Installation Step 1: EXHAUST-AIR MODE Equipment Needed • Drill and Bit • Screwdriver • Rubber Mallet Equipment Included • Anchors (4) • Screws (4) • Connector WARNING Turn off power circuit at service panel and lock out panel before wiring this appliance. Allow the appliance to cool after the power has been turned off before servicing the appliance. Exhaust air should not be directed into a smoke or exhaust flue that is currently used for other purposes, nor into a shaft that is used for ventilating rooms in which stoves or fireplaces are also located. Exhaust air must be discharged in accordance with official and statutory regulations only (e.g. national building regulations). Local regulations must be observed when discharging air into smoke or exhaust flues that are not otherwise in use. When the extractor hood is operated in exhaust-air mode simultaneously with a different burner which 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 burner for combustion. Safe operation is possible provided that the underpressure in the room where the burner is installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). This can be achieved if combustion air can flow through non-lockable openings, e.g. in doors, windows and via the air-intake/exhaust-air wall box or by other technical measures, such as reciprocal interlocking, etc. If the air intake is inadequate, there is a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning from combustion gases which are drawn back into the room. An air-intake/exhaust-air wall box by itself is no guarantee that the limiting value will not be exceeded. NOTE: When assessing the overall requirement, 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 ranges and ovens. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • Attach the inner wall blower inside the building only, but not in living rooms. • When attaching the inner wall blower, ensure that it is accessible for maintenance and repairs. • The plug-and-socket connections of the electric cables must be located inside the building, according to local code. • DO NOT reduce the 10" (254 mm) diameter of the pipes connected to the extractor hood except when used with downdraft systems. • DO NOT install the blower - outdoors. - in an environment with dripping water. - near flammable materials. - in rooms which may contain gas or other fuels. Step 2: PREPARING THE WALL • The wall must be flat and perpendicular. • Ensure that the wall is capable of providing a firm hold for mounting screws and anchors.
