2. INSTALLATION
The diameter of the exhaust hose must
meet the diameter of the connecting
ring.
If your appliance is equipped with a car-
bon filter, remove the carbon filter befo-
re you operate the appliance in the ex-
traction mode. The carbon filter should
be used in the recirculating mode only.
The exhaust duct should be as short and
straight as possible.
The diameter of the exhaust hose should
be at least 150 mm (look at chapter
TECHNICAL DATA). Otherwise you
have to expect increased noise and de-
creased performance of your appliance.
The proper maximum bending angle
outwards is 120°.
Use smooth tubes or flexible, nonin-
flammable exhaust hoses only.
When the exhaust duct is connected ho-
rizontally, a minimum falling gradient of 1 cm/m or an inclination of 20° is
required. Otherwise condensate will get
into the motor of the hood.
When an exhaust duct is used, the en-
ding of the exhaust hose must be adjus-
ted into the direction of flow.
If the exhaust duct passes through cool
areas (e.g. an attic), a temperature gra-
dient may occur in the different parts
of the exhaust duct so condensate will
be generated. Proper insulation of the
corresponding parts of the exhaust duct
will then be needed. Equip such an
exhaust duct with a condensate trap if
need be.
Depending on the model the hood is
equipped with one ( top ) or two ( top,
back ) outlets.
The idle outlet is covered by a plastic
cap. You can remove this cap by turning
it anticlockwise. Use the cap to cover
the idle outlet. 1.
