Prior to installation

For operating in exhaust-air mode, a one-way flap should be mounted inside the extractor hood unless there is already one fitted in the outlet duct or wall ventilation box.

If no one-way flap was enclosed with the hood, it can be obtained from a specialist retailer.

Installing the one-way flap:

❑Snap the one-way flap into the air pipe.

The two lightly sprung flaps must be able to move upwards.

If the exhaust air is going to be discharged into the open, a telescopic wall box should be fitted into the outside wall.

For optimum extractor hood efficiency:

❑Short, smooth air exhaust pipe.

❑As few bends in the pipe as possible.

❑Diameter of pipe to be as large as possible and no tight bends in pipe.

If long, rough exhaust-air pipes, many pipe bends or smaller pipe diameters are used, the air extraction rate will no longer be at an optimum level and there will be an increase in noise.

❑Round pipes: We recommend

Internal diameter: 125 mm (at least 100 mm).

❑Flat ducts must have an internal cross- section that equates to that of round pipes.

There should be no sharp bends. l 100 mm approx. 178 cm2

l 125 mm approx. 113 cm2

❑If pipes have different diameters: Insert sealing strip.

❑For exhaust-air mode, ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh air.

Connecting a l 125 mm exhaust-air pipe:

❑Mount the pipe directly onto the air outlet on the hood.

Connecting a l 100 mm exhaust-air pipe:

❑Attach the reducing connector (enclosed or available from specialist retailer) to the air pipe and then attach to the exhaust-air duct.
