WARNING
Risk of fire
Grease deposits in the grease filter may catch 
fire. The specified safety distances must be 
observed in order to prevent an accumulation of 
heat.  Observe the specifications for your 
cooking appliance.  If gas and electric cooktops 
are operated together, the largest specified 
distance applies.
Only one side of the appliance may be installed 
directly next to a high-sided unit or a wall.  The 
distance between the appliance and wall or 
high-sided unit must be at least 2" (50 mm).  
The minimum distance between the supporting 
surface for the cooking equipment on the hob and the 
lowest part of the range hood must be not less than 
30 " (760 mm) from electric cookers and 30 " 
(760 mm) from gas or mixed cookers.
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob 
specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to.

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.
If the exhaust air is conveyed through the outer wall, a 
telescopic wall box should be used.
Ventilation line
Note: The manufacturer does not assume any 
warranty for complaints attributable to the pipe 
section.
The device achieves its optimum performance by 
means of a short, straight exhaust air pipe and as 
large a pipe diameter as possible.
The optimum extraction performance is not 
achieved and fan noise is increased if exhaust air 
pipes are long and rough and if there is a large 
number of pipe bends or diameters less than 5
