EXHAUST-AIR MODE:
❑
The hood fan extracts the kitchen vapors
and conveys them through the grease
filter into the atmosphere.
❑
The grease filter absorbs the solid
particles in the kitchen vapors.
❑
The kitchen is kept almost free of grease
and odors.
D
When the hood is operated in
exhaust-air mode simultaneously with a
different burner which also makes use of
the same chimney
(such as gas, oil or
coal-fired heaters, continuous-flow heaters,
hot-water boilers) care must be taken to
ensure that there is an adequate supply
of fresh air
which will be needed by the
burner for combustion.
Safe operation is possible provided that the
under pressure in the room where the
burner is installed does not exceed 4 Pa
(0.04 mbar).
This can be achieved if combustion air can
flow through non-lockable openings, e.g. in
doors, windows and via the air-intake/
exhaust-air wall box or by other technical
measures, such as reciprocal interlocking,
etc.
CAUTION
Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning –
Provide adequate air intake so
combustion gases are not drawn back
into the room.
An air-intake/exhaust-air wall box by itself is
no guarantee that the limiting value will not
be exceeded.
Note: When assessing the overall require-
ment, the combined ventilation system for
the entire household must be taken into
consideration. This rule does not apply to
the use of cooking appliances, such as
cooktops and ovens.
TRANSPORTATION PROTECTION
DEVICE:
❑
The transportation protection device
prevents the canopy from moving.
❑
Check that the installer has removed the
transportation protection device (see
installation manual).
❑
Please retain the transportation
protection device for possible future
need.
Gas Cooktops / Gas Ranges:
CAUTION
Avoid risk of burns or damage to extractor
hood.
Do not use all gas burners simultaneously
at high settings for a prolonged period
(max.15 minutes).
If the hood is located over a gas cooktop,
operate the hood at maximum setting
whenever three or more gas burners are
being used.
