17.4 Instructions for the electrical
connection
In order to safely connect the appliance to the elec-
trical system, follow these instructions.
WARNING ‒ Risk of electric shock!
It must always be possible to disconnect the appliance
from the electricity supply. The appliance must only be
connected to a protective contact socket that has been
correctly installed.
▶
The mains plug for the mains power cable must be
easily accessible after the appliance is installed.
▶
If this is not possible, an all-pole isolating switch
must be integrated into the permanent electrical in-
stallation according to the conditions of overvoltage
category III and according to the installation regula-
tions.
▶
The permanent electrical installation must only be
wired by a professional electrician. We recommend
installing a residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB)
in the appliance's power supply circuit.
¡
The connection data can be found on the rating
plate. →
¡
This appliance complies with the EC interference
suppression regulations.
¡
The appliance corresponds to protection class 1.
You should therefore only use the appliance with a
protective earth connection.
¡
Do not connect the appliance to the power supply
during installation.
¡
Ensure that the protection against contact is guaran-
teed during installation.
17.5 Information on the installation situation
¡
Install this appliance in a worktop.
¡
To install additional special accessory parts, ob-
serve the enclosed installation instructions.
¡
The width of the extractor hood must correspond at
least with the width of the hob.
¡
To optimally detect the cooking vapours, install the
appliance in the middle of the hob.
17.6 Instructions for the exhaust air pipe
The appliance manufacturer does not provide any war-
ranty for faults attributable to the pipeline.
¡
Use a short, straight exhaust air pipe with as large a
pipe diameter as possible.
¡
Long, rough exhaust air pipes, many pipe bends or
small pipe diameters reduce the suction power and
increase the fan noise.
¡
Use an exhaust pipe that is made of non-combust-
ible material.
¡
To prevent condensate from returning, fit the ex-
haust pipe with a 1° gradient from the appliance.
Flat ducts
Use flat ducts with an inner cross-section that corres-
ponds to the diameter of the round pipes:
¡
Diameter of 150 mm corresponds to ap-
prox. 177 cm².
¡
Use sealing strips for different pipe diameters.
¡
Do not use any flat ducts with sharp bends.
Round pipes
Round pipes with an inner diameter of 150 mm.
17.7 General information
Follow these general instructions during the installation.
¡
For the installation, observe the currently valid build-
ing regulations and the regulations of the local elec-
tricity and gas suppliers.
¡
When discharging the exhaust air, the official and
legal regulations, such as the regional building
code., must be observed.
¡
The surfaces of the appliance are sensitive. Avoid
damaging them during installation.

Ventilation moulding
If the downdraft ventilation is operating beside a gas
appliance, you must fit the ventilation moulding onto
the gas appliance during cooking. The ventilation
moulding improves the extraction behaviour of gas ap-
pliances. The ventilation moulding prevents small
flames from being extinguished by the draught of air.
WARNING ‒ Risk of fire!
The downdraft ventilation may draw in the flame from
gas burners. The grease deposits in the grease filter
may catch fire. Small flames may go out.
▶
If you are operating the downdraft ventilation next to
a gas-fired appliance, fit the ventilation moulding on
the gas-fired appliance. The ventilation moulding
prevents the downdraft ventilation from drawing in
flames.
Flush installation
With the flush installation, the appliance and worktop
are on one level. There is no unattractive stepping
between the appliance and the worktop.
You can install the appliance in the following
temperature-resistant and waterproof worktops:
¡
Stone worktops
¡
Plastic worktops, e.g. Corian®
¡
Solid wood worktops
