Installation
,WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
~a) Installation work and electrical
wiring must be done by qualified
person(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards,
including fire-rated construction.
~b) Sufficient air is needed for
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.
~c) When cutting or drilling into the
wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical
wiring and other hidden utilities.
~d) Ducted hoods must always be
vented to the outdoors.
~e) Do not use this hood with any
solid-state speed control device.
~f) 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).
~g) Do not install this hood over
cooktops that burn solid fuel.
~h) Provided a larger distance is not
given by the manufacturer of the
cooktop, follow the minimum safety
distances between a cooktop and the
bottom of the hood given in the
"Appliance dimensions" section of this
manual.
If local building codes require a greater
safety distance, follow their
requirement.
If there is more than one appliance
beneath the hood and they have
different minimum safety distances
always select the greater distance.
When installing a wood or laminate
decor panel onto the cooker hood,
regard the cooktop manufacturer’s
advice on the use of easily flammable
material above the cooktop.
~i) Never connect an exhaust hood to
an active chimney, dryer vent, vent flue,
or room ventilating ductwork.
~j) Seek professional advice before
connecting an exhaust hood vent to an
existing, inactive chimney or vent flue.
~k) Any fittings, sealant, or materials
used to install the ductwork must be
made of approved non-flammable
materials.
,WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE USE ONLY METAL
DUCTWORK.

Guide to the appliance / Operation

The range hood operates
...inairextraction mode:
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filters and then directed outside.
If your air extraction system does not
have a non-return flap, one is
provided with the range hood.
A non-return flap in the ventilation
system ensures that when the range
hood is shut off no unwanted exchange
can occur between room air and
outdoor air.
It is closed when the range hood is shut
off.
When the hood is switched on, the
non-return flap opens so that the
exhaust air can be transported
unimpeded to the outside.
...inairrecirculation mode:
The air drawn in is cleaned by the
grease filters and then by two
deodorizing filters.
The air is returned to the kitchen
through an opening in the top of the
range hood.
The deodorizing filters are available as
accessories (see "Technical data").
In recirculation operation, ensure that
the deodorizing filters are in place; see
"Care and Cleaning".
