Information concerning structural requirements
The following instructions must be observed when cooker hoods are used in the
extraction mode:
-
In kitchens/rooms with no open fireplace, the air supply must ensure that no
negative pressure occurs in the room and that the hood can function properly.
-
Important!
Kitchens / rooms with an open fireplace, e.g. tile stoves, coal
ovens, fireplaces, etc., must always be provided with a sufficient supply of
fresh air. This is best ensured with a wall box for inlet air and exhaust air or
with a flip switch for the window.
Contact your local chimney sweep for information before making your plans.
He will have to give his approval for the hood and the inlet air and exhaust air
pipes before you put your hood into operation.
-
Under no circumstances may the hood be connected to a smoke or exhaust
gas chimney that is used for other appliances (hot water tanks, boilers,
furnaces, etc.). Chimneys used for ventilating rooms or fireplaces may not be
used for the hood.
-
Your local chimney sweep must give his approval if the hood is connected to
smoke or exhaust gas chimneys which are no longer in use.
-
Valid national building regulations must be observed.
