CAUTION
Ensure that there are no electric wires, gas or 
water pipes in the area where holes are to be 
made.
Checking the ceiling
The ceiling must be flat, horizontal and adequately 
load-bearing.
The depth of the bore holes must be the same 
length as the screws. The wall plugs must have a 
secure grip.
The enclosed screws and wall plugs are suitable for 
solid brickwork. Suitable fasteners must be used 
for other structures (e.g. plasterboard, porous 
concrete, poroton bricks).
The max. weight of the extractor hood is 
198 lbs 
(90 kg)
.

WARNING
Risk of death
Risk of poisoning from flue gases that are drawn 
back in. The exhaust air must not be conveyed 
into a functioning smoke or exhaust gas flue or 
into a shaft that is used to ventilate installation 
rooms that contain heating appliances. If the 
exhaust air is to be conveyed into a non-
functioning smoke or exhaust gas flue, you must 
obtain the consent of the heating engineer 
responsible.
Exhaust air mode
Note: Ventilation may not exit through an already 
operational smoke or exhaust chimney, nor a duct used 
for ventilating furnace installation areas.
If the ventilation is intended to pass through a 
smoke or exhaust that is not in operation, the 
responsible area heating inspector must give 
approval.
If the ventilation passes through an external wall, 
use a telescope wall sleeve.
Ventilation line
Note: The appliance manufacturer does not assume any 
warranty for complaints attributable to the pipe section.
The appliance achieves its optimum performance 
with a short, straight exhaust air pipe and as large a 
pipe diameter as possible.
As a result of long rough exhaust air pipes, many 
pipe bends or pipe diameters that are smaller than 
6" (150 mm), the optimum extraction performance is 
not achieved and fan noise is increased.
The pipes or hoses for laying the exhaust air line 
must be made of non-combustible material.
Use sealing strip for deviating pipe diameters.
An inner diameter of 6" (150 mm), but at least 4¾" 
(120 mm), is recommended.
NOTICE: Risk of damage from condensation back flow. 
Install exhaust vent at a slight downward slope away 
from the appliance (1° slope).
