Installation recommendations
– When selecting an installation height,
always take the user height into
consideration. Users should have
ample space to work comfortably on
the cooktop and reach the ventilation
hood controls with ease.
– Please note that the greater the
distance from the cooktop, the less
effective the hood is at drawing in the
cooking vapors.
– To achieve optimal vapor extraction,
make sure that the hood covers the
cooktop. The hood should be
positioned centrally over the
cooktop, not to the side or rear.
– The cooktop should be no wider than
the hood. Preferably, it should be
narrower.
– The mounting area must be easily
accessible. The ventilation hood
should be easy to reach and
disassemble in case a service call is
necessary. This should be taken into
consideration when planning the
position of cupboards, shelves,
ceilings or decorative elements in the
vicinity of the ventilation hood.
Structural support
The hood must be attached to rigid
structural framing that is supported
in its entirety by the ceiling joists, or
to the ceiling joists directly. Do not
attach the plate directly to the ceiling
with anchors, toggle bolts, etc.
Removing the protective film
The housing components are covered
by a protective film to prevent them
from becoming damaged during
transport.
Please remove this film before
installing the housing components. It
can be peeled off easily without any
additional tools.

Draw two intersecting lines on the
ceiling.
For vented mode:
– Place a section of the exhaust
ducting in the ceiling and feed it
down through the cross-sectional
area as illustrated. Exhaust ducting of
approx. 8" (200 mm) length is
required between the ceiling and the
hood exhaust socket.
– Secure the exhaust ducting to the
exhaust socket, e.g. with a hose clip
(available as an optional accessory)
on flexible ducting.
Place the power cord and guide it
through the ceiling in the area shown.
A power cord approx. 12" (300 mm)
in length is required between the
ceiling and the hood connectors.

Installation
34
Use a knife to release the four
spacers and the two covers from the
spacer frame supplied.
Use the spacer frame as a drilling
template. Place it on the ceiling with
the arrows pointing forwards. Using
the notches, align the spacer frame
on the intersecting lines and make
pencil marks for the drill holes.
Drill four holes ³/₈" (10 mm),
approx. 4 ¹/₂" (115 mm) deep for the
plugs supplied.
Place the four plugs in the holes and
screw in the four screws so that they
protrude by approx. 1 ³/₁₆" (30 mm).

Installation
35
Loosen the two telescopic extension
piece holders from the installation
frame.
The spacer frame can be installed
between the chimney and the ceiling.
This creates a shadow which gives the
illusion of a gap between the ceiling
and the chimney. This is useful if the
ceiling is not level or is uneven. The
hood is aligned vertically with the
spacers supplied. Visual irregularities
between the chimney and the ceiling
are then concealed by the shadow.
If you wish to install the hood with the
spacer frame, remove the four inserts
from the fixing holes.

Installation
36
Mount the spacer frame onto the
installation frame. Hang the hood on the four screws,
making sure the controls are at the
front.
If using the spacer frame, place the
two covers into the fixing holes.

Installation
37
Align the installation frame and
secure it with the screws.
The spacers, which were removed
from the spacer frame at the start,
can be used to align the hood
vertically.
Place the exhaust ducting onto the
exhaust socket.
Connect the power cord. See
"Electrical connection."

Installation
38
Remove the grease filters from the
hood.
Remove the safety screw for the
tower on the inside of the frame.
Push the tower and the telescopic
extension piece upwards and bend
the retaining tabs outwards again to
prevent the tower and telescopic
extension piece from slipping down
again.

Installation
39
Fit the four telescopic extension
piece holders between the tower and
the telescopic extension piece. The
internal telescopic extension piece
rests on the clamps. When the
screws are tightened, the telescopic
extension piece holders spread out
and push the telescopic extension
piece upwards.
Tighten the screws only until the top
edge of the telescopic extension
piece is evenly aligned with the
ceiling or the spacer frame.
When the canopy is lowered, the safety
distance to the cooker may not be
exceeded (see "Appliance
dimensions"). The height range for the
appliance can be extended or limited
by moving the limit switch.
Press the button.
The canopy will be lowered to its fullest
extent.
Check the distance to the cooker.
If the safety distance is undershot, the
limit switch must be readjusted.
Loosen the top limit switch.

Exhaust duct
42
WARNING: Danger of toxic fumes.
Gas cooking appliances release
carbon monoxide that can be
harmful or fatal if inhaled.
To reduce the risk of fire and to
properly exhaust air, the exhaust
gases extracted by the hood should
be vented outside of the building
only.
Do not vent exhaust air into spaces
within walls or ceilings or in attics,
crawl spaces or garages.
To reduce the risk of fire, only use
metal ductwork.
Please read and follow the
"IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS" to reduce the risk
of personal injury. Follow all local
building codes when installing the
hood.
Only use smooth pipes or flexible
duct hoses made from non-
flammable materials for exhaust
ductwork.
To achieve the greatest possible air
extraction with the lowest noise
levels, please note the following:
– The diameter of the exhaust duct
should not be less than 6" (150 mm).
– If flat exhaust ducts are used, the
cross section should not be smaller
than that of the exhaust connector.
– The exhaust duct should be as short
and straight as possible.
– If elbows are needed, make sure they
have a large radius.
– The exhaust duct itself must not be
kinked or compressed.
– Make sure that all connections are
secure and airtight.
Remember that any constriction of
the airflow will reduce extraction
performance and increase operating
noise.
If the exhaust duct is to be routed
through an outside wall, we
recommend installing a telescopic
wall vent or a rooftop vent (available
as an optional accessory).
If the exhaust air is to be conducted
into a vent flue, the intake piece must
be aligned with the flow direction of
the flue.
When installing the exhaust duct
horizontally, you must slope it away
from the source by at least ³/₈" per
3 ³/₈" (1 cm per meter). This ensures
that condensate cannot drain back
into the ventilation hood.
If the exhaust duct is to be routed
through rooms, ceiling space etc., the
temperatures in these different areas
may differ greatly, which means that
the problem of condensation will
need to be addressed. The exhaust
duct will need to be insulated.

Exhaust duct
43
Condensate trap
In addition to insulating the exhaust
duct, we recommend installing a
condensate trap to collect and
evaporate any condensate which might
accumulate.
Condensate traps are available for
exhaust ducts with a diameter of 5"
(125 mm) or 6" (150 mm).
When installing a condensate trap,
make sure that it is positioned
vertically and, if possible, directly
above the hood outlet duct collar.
The arrow on the housing indicates
the direction of airflow.
