Step 8:
• Lift the assembled range hood (1) and fix it to the
upper bracket (4) with 8 short screws (19) and
washers (12) [4 on each side] (fig. ).
• In assembling the upper bracket to lower bracket
that Dimension A on page 8 should be reference
to make the correct mounting height above the
cooktop.

Step 9:
• Fix the upper and lower chimney with 4 short
screws (fig. ).
• Secure the lower chimney to the lower bracket (5)
and upper chimney to the upper bracket (4) on
both sides with 2 short screws (19) each.
CAUTION
Danger of injury. The chimney skirts may have
some sharp edges.
Exhaust operation
• During exhaust operation, the range hood
removes air from a room. If other fire sources
that require the surrounding air for combustion
are being operated in the same room, (e.g. gas,
oil or coal heaters), the oxygen they require is
taken away. Thus flames could be suffocated
and gas could leak out or the fumes could be
drawn back into the room.
• In order to guarantee a safe operation, there
should be non-closable openings in doors,
windows to ensure a fresh supply of combustion
air. This will prevent the combustion fumes from
being drawn back into the room.
• When assessing the measures necessary,
always take the entire ventilation system of the
house into consideration.
• Never secure the range hood to a ventilation
duct, or a room or exhaust gas chimney! Do
not let the air that is removed from the room be
drawn into a duct where warm air is circulating.
The extracted air should only be drawn outdoors
through a separate ventilating duct that is only
for the extractor hood.
• When in extraction mode, air in the room is
being removed by the range hood. Please make
sure that proper ventilation measures are being
observed. The range hood removes odors from
room but not steam.
• There shall be adequate ventilation of the room
when the range hood is used at the same time
as appliances burning gas or other fuels (not
applicable to appliances that only discharge the
air back into the room).
• The air must not be discharged into a flue that
is used for exhausting fumes from appliances
burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to
appliances that only discharge the air back into
the room).
Air recirculation operation
• Recirculated air: Kitchen fumes are removed
and after purification are fed back into the room
through the upper ventilation openings. The
purification takes place via metallic anti-grease
filter. No ceiling breakthrough is required for
Recirculated air operation.
