CAUTION

Danger of injury. The chimney skirts may have

some sharp edges.

Exhaust operation

• During exhaust operation, the range hood

removes air from a room. If other re sources

that require the surrounding air for combustion

are being operated in the same room, (e.g. gas,

oil or coal heaters), the oxygen they require is

taken away. Thus ﬂames could be suffocated

and gas could leak out or the fumes could be

drawn back into the room.

• In order to guarantee a safe operation, there

should be non-closable openings in doors,

windows to ensure a fresh supply of combustion

air. This will prevent the combustion fumes from

being drawn back into the room.

• When assessing the measures necessary,

always take the entire ventilation system of the

house into consideration.

• Never secure the range hood to a ventilation

duct, or a room or exhaust gas chimney! Do

not let the air that is removed from the room be

drawn into a duct where warm air is circulating.

The extracted air should only be drawn outdoors

through a separate ventilating duct that is only

for the extractor hood.

• When in extraction mode, air in the room is

being removed by the range hood. Please make

sure that proper ventilation measures are being

observed. The range hood removes odors from

room but not steam.

as appliances burning gas or other fuels (not

applicable to appliances that only discharge the

air back into the room).
