Functional description
The hood offers two modes of
operation:
Air extraction
Recirculation mode
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filters and directed outside.
Air is drawn through the grease filters
and an active charcoal filter. The
filtered air is then recirculated back into
the kitchen through a vent at the top of
the hood’s chimney.
The hood comes equipped with a
non-return flap. This flap automatically
closes when the hood is turned off so
that no exchange of outside air and
room air can occur. When the hood is
turned on, the air pressure of the
exhaust fan automatically opens the
flap blowing the inside air and cooking
odors outside.
The recirculation mode requires an
install kit and charcoal filter which are
optional accessories.
Before using the hood in
recirculation mode, ensure that the
active charcoal filter is in place, see
"Cleaning and care".

Cleaning and Care
,WARNING
Avoid:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
– cleaning agents containing soda,
acids or chlorides,
– abrasive cleaning agents
e.g. powder or cream cleansers,
– abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers
or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive

"Cleaning the casing" instructions.
,The halogen bulbs are very hot
when in use. They stay hot for some
time after turned off. Use caution,
danger of burns.
Wet cleaning the hot bulbs will
cause damage.
Special instructions for stainless
steel surfaces
Wait a few minutes after turning
them off before cleaning.
(not applicable to the controls)
Cleaning the casing
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using a non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner.
Never use abrasive cleaners,
scouring pads, steel wool or caustic
(oven) cleaners on the hood. They
will damage the surface.
To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner

^ All external surfaces and controls can
be cleaned with a mild solution of
warm water and liquid dish soap
applied with a soft sponge.
Special instructions for colored
casings (RAL)
(Special order)
It is very difficult to clean this type of
surface without causing minor marks to
the surface material. This can become
particularly noticeable with darker
colors and if there is halogen lighting in
the kitchen.
Do not use too much water when
cleaning the controls. Water could
penetrate the electronics and cause
damage.
^ Wipe dry using a soft cloth.

– Be sure to follow the minimum safety distances given by the gas cooktop
manufacturer to easily flammable materials e.g. upper cabinets.
– If local building codes require a greater safety distance, follow their requirement.
– If there is more than one appliance beneath the hood and they have different
minimum safety distances always select the greater distance.
See "Important Safety Instructions" for further information.
– To ensure free access to work under the ventilation hood, a distance of a
minimum of 26" (660 mm) above the electric cooktop is also recommended.
– Take the user's body height into consideration when selecting the installation
height. Adequate work space at the cooktop and optimal operation of the
ventilation system should be ensured.
– However, the greater the distance from the cooktop, the less effectively cooking
odors are drawn in.
– If the top of the hood will be mounted flush to the ceiling, regard the possible
unit height when selecting the installation height.

Plywood backing
^ Find the studs to the left and right of
the mounting location by tapping the
wall or using a stud finder.
The majority of the weight of the
installed ventilation system will be
supported by the lower retaining
plate. It must be firmly attached to
the stud framing behind the drywall.
If studs are not available in the
required locations, a plywood
backing (min. ½" (13 mm) thick)
spanning at least two studs must be
installed. Failure to adequately
support the weight as stated may
result in the ventilation system falling
off the wall, causing personal injury
and property damage.
^ Mark a vertical cutting line along the
center of each stud.
,CAUTION
When cutting or drilling into the wall
or ceiling, do not damage electrical
wiring and other hidden utilities.
^ Remove the drywall between the
cutting lines and replace it with
plywood of a matching thickness
(min. ½" (13 mm) thick). Tape the
joints and refinish the wall.
(If plywood backing is not needed,
proceed to the included "Installation
diagram".)
^ Proceed to the enclosed "Installation
diagram" to complete the installation.
To install a plywood backing
^ Determine and mark the location of
the retaining plate for the canopy as
outlined on the "Installation diagram".
^ Make a cutting line 3" (76 mm) above
and 3" (76 mm) below the outline of
the retaining plate.

Air extraction
Exhaust ducting and connections
,WARNING
Use smooth or flexible pipework made
from approved non-flammable
materials for exhaust ducting.
Danger of toxic fumes.
Gas cooking appliances release
carbon monoxide that can be
harmful or fatal if inhaled.
To reduce the risk of fire and to
properly exhaust air, the exhaust
gases extracted by the hood
should be vented outside of the
building only.
To achieve the most efficient air
extraction and quietest noise levels,
consider the following:
– The diameter of the ductwork should
not be less than 6" (150 mm).
– If flat ducting is used, the cross
section must not be smaller than the
cross section of the ventilation
exhaust.
Do not vent exhaust air into
spaces within walls or ceilings or
in attics, crawl spaces or garages.
– The ducting should be as short and
straight as possible.
– Use ductwork with a wide radius.
To reduce the risk of fire, only use
metal ductwork.
– The exhaust duct must not be bent
or compressed.
Please read and follow the
– Make sure all connections are
secure.
"IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS" to reduce the risk of
personal injury. Follow all local building
codes when installing the hood.
– Where the ductwork is horizontal, it
must slope away from the hood at
least 1/8" per foot (1 cm per meter) to
prevent condensation dripping into
the appliance.
– If the exhaust is ducted through an
outside wall, a Telescopic Wall Vent
can be used.

Air extraction
Condensate trap
optional accessory
– If the exhaust is ducted into an
inactive flue, the air must be expelled
parallel to the flow direction of the
flue.
Never connect an exhaust hood to
an active chimney, dryer vent, flue,
or room venting ductwork. Seek
professional advice before
connecting an exhaust hood vent to
an existing, inactive chimney or vent
flue.
In some cases, a condensate trap may
also be required to collect and
evaporate any condensate which may
occur. This optional accessory is
available for ducts 5" (125 mm) and 6"
(150 mm) in diameter.
Important
If the ductwork runs through rooms,
ceilings, garages, etc. where
temperature variations exist, it may
need to be insulated to reduce
condensation.
When installing a condensate trap,
ensure that it is positioned vertically
and if possible directly above the
exhaust outlet.
