Connection for air extraction
–Where ducting is horizontal, it must be laid to slope away at at least 1 cm per metre. This is to ensure that condensate cannot drain back into the rangehood.
–If the exhaust air is to be ducted into the open air, the installation of a telescopic wall vent or roof vent (available as an optional accessory) is recommended.
Condensate trap
(optional accessory)
–If the exhaust air is to be ducted into a vent flue, the ducting must be directed in the flow direction of the flue.
Important:
If the exhaust ducting is to run through rooms, ceiling space etc. where there may be great variations in temperature between the different areas, the problem of condensation will need to be addressed. The exhaust ducting will need to be suitably insulated.
For installations in areas where the exhaust ducting is exposed to cold temperatures, we recommend insulating the exhaust ducting and installing a condensate trap to collect and evaporate any condensate which may occur. Condensate traps are available for 125 mm or 150 mm ducting.
When installing a condensate trap, ensure that it is positioned vertically and, if possible, directly above the exhaust connection. The arrow on the housing indicates the direction of
rangehoods designed for use with an external motor (...EXT models) have an integrated condensate trap.
