2. Preparation
The hood must be installed in a cabinet. It is recommended that the cabinet is taken off the wall to
ensure easier accessibility through installation. An opening has to be cut into the cabinet floor. The
depth of this opening is 290mm. The width 440mm or 540mm, depending on the model. The opening
is to be placed in the floor so that the lower part of the slider hood does not surmount the side walls
of the cabinet after installation and the front panel is at same height as closed cupboard door.
The attachment is made to a second board, which is installed at the appropriate height. The height of
this board is 204mm from the lower edge of the cabinet to the lower edge of this board. An opening
for exhaust air has to be cut out from this board at the appropriate place with a 150mm diameter. It
is recommended to make this opening a bit larger in order to compensate measure inaccuracies.
The hood is attached to 4 retaining holes, which are equipped with threads. The place, where these
holes need to be placed and drilled have to be measured. The air discharged from the hood needs to
be removed from the cabinet, regardless of whether it is used in recirculation or exhaust mode.
Therefor it is necessary to cut out an exhaust vent in the cabinet ceiling at the same place as on the
intermediate board. Through this, either the exhaust hose leads to the wall outlet or in recirculation
mode, a pipe or hose connection leads out of the closet.
3. Installation
Have you completed the above preparations, put the plastic adapter
on the air outlet of the hood, put the hood through the floor opening
inside the hood and screw the hood in place.
After that create the air connection inside the cabinet for the exhaust
air. If you have removed the cabinet from the wall for mounting, this
must now be hung up again. As last step please connect the hood to
the power supply.
Usage
Inserting and changing the carbon filter
For recirculation mode we recommend the use of a carbon filter, which frees the cooking fumes from
the smell. The carbon filter consists of two charcoal-filled cassettes, mounted left and right to the
suction opening of the engine. For mounting please check picture.
To mount the carbon filter, please take the following steps:
1. First remove the metal grease filters
2. Place the charcoal filter on both sides of the motor in front of the
suction openings
3. In the middle of the filter is a receptacle and on the fan a suitable
insert
4. If the filter is seated correctly, you can fix it with a small twisting
motion
5. Then reinsert the grease filter
The matching carbon filter for this model is called GE15
