AEG DM 8600, Operating And Installation Manual

For the installer

• When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a

150mm diameter duct.

•

When installing the hood, make sure you respect the following
minimum distance from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring
surfaces:
electric cookers

500 mm

gas cookers

650 mm

The hood can be installed above these heights but for optimum
performance it should be installed at the distance quoted for the
appropriate heat source.

• The national Standard on fuel-burning systems specifies a maximum

depression of 0.04 mbar in such rooms.

• The air outlet must not be connected to chimney flues or combustion

gas ducts. The air outlet must under no circumstances be connected
to ventilation ducts for rooms in which fuel-burning appliances are
installed.

• The air outlet installation must comply with the regulations laid down

by the relevant authorities.

• When the unit is used in its extractor version, a sufficiently large

ventilation hole must be provided, with dimensions that are approxi-
mately the same as the outlet hole.

• National and regional building regulations impose a number of

restrictions on using hoods and fuel-burning appliances connected
to a chimney, such as coal or oil room-heaters and gas fires, in the
same room.

• Hoods can only be used safely with appliances connected to a

chimney if the room and/or flat (air/environment combination) is
ventilated from outside using a suitable ventilation hole approxi-
mately 500-600 cm

 large to avoid the possibility of a depression

being created during operation of the hood.

• If you have any doubts, contact the relevant controlling authority or

building inspector’s office.

• Since the rule for rooms with fuel burning appliances is “outlet hole

of the same size as the ventilation hole”, a hole of 500-600 cm

,

which is to say a larger hole, could reduce the performance of the
extractor hood.

• If the hood is used in its filtering function, it will operate simply and

safely in the above conditions without the need for any of the
aforementioned measures.

• When the hood is used in its extractor function, the following rules

must be followed to obtain optimal operation:
