●Regulations on fuel-burning systems specify a maximum depression of 0.04 bar in such rooms.

●Hoods can only be used safely with appliances connected to a chimney if the room and/or flat (air/environment combination) is ventilated from outside using a suitable ventilation hole approxi- mately 500-600 cm2 to avoid the possibility of a depression being created during operation of the hood.

If you have any doubts, contact the relevant controlling authority or building inspector’s office.

●Since the rule for rooms with fuel burning appliances is “outlet hole of the same size as the ventilation hole”, a hole of 500-600 cm2, which is to say a larger hole, could reduce the performance of the extractor hood.

●If the hood is used in its filtering function, it will operate simply and safely in the above conditions without the need for any of the aforementioned measures.

●When the hood is used in its extractor function, the following rules must be followed to obtain optimal operation:

—short and straight outlet hose

—keep bends in outlet hose to a minimum

—never install the hoses with an acute angle, they must

always follow a gentle curve only

— keep the hose as large as possible (120 mm Ø min.).

●Failure to observe these basic rules will drastically reduce the performance and increase the noise levels of the extractor hood.
