WARNINGS
INSTALLATION
• The manufacturer does not assume responsibility for damage due to erroneous or incorrect installation.
• The minimum safety distance between the cooktop and the exhaust hood is 650mm (some models may be
installed lower, refer to the sections on dimensions and installation).
• Verify, that the available mains voltage complies with the rated voltage of the exhaust hood indicated on the
product label inside the appliance.
• In case of appliances with class I. contact protection, verify, whether the household power supply provides
adequate earth protection.
• Connect the exhaust hood to an exhaust duct with a pipe of at least 120mm diameter. Keep the length of
the exhaust duct to the minimum, as much as possible.
• Do not connect the exhaust hood to the flue of appliances, which produce combustion products, or exhaust
gases (gas heaters, fireplaces, etc.).
• If the exhaust hood is used with appliances other than electric (e.g. stove with gas burner), adequate
ventilation must be ensured within the room, in order to prevent the backflow of exhaust gases. The kitchen
should have an opening directly connected to outdoor air, to ensure the entry of fresh air.
If the kitchen exhaust hood is used with appliances powered by other sources, than electricity, the negative
pressure within the room may not exceed the 0.04 mbar value, in order to prevent the reverse suction of
smoke and gases indoors by the exhaust hood.
• In event of damage to the supply cable, the cable must only be replaced by the manufacturer or at an
authorized service location, to avoid any potential risks.
• In case the installation instructions of a stove with a gas burner specifies a greater installation height, that
distance shall be applied. Always observe the requirements applicable to air replacement.
