BEFORE INSTALLATION
EXHAUST-AIR MODE
The exhaust air is discharged upwards through a duct or
directly through an exterior wall to the outdoors.
x= Exhaust air should neither be directed into a smoke or
exhaust flue (chimney) that is currently used for other pur-
poses nor into a duct that is used for ventilating rooms in
which stoves or fireplaces are also located.
Exhaust air may be discharged in accordance with
official and statutory regulations only (e.g. national
building regulations).
Local government regulations must be observed when
discharging air into smoke or exhaust flues that are not
otherwise in use.
x= When the extractor hood is operated in exhaust-air
mode simultaneously with a different heating system
that 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 heating system for combustion.
Safe operation is possible provided that the negative pres-
sure in the room where the heating system is installed
does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).
This can be achieved if combustion air can flow through
non-lockable openings, such as doors, windows and
through the air-intake/exhaust-air wall box.
WARNING - Avoid risk of poisoning -— If the air intake
is inadequate, there is a risk of poisoning from com-
bustion gases that are drawn back into the room.
Note: When assessing the overall requirements, the com-
bined 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.
Unrestricted operation is possible if the extractor hood is
used in recirculating mode - with activated carbon filters.
If the exhaust air is going to be discharged to the out-
doors, a telescopic wall box should be fitted into the out-
side wall.

For optimum hood efficiency:
Q Short, smooth ductwork.
Q) As few bends in the ductwork as possible.
Q! Diameter of ductwork to be as wide as
possible with no tight bends in Guctwork.
If using long, rough exhaust-air ductwork, several
duct elbows or ductwork with a narrower diameter,
the rate of air extraction will no longer be at an
optimum level and there will be an increase in
noise.
IMPORTANT: The manufacturer of the hood
accepts no liability for complaints which can be
attributed to the design and layout of the duct-
work.
Round duct sections:
Recommended
internal diameter: 6”/10”.
Flat ducts must have an internal cross-section equal
to that of round duct sections.
Minimum @ 6” approx. 28.3 inches’.
If ducts have different diameters:
insert sealing strip for transition.
For exhaust-air mode, ensure that there is an
acequate supply of fresh air.

BEFORE INSTALLATION

that has been installed according to relevant regulations.
if possible, place the grounded socket cirectly behind the
chimney paneling. Attach the grounded socket as close to
the appliance as possible and in an accessible location.
Q) The grounded socket should be connected to its own
circuit.
Q) if the grounded socket is no longer accessible follow-
ing installation of the extractor hood, make sure that
an electrical switch is permanently installed for turning
off the appliance.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Check your local building codes for proper method of
installation. In the U.S., if there are no applicable local
codes, this unit should be installed in accordance with the
National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70, Current Issue.
(In Canada, installation must be in accordance with the
CAN 1- 8149.1 and .2 - Installation Codes for Gas
Burning Appliances and/or local codes).
The appliance must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing a wire that allows the electric
current to escape. This appliance has a cord with a
ground wire and grounded plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.
Ay WARNING — Improper grounding can result in risk of
electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is
too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near
the appliance.
If direct wire installation of the extractor hood is nec-
essary:
rN WARNING -— Avoid risk of electrical shock — if the con-
necting cable for this appliance is damaged, the cable
must be replaced by the manufacturer or his customer
service or a similarly qualified person in order to prevent
serious injury to the user.
ELECTRICAL DATA:
Data is located on the name plate inside the appliance
after removal of the filter frame.
ZX\WARNING - Avoid risk of electric shock — Before
undertaking any repairs, always unplug the extractor hood
from the power supply.
