EXHAUST-AIR MODE:
❑ The hood fan extracts kitchen vapors and conveys
them through the grease filter and then into the air.
❑ The grease filter absorbs solid particles in the kitchen
vapors.
❑ The kitchen is kept mostly free of grease and odors.
D When the hood is operated in exhaust-air mode
simultaneously with a different heating system that
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
heating system for combustion.
Safe operation is possible provided that the negative
pressure in the room where the heating system is installed
does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).
This can be achieved if combustion air can flow through
non-lockable openings, such as doors, windows and via
the air-intake/exhaust-air wall box, or by using other
technical means, such as reciprocal interlocking, etc.
ṇ
CAUTION
Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning by providing ade-
quate 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 maximum threshold will not be exceeded.
Note: When assessing the overall requirements, 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.

burners are being used.
