Important information Before installation
Optimum efficiency of the extractor
hood:
❑ Short, smooth exhaust pipe.
❑ As few bends as possible.
❑ Pipe diameter as large as possible
(ideally 150 mm dia.) and wide pipe
bends.
If long, rough exhaust-air pipes, many
pipe bends or smaller pipe diameters
are used, the air extraction rate will no
longer be at an optimum level and there
will be an increase in noise.
❑
Round pipes
Short exhaust air pipe:
inside diameter min. 120 mm,
Longer exhaust air pipe:
inside diameter min. 150 mm.
❑
Flat ducts must have an inside
cross-section equivalent
to that of
the round pipes.
There should be no sharp bends.
ø 120 mm dia. approx. 113 cm
2
ø 150 mm dia. approx. 177 cm

❑ If pipe diameters differ, insert sealing
strip.
❑ Ensure that there is an adequate air
supply for exhaust air mode.
ṇ Old appliances are not worthless
rubbish. Valuable raw materials can be
reclaimed by recycling old appliances.
Before disposing of your old appliance,
render it unusable.
ṇ You received your new appliance in a
protective shipping carton. All packaging
materials are environmentally friendly and
recyclable. Please contribute to a better
environment by disposing of packaging
materials in an environmentally-friendly
manner.
Please ask your dealer or inquire at your
local authority about current means of
disposal.
ṇ The extractor hood can be used in
exhaust air or circulating air mode.
ṇ Always mount the extractor hood over
the centre of the hob.
ṇ The minimum distance between the
hob and the lower edge of the extractor
hood is
650 mm.
ṇ The extractor hood must not be
installed over a solid fuel cooker – a
potential fire hazard (e.g. flying sparks) –
unless the cooker features a closed, non-
removable cover and all national
regulations are observed.
ṇ The smaller the gap between the
extractor hood and hotplates, the greater
the likelihood that droplets will form on the
underside of the extractor hood.
Additional information concerning
gas cookers:
ṇ When installing gas hotplates, comply
with the relevant national statutory
regulations (e.g. in Germany: Technische
Regeln Gasinstallation TRGI).
ṇ Always comply with the currently valid
regulations and installation instructions
supplied by the gas appliance
manufacturer.
ṇ Only one side of the extractor hood
may be installed next to a high-sided unit
or high wall. Gap at least 50 mm.
