outlet
The outlet should, under no circumstances, be
connected to a duct which is also being used
for other purposes.
The air can be discharged directly outside
through the wall opening, provided this is
protected by a grid to shield against rain and
leaves, etc.
The grid should not restrict the outlet hole by
more than 20%.
We advise the fitting of the widest possible
outlet duct. A smaller diameter will result in a
lower extraction capacity and a higher noise
level.
Ensure that the connections fit well.
Aluminium or plastic tape can be used to
connect the pipes.
Bends in the duct will have a negative
influence on the extracting capacity and
should therefore be avoided as much as
possible.
ATAG provides accessories for extractor
ducts of extractor hoods. A list of the product
assortment and the relevant type numbers
can be found in the model/price list.
preliminary notes
general
An extractor hood should be installed in
accordance with national and local
regulations.
These state, for example, that the distance
between the bottom of the extractor hood and
a gas cooking appliance should be at least
75 cm. For electric cooking appliances, this
distance should be at least 65 cm.
please note:
When an extractor hood and a heat source
(e.g. gas, oil, coal stoves, etc.) requiring air
are used together in the same room, attention
is required since the hood may exhaust the
necessary combustion air creating a
depression in the room. Maximum depression
allowed in the room is 4 Pa in order not to
pipe exhaust gas from the heat source into
the room. To ensure this condition, an air
source is necessary in the room to feed the
room constantly with fresh air.
electrical connection
When making the electrical connections,
make sure the current socket has an earth
wire connection and check if the voltage
corresponds with the rating plate inside the
hood.
After the extractor hood has been installed,
the socket should be easily accessible so that
the appliance can be switched off. When
connecting the appliance to the mains supply,
national regulations must always be observed.
