Important notes about the extraction mode
WARNING
Risk of poisoning from exhaust gases sucked back. Never operate the device in extraction
mode simultaneously with an open flue appliance when there is not adequate airflow gua-
ranteed.
Open flue combustion equipment (for example, gas, oil, wood or coal-fired heaters, tankless water heaters,
water heaters) pulls combustion air from the room and runs it through an exhaust pipe or chimney to the
outside. In the extraction mode, indoor air is removed from the kitchen and the adjacent rooms - without suf-
ficient air intake this creates a vacuum. Toxic gases from the chimney or extraction flue can thereby be sucked
back into the living spaces.
• Always ensure that a sufficient supply of fresh air is guaranteed and that the air can circulate.
• An air supply / extractor box alone does not ensure compliance with the limit value.
Safe operation is only possible when the negative pressure in the room where the appliance is located does
not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). This can be achieved when the air required for combustion can flow through
openings that are not closable, for example in doors, windows, in conjunction with an air supply / extractor box
or through other technical measures. In any case, consult a qualified chimney sweep who can assess the entire
ventilation of your house and propose appropriate measures for adequate ventilation.
If the hood is used exclusively in the recirculation mode, unrestricted operation is possible.
WARNING
Fire hazard from flying sparks. Only install equipment on a fireplace for solid fuels (for example,
wood or coal), if a closed, non-removable cover is available.
