Connection for power supply
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
■
The mains plug must be as accessible
as possible during use, i.e. the plug
must be accessible even after the ex-
haust hood has been installed.
■
If the mains plug is no longer acces-
sible after installation, an all-pole dis-
connecting device complying with
overvoltage category III must be
connected to the house wiring with a
contact gap of at least 3 mm; this in-
cludes fuses, circuit breakers and con-
tactors.
■
Electrical installation may be per-
formed only by a certifi ed specialist.
If an additional socket is required,
have an electrician perform the in-
stallation.
■
Do not connect to a multiple socket
outlet, power strip, timer or to a sepa-
rate remote-controlled system for dis-
tance monitoring and control.
To ensure that the exhaust hood will perform
optimally and that no obtrusive cabling is visi-
ble afterwards, plan the connection for power
supply carefully before installation: The ex-
haust hood must be placed over the centre
of the cooking zone.
Preparations for assembly
For exhaust air operation
WARNING
Risk of suffocation/explosion!
■
Never attach the exhaust hood to a
ventilation shaft, chimney or smoke-
stack! The air being extracted must
not travel through a channel in which
warm air circulates. The extracted
air may only be released to the out-
side through a separate air channel
intended exclusively for the exhaust
hood.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to property!
■
We recommend having a specialist
carry out all preparations.
Before you can begin assembly, all of the fol-
lowing conditions must be met:
– There must be a wall or ceiling break of at
least 15.5 cm in diameter.
– If the exhaust air hose passes through an
exterior wall, the air outlet on the outside
must have a cover with self-opening slits
(not included in the package contents).
To keep subsequent energy usage as low as
possible, we recommend
– placing the exhaust air channels as straight
as possible and avoiding any sharp angles
(curves or bends are preferable). Each
bend increases energy usage.
– not reducing the cross-section of the fan
connector. The wider the diameter of the
exhaust air hose and the smoother its inte-
rior surface, the better the extraction func-
tion will be.
– selecting a ventilation conduit with exterior
shutters that can open completely during
use.
