Installation
8.2 Important information befo-
re installing the appliance:
• Clean the environment thoroughly
before and after installation so that
no dust or construction debris can be
sucked in during initial operation.
• Only install the unit in a suitable
location.
• Check the ceiling for load-bearing ca-
pacity: It must be able to bear a weight
of min. 120kg and be min. 30mm thick.
• Check the routing of electrical and
other cables on and in the wall or cei-
ling so that they are not drilled into.
• Check the condition and load-bearing
capacity of the electrical cables.
The installation of the appliance by a
specialist is recommended.
On installation, the minimum distance
between the hob and the hood must be
exactly complied with (see “Installation
data“) and follow the description of the
work steps under „Mounting the hood“
and all further instructions.
In the execution with air exhausted out-
doors, the vapours are extracted via an
air exhaust hose fixed to the connector
ring.
• The diameter of the exhaust air hose
must conform to that of the connector
ring.
• The exhaust air hose must not be led
through a shaft together with gas
pipes, hot air pipes etc.
• Route the exhaust hose as straight as
possible away from the hood.
The maximum permissible bend to the
outside is 120°.
• If a smoke non-return valve is used or
is planned, check whether it can open
and close freely after the installation of
the exhaust air hose.
The extractor hood can be equipped
with one (top) or two (top and back)
extractor openings.
The hood is normally initially fitted out
for use of the top extractor opening, as
an
extractor hood
.
Openings not required are fitted with a
plastic cover. This plastic cover can be
easily removed by turning counterclock-
wise and optionally fitted to another ope-
ning which is not required.
