IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
When the 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 under
pressure 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.
WARNING
Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning – Provide adequate
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 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
cooktops and ovens.
CAUTION
For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust
hazardous or explosive materials and vapors.
Risk of damage from condensation back flow. Install
exhaust vent at a slight downward slope away from the
appliance (1° slope).

Electric Safety
WARNING
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.
WARNING
Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric
shock. Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if
doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded. Do not use an extension cord. If the power
supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician
install an outlet near the appliance.
