hidden
electrical wiring or plumbing when
cutting or drilling into the wall or ceiling.
Do not use an extension cord to
connect the appliance to electricity.
Extension cords do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance, (e.g.
danger of overheating).
Do not install this hood over
cooktops burning solid fuel.
Any fittings, sealant, or materials
used to install the ductwork must
be made of approved non-flammable
materials.
Never connect an exhaust hood to
an active chimney, dryer vent, vent
flue, or room ventilating ductwork. Seek
professional advice before connecting
an exhaust hood vent to an existing,
inactive chimney or vent flue.
Ducted fans must always be
vented outdoors.
Make sure that the airflow in the
room is sufficient for combustion
and exhausting of all non-electric
heating appliances (water heaters, gas
cooktops, gas ovens, etc.), otherwise
backdrafts may occur. Follow the
heating manufacturer’s guidelines and
safety standards or those published by

The hood offers two modes of
operation:
Air extraction
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filters and directed outside.
The hood comes equipped with a
non-return flap. This flap automatically
closes when the hood is turned off so
that no exchange of outside air and
room air can occur. When the hood is
turned on, the air pressure of the
exhaust fan automatically opens the
flap blowing the inside air and cooking
odors outside.
Recirculation mode
Air is drawn through the grease filters
and an active charcoal filter. The
filtered air is then recirculated back into
the kitchen through a vent at the top of
the hood’s chimney.
Before using the hood in
recirculation mode, ensure that the
active charcoal filters are in place,
see "Cleaning and care".
