(for ducting versions)

! Prepare the hole and the air vent duct (150 mm dia-

meter).

! Use a duct of the minimum indispensible length.

! Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum

elbow angle: 90°).

! Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.

! Use a duct with an as smooth as possible inside.

! The duct must be made of certified material.

! Do not connect the hood to smoke exhaust ducts

for the products of combustion (boilers, fireplaces,

stoves, etc).

! For the air vents comply with the provisions laid down

by the competent authorities.

In addition, the air must not be evacuated through a

hole in the wall unless specifically intended for this

purpose.

! Fit air intakes in the room to prevent the hood from

creating a negative pressure in the room (which must

not exceed 0.04 mbar); if the hood is used at the

same time as non-electrical equipment (gas-, oil- and

charcoal-fired stoves, etc.) the exhaust gas may be

sucked in by the heat source.

FIlTerING or dUcTING VerSIoN ?

The hood may be in filtering or in ducting version. Deci-

de from the outset which type is to be installed.

For better efficiency, we recommend installing the hood

in the ducting version (if possible).

ducting version

The hood purifies the air and evacuates it to the outside

through an exhaust duct (diameter 150 mm).

Filtering version

The hood purifies the air and recycles the clean air

back into the room.
