2.2 Exhaust circuit
Depending on the model there are three possible ways to connect this exhaust hood:
1. As exhaust hood on an exhaust duct. The cooking moisture
that is sucked in and filtered is transported upwards (B1)or,
depending on your choice, to the back (B2) and then to the
outside. This is the best method!
2. As a re-circulation exhaust hood (excluding motorless exhaust
hoods). The grease and odour will be filtered out of the
cooking moisture that is sucked in. The air that is sucked in
is not transported away but blown back into the kitchen (B1).
You will need to fit a carbon filter.
Attention! The carbon filter needs to be ordered separately.
3. As a motorless exhaust hood. This model is only suitable
for installation in combination with a mechanical ventilation
circuit.

3 Installation
3.1 General
The connection of this appliance to the electric mains must be done by an authorised
installer who is knowledgeable of the safety precautions and will carry them out. The
appliance is in compliance with European guidelines.
Important to know:
The distance between the lowest point of the exhaust hood and the gas cooker should
•
be at least 70 cm. When using an electrical cooker this distance should be at least
50 cm.
The mains voltage indicated on the dataplate on the appliance should be identical to
•
the mains voltage of the house installation.
No other appliance must be connected to the duct (such as a hot water heater or a
•
heater) when the exhaust hood is connected to an existing exhaust duct.
Please follow the local guidelines with regard to the ventilation of gas appliances.
•
The exhaust will operate best when the exhaust pipe is as short and as straight as
•
possible.
Check before starting drilling whether there is/are no installation pipe(s) present.
•
The connection pipe to the exhaust hood has a diameter of 125 mm or 150 mm.
•
We recommend that the the exhaust pipe has the same diameter.
The enclosed installation materials are suitable for reinforced concrete and brick walls.
•
Special plugs and screws may be required for other materials.
