Exhaust-air mode
❑ A central ventilation system extracts
kitchen vapours and passes them
through the grease filter to the outside.
For this to work the building’s ventilation
system must be operating and the air
flap open in the extractor hood.
❑ The grease filter absorbs the solid
particles in the kitchen vapours.
❑ The kitchen is kept almost free of grease
and odours.
D
When the extractor hood is operated
in exhaust-air mode simultaneously with
a different burner which also makes use
of the same chimney (such as gas, oil or
coal-fired heaters, continuous-flow heaters,
hot-water boilers) care must be taken to
ensure that there is an adequate supply
of fresh air which will be needed by the
burner for combustion.
Exhaust-air mode
Safe operation is possible provided that the
underpressure in the room where the
burner is installed does not exceed 4 Pa
(0.04 mbar).
This can be achieved if combustion air can
flow through non-lockable openings, e.g. in
doors, windows and via the air-
intake/exhaust-air wall box or by other
technical measures, such as reciprocal
interlocking, etc.
If the air intake is inadequate, there is a
risk of poisoning from combustion gases
which are drawn back into the room.
An air-intake/exhaust-air wall box by itself is
no guarantee that the limiting value will not
be exceeded.
Note: When assessing the overall
requirement, the combined ventilation
system for the entire household must be
taken into consideration. This rule does not
apply to the use of cooking appliances,
such as hobs and ovens.
If you encounter a problem
If you have any questions or if a fault
occurs, please call Customer Service.
(See list of Customer Service
representatives).
Check first whether the building’s central
ventilation system is operating and the air
flap is open in the extractor hood.
When you call, please quote the following:
E-Nr. FD
Enter the relevant numbers into the box
above. The E-Nr. (product no.) and FD
(production date) are shown on the
nameplate which can be seen inside the
extractor hood after the filter frame has
been detached.
