WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a.) Installation work and electrical wiring must be
done by qualified person(s) in accordance with
all applicable codes and standards, including
fire-rated construction.
b.) Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion
end exhausting of gases through the flue
(chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent
back drafting. Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer's guideline and safety standards
such as those published by the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA), and the
American Society for Heating, Refrigeration
and Air Conditioning (ASHRAE), and the local
code authorities.
c.) When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do
not damage electrical wiring and other hidden
utilities.
d.) Ducted fans must always be vented to the
outdoors.
e.) NEVER place a switch where it can be reached
from a tub or shower.
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE
ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
WARNING:
The applicable regulations of the energy supply
companies and the regional construction
regulations must be observed when installing the
hood.
Minimum distance between electric cooktop and
bottom edge of hood: 18 1/2" (47 cm)
Minimum distance on gas cooktops between the
upper edge of the grate and lower edge of the
hood: 26" (65 cm)
Connection possibilities
The wall hood was conceived for the exhaust air or
air recirculation mode. The exhaust air can be
routed into a separate exhaust air shaft or directly
into the open through the outside wall.
It is not allowed to pass the exhaust air into a flue
or exhaust air chimney that is in operation or into a
shaft that is linked to the heating basement.
Consult the chimney sweep responsible for your
district whenever you wish to pass the exhaust air
into a chimney that is not in operation.
During the course of planning, a chimney sweep
must be consulted if a room air-dependent hearth
is operated in the same room as the one in which a
hood is operated in the exhaust air mode. Adequate
incoming air must be ensured. The applicable
construction and safety regulations must be
observed.
Adequate incoming air must be ensured if a wood,
coal, gas or oil heater or an open hearth is operated
in the same room as the one in which the hood is
installed.
Safe operation is possible whenever the partial
vacuum in the place where the firing equipment
is installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).
This can be achieved whenever the air needed for
combustion is able to enter through openings that
cannot be sealed, for example in doors, windows,
incoming/exhaust air wall boxes or other technical
means.
Grounding Instructions
The appliance must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk
of electric shock by providing an escape wire for
the electric current. This appliance is equipped with
a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
WARNING – IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN
RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Consult a qualified electrician if the
grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply
cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install
an outlet near the appliance.
