AEG 8361 D Manuel D’Utilisation

• The national Standard on fuel-burning systems specifies a maxi-

mum depression of 0.04 mbar in such rooms.

• The air outlet must not be connected to chimney flues or combus-

tion gas ducts. The air outlet must under no circumstances be
connected to ventilation ducts for rooms in which fuel-burning
appliances are installed.

• The air outlet installation must comply with the regulations laid down

by the relevant authorities.

• When the unit is used in its extractor version, a sufficiently large

ventilation hole must be provided, with dimensions that are approxi-
mately the same as the outlet hole.

• National and regional building regulations impose a number of

restrictions on using hoods and fuel-burning appliances connected
to a chimney, such as coal or oil room-heaters and gas fires, in the
same room.

• Hoods can only be used safely with appliances connected to a

chimney if the room and/or flat (air/environment combination) is
ventilated from outside using a suitable ventilation hole approxi-
mately 500-600 cm

 large to avoid the possibility of a depression

being created during operation of the hood.

• If you have any doubts, contact the relevant controlling authority or

building inspector’s office.

• Since the rule for rooms with fuel burning appliances is “outlet hole

of the same size as the ventilation hole”, a hole of 500-600 cm

,

which is to say a larger hole, could reduce the performance of the
extractor hood.

• If the hood is used in its filtering function, it will operate simply and

safely in the above conditions without the need for any of the
aforementioned measures.

• When the hood is used in its extractor function, the following rules

must be followed to obtain optimal operation:
— short and straight outlet hose
— keep bends in outlet hose to a minimum
— never install the hoses with an acute angle, they must always

follow a gentle curve.

— keep the hose as large as possible (preferably the same diam-

eter as the outlet hole).

• Failure to observe these basic instructions will drastically reduce the

performance and increase the noise levels of the extractor hood.
