General Information
A clearance of at least 30 cm must be maintained between the pan support area on the hob and the
bottom of the cooker hood. If the instructions for installation of the hob specify a larger clearance, this is
to be maintained.
The exhaust air ducts may not be connected to combustion exhaust gas chimneys (for example central
heaters, heaters, bathroom heaters, etc.).
Official regulations must always be observed the exhaust air is discharged. Furthermore, the exhaust air
may only be lead through a hole in the wall if the hole is intended for this purpose.
Attention!
Care must be taken when an extraction cooker
hood and a heating system operating on ambient
air (e.g. gas, oil or coal heaters, flow heaters or hot
water boilers) since extracting the air through the
cooker hood will remove the air from the room in
which these heaters are installed and which they
need for combustion purposes. Operation will only
be safe if, in the case of simultaneous operation of
a hood and a heater requiring ambient air, negative
pressure in the room in which the heater and the
hood are installed does not exceed 0.04 mbar, thus
ensuring that the exhaust gases of the heaters will
not be re-absorbed. The room must be fitted with
ventilation connections which ensure a constant
inflow of fresh air.
ATTENTION: This appliance must be earthed.
Make sure that the socket of electrical connections is earthed. In the case of electrical connection a
check will need to be carried out to ensure that the voltage level of the mains power supply complies with
the voltage levels indicated on the nameplate located on the inside of the appliance. If your hood has not
been fitted with a permanently connected cable with a plug or another device to enable universal
disconnection with a contact opening of at least 3 mm, suitable cut-off devices will need to be provided
for permanent connection. When installing the hood make sure that the plug is accessible if your hood
is fitted with a mains supply cable with a plug.
The hood must be disconnected from the mains power supply before it is cleaned or before any
maintenance work is carried out.
