2. SAFETY
2.1 Precautions before using
•
Do not change or alter the appliance.
•
The appliance must be grounded and connected according to local
standards.
•
Do not use any extension cable to connect it.
2.2 Using the appliance
•
When using the hood, there must always be a sufficient, continuous
supply of fresh air in the room. Fresh air can be supplied by opening a
window or outside door slightly, or by installing an inlet grille. No
matter how big the kitchen or the space with the open kitchen, the
amount of air that can be extracted is limited by the amount of air that
can be fed into it. An insufficient air supply can result in a 50% loss of
efficiency or more.
An extractor fan is usually not a major energy consumer. However, an
unnecessarily powerful motor will create a negative pressure in the
room that must be replenished with outside air. This replacement air
must be heated to room temperature. This requires energy. The
