WARNING
When the hood is operated in exhaust-air mode 
simultaneously with a different burner which also 
makes use of the same chimney (such as gas, oil or 
coal-fired heaters, continuous-flow heaters, hot-water 
boilers) care must be taken to ensure that there is an 
adequate supply of fresh air which will be needed by 
the burner for combustion. 
Safe operation is possible provided that the under 
pressure in the room where the burner is installed 
does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).
This can be achieved if combustion air can flow 
through non-lockable openings, e.g. in doors, 
windows and via the air-intake/exhaust-air wall box or 
by other technical measures, such as reciprocal 
interlocking, etc.
WARNING
Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning – Provide adequate 
air intake so combustion gases are not drawn back 
into the room.
An air-intake/exhaust-air wall box by itself is no 
guarantee that the limiting value will not be exceeded.
Note: When assessing the overall requirement, the 
combined ventilation system for the entire household 
must be taken into consideration. This rule does not 
apply to the use of cooking appliances, such as 
cooktops and ovens.
CAUTION
For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust 
hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an 
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of 
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the 
electric current. 
This appliance is equipped with a cord having a 
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must 
be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and 
grounded.
WARNING
Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric 
shock. Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding 
instructions are not completely understood, or if 
doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly 
grounded. Do not use an extension cord. If the power 
supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician 
install an outlet near the appliance.
