Important safety information
Read these instructions carefully. Only then will
you be able to operate your appliance safely and
correctly. Retain the instruction manual and
installation instructions for future use or for
subsequent owners.
The appliance can only be used safely if it is
correctly installed according to the safety
instructions. The installer is responsible for
ensuring that the appliance works perfectly at its
installation location.
The width of the extractor hood must
correspond at least with the width of the hob.
For the installation, observe the currently valid
building regulations and the regulations of the
local electricity and gas suppliers.
When conveying the exhaust air, official and
legal regulations (e.g. state building regulations)
must be followed.
Risk of death!
Risk of poisoning from flue gases that are drawn
back in. The exhaust air must not be conveyed
into a functioning smoke or exhaust gas flue or
into a shaft which is used to ventilate installation
rooms that contain heating appliances. If the
exhaust air is to be conveyed into a non-
functioning smoke or exhaust gas flue, you must
obtain the consent of the heating engineer
responsible.
Danger of death!
Risk of poisoning from flue gases that are drawn
back in.
Always ensure adequate fresh air in the room if
the appliance is being operated in exhaust air
mode at the same time as room air-dependent
heat-producing appliance is being operated.
Room air-dependent heat-producing appliances
(e.g. gas, oil, wood or coal-operated heaters,
continuous flow heaters or water heaters) obtain
combustion air from the room in which they are
installed and discharge the exhaust gases into
the open air through an exhaust gas system (e.g.
a chimney).
In combination with an activated vapour
extractor hood, room air is extracted from the
kitchen and neighbouring rooms - a partial
vacuum is produced if not enough fresh air is
supplied. Toxic gases from the chimney or the
extraction shaft are sucked back into the living
space.
▯
Adequate incoming air must therefore
always be ensured.
▯
An incoming/exhaust air wall box alone will
not ensure compliance with the limit.
Safe operation is possible only when the partial
vacuum in the place where the heat-producing
appliance is installed does not exceed 4 Pa
(0.04 mbar). This can be achieved when the air
needed for combustion is able to enter through
openings that cannot be sealed, for example in
doors, windows, incoming/exhaust air wall
boxes or by other technical means.
In any case, consult your responsible Master
Chimney Sweep. He is able to assess the
house's entire ventilation setup and will suggest
the suitable ventilation measures to you.
Unrestricted operation is possible if the vapour
extractor hood is operated exclusively in the
circulating-air mode.
Danger of death!
Risk of poisoning from flue gases that are drawn
back in. If installing a ventilation system in a
room with a heat-producing appliance
connected to a chimney/flue, the electricity
supply to the hood must be equipped with a
suitable safety switch.
