installation
some preliminary remarks
An extractor hood should be installed in accordance with
national and local regulations. The minimum distance
between the underside of the extractor hood and the hob
should be:
- 65 cm for a ceramic hob;
- 70 cm for a gas hob;
- 75 cm for a hob with wok burner.
The appliance should be connected by a registered fitter.
Damage arising from incorrect connection or incorrect
fitting is not covered by the guarantee.
NB:
If an extractor hood and a heat source (for example, gas-,
oil- or coal-fired cookers) which take air from the same
room are in use at the same time, there is a possibility that
the extractor hood will cause an underpressure in that room.
The maximum permitted underpressure is 4 Pa, so that no
combustion gases from the heat source can find their way
back into the room. For this reason, an air supply is required
- to provide a constant supply of fresh air to the room.
electrical connection
The extractor hood's plug should be accessible after fitting
or the extractor hood should be isolated by a bipolar switch
with 3 mm plug pins.
If the connection cable is damaged, it should be replaced by
the service department of the manufacturer or similarly
qualified persons in order to prevent dangerous situations
from arising.
