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.
Risk of damage from condensation back flow. Install 
exhaust vent at a slight downward slope away from the 
appliance (1° slope).
Appliance Handling Safety
Unit is heavy and requires at least two people or proper

Electric Safety
WARNING
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.
WARNING
Before you plug in an electrical cord or turn on power 
supply, make sure all controls are in the OFF position.
