Installation Before installation Before installing the appliance, read all of the information contained in this chapter and also in the "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" section. 4 extension piece holders for aligning and securing the telescopic chimney Installation parts 4 screws, 6 9/16" x 4 5/16" (7 x 110 mm) and 4 plugs, 3/8" x 3 1/8" (10 x 80 mm) for securing the ventilation hood to the ceiling (not for use in USA / CDN). The screws and plugs are designed for use in solid ceilings only.
Installation Appliance dimensions a Mounting area for the exhaust ducting and power cable. In recirculation mode, only the power cord is required.
Installation f A power cord is required to connect the hood to the socket in the ceiling. With extraction mode flexible ducting is also required. Exhaust connection 6" (150 mm) Distance between cooktop and ventilation hood (S) Provided a larger distance is not given by the manufacturer of the cooktop, follow the minimum safety distances between a cooktop and the bottom of the hood. Please also observe the information contained in the "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS" section.
Installation Installation recommendations Structural support – We also recommend a distance of at least 25 1/2" (650 mm) above electric cooktops to provide more workspace and easier cooking under the hood. – When selecting an installation height, always take the user height into consideration. Users should have ample space to work comfortably on the cooktop and reach the ventilation hood controls with ease.
Installation 8 2 5/8 5/8" 8 mm 20 m " 0 m 22 For vented mode: dai3435aus Draw two intersecting lines on the ceiling. – Place a section of the exhaust ducting in the ceiling and feed it down through the cross-sectional area as illustrated. Exhaust ducting of approx. 27 9/16" (700 mm) length is required between the ceiling and the hood exhaust socket. – Secure the exhaust ducting to the exhaust socket, e.g. with a hose clip (available as an optional accessory) on flexible ducting.
Installation Use a knife to release the four spacers and the two covers from the spacer frame supplied. Drill four holes 3/8" (10 mm), approx. 4 1/2" (115 mm) deep for the plugs supplied. Use the spacer frame as a drilling template. Place it on the ceiling with the arrows pointing forwards. Using the notches, align the spacer frame on the intersecting lines and make pencil marks for the drill holes.
Installation The spacer frame can be installed between the chimney and the ceiling. This creates a shadow which gives the illusion of a gap between the ceiling and the chimney. This is useful if the ceiling is not level or is uneven. The hood is aligned vertically with the spacers supplied. Visual irregularities between the chimney and the ceiling are then concealed by the shadow. Mount the spacer frame onto the installation frame.
Installation Hang the installation frame on the four screws. The front of the frame is marked with a "V." If using the spacer frame, place the two covers into the fixing holes. 30 Align the installation frame and secure it with the screws. The spacers, which were removed from the spacer frame at the start, can be used to align the hood vertically.
Installation Holding the installation frame securely, remove the two fixing screws and extend the installation frame to its maximum length. Replace the screws. The directional unit from recirculation kit DUI 32 (optional accessory) is installed for recirculation mode (RM): Bend the four retaining tabs on the installation frame outwards. Place the power cord inside the installation frame. Fit the directional unit as shown, noting the marking on the front.
Installation Secure the exhaust socket to the hose using a hose clip. Secure the hose to the directional unit socket using a hose clip. Check that the hose is held securely. Push the telescopic chimney over the installation frame: – with the recirculation grilles at the bottom for vented mode (AE), – with the recirculation grilles at the top for recirculation mode (RM). Bend the two retaining tabs outwards to prevent the telescopic chimney from slipping down again.
Installation Fit the four telescopic chimney clamps. When the screws are tightened, the clamps spread out and push the telescopic expansion piece upwards. Bend back the two retaining tabs. Push the chimney over the telescopic chimney and bend the retaining tabs outwards again to prevent the chimney from slipping down again. Tighten the screws only until the top edge of the telescopic chimney is evenly aligned with the ceiling or the spacer frame.
Installation A non-return flap is supplied with the hood or is already fitted in the exhaust socket of the motor unit (depending on model). With vented mode (AE) insert the non-return flap in the exhaust socket if your ducting system is not equipped with one. Recirculation mode (RM) does not require the non-return flap to be inserted. If there is one present, it should be removed.
Installation Connect the power cord. See "Electrical connection." Unscrew both screws from the installation frame again. Place the exhaust ducting onto the exhaust socket. The canopy can now be adjusted to the desired height, observing the permissible height ranges: – With vented mode: upwards as far as it will go, downwards only to the "A" marking. – With recirculation mode: upwards as far as the "U", downwards as far as it will go. Follow the instructions in "Appliance dimensions.
Installation Raise the canopy to the desired height and secure it with the screws. Hold the chimney securely, bend back the retaining tabs and carefully lower it. The chimney will locate in the cut-out in the canopy.
Installation With recirculation mode (RM) ventilation hoods, insert the OdorFree Charcoal Filter. Remove the grease filters from the hood. Insert the safety screw on the inside. Carefully remove the protective foil from the grease filters. Reinsert the grease filters.
Exhaust duct WARNING: Danger of toxic fumes. Gas cooking appliances release carbon monoxide that can be harmful or fatal if inhaled. To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, the exhaust gases extracted by the hood should be vented outside of the building only. Do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings or in attics, crawl spaces or garages. To reduce the risk of fire, only use metal ductwork.
Exhaust duct Condensate trap In addition to insulating the exhaust duct, we recommend installing a condensate trap to collect and evaporate any condensate which might accumulate. Condensate traps are available for exhaust ducts with a diameter of 5" (125 mm) or 6" (150 mm). When installing a condensate trap, make sure that it is positioned vertically and, if possible, directly above the hood outlet duct collar. The arrow on the housing indicates the direction of airflow.
Electrical connection WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: All electrical work should be performed by a qualified electrician in strict accordance with national regulations (for USA: ANSI-NFPA 70) and local safety regulations. Installation, repairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. Ensure that power to the appliance is OFF while installation or repair work is performed.
