Warning and Safety instruction
Important: To avoid the danger of toxic
fumes please observe the Warning
and Safety instructions. This is
especially crucial when using the
cooker hood at the same time as
another heating appliance, which
relies on air from the same room. The
cooker hood should be installed
according to local and national
building regulations. Seek approval
from the building inspector where
necessary.
– All ducting, pipe work and fittings
must be of non-flammable materials.
– The exhaust ducting should be as
short and straight as possible.
– To ensure efficient air extraction, the
diameter of the exhaust ducting
should not be less than 125 mm.
If exhaust ducting with a diameter of
less than 150 mm, or if flat ducting is
used, the noise level of the cooker
hood will increase and extraction will
be less efficient.
Never reduce the diameter of the
ducting, e.g. where narrower ducting
has already been installed.
– Only use wide radius bends. Tight
bends reduce the air throughput of
the cooker hood.
– Only use smooth pipes or flexible
hoses made from non-flammable
materials for extraction connection.
– If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
a vent flue, the ducting must be
directed in the flow direction of the
flue.
Warning:
Luxair will not exchange or repair
damaged hoods caused by incorrect
ducting being fitted, the minimum
ducting must not be smaller than
125mm. never use ducting previously
installed from your last extractor unit.
