WARNING
When the hood is operated in exhaust-air mode simultaneously with
a different burner which also makes use of the same chimney (such as
gas, oil or coal-fired heaters, continuous-flow heaters, hot-water boilers)
care must be taken to ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh
air which will be needed by the burner for combustion.
This can be achieved if combustion air can flow through non-lockable
openings, e.g. in doors, windows and via the air-intake/exhaust-air wall
box or by other technical measures, such as reciprocal interlocking, etc.
WARNING
Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning – Provide adequate air intake so
combustion gases are not drawn back into the room.
An air-intake/exhaust-air wall box by itself is no guarantee that the
limiting value will not be exceeded.
Note: When assessing the overall requirement, the combined
ventilation system for the entire household must be taken into
consideration. This rule does not apply to the use of cooking
appliances, such as cooktops and ovens.
