Preparations for assembly
For exhaust air operation
WARNING
Risk of suffocation/explosion!
The air in the room where the exhaust
hood is operating is extracted by fan and
released outside. If, in this room, a fire-
place requiring indoor air – such as a gas
fire or other fuel-based heating system –
is also in use, the oxygen that is neces-
sary for combustion may also be extrac-
ted. This can result in the flame being ex-
tinguished and gas being released or the
room becoming saturated with exhaust
fumes.
Never attach the exhaust hood to a
n
ventilation shaft, chimney or
smokestack! The air being extracted
must not travel through a channel in
which warm air circulates. The extrac-
ted air may only be released to the
outside through a separate air channel
intended exclusively for the exhaust
hood.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to property!
Improper handling of the appliance can
lead to damage to property.
We recommend having a specialist
n
carry out all preparations.
Before you can begin assembly, all of the
following 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 out-
side must have a cover with self-open-
ing slits (not included in the package
contents).
To keep subsequent energy usage as low
as possible, we recommend
Preparations for assembly
– placing the exhaust air channels as
straight as possible and avoiding any
sharp angles (curves or bends are
preferable). Each bend increases en-
ergy usage.
– not reducing the cross-section of the fan
connector. The wider the diameter of the
exhaust air hose and the smoother its
interior surface, the better the extraction
function will be.
– selecting a ventilation conduit with exter-
ior shutters that can open completely
during use.
Connection for power supply
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
Touching live parts may result in severe
injury or death.
The mains plug must be as accessible
n
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 access-
n
ible after installation, an all-pole dis-
connecting device complying with
overvoltage category III must be con-
nected into the house wiring with a
contact gap of at least 3 mm; this in-
cludes fuses, circuit breakers and cov-
ers.
Electrical installation may be per-
n
formed only by a certified specialist. If
an additional socket is required, have
an electrician perform the installation.
Connect the appliance only to a prop-
n
erly installed and earthed electric
socket. Do not connect to a multi-
socket extension cable or a multi-
socket plug.
