Any constriction of the airflow will re-
duce extraction performance and in-
crease operating noise.
If the exhaust is ducted through an
outside wall, a telescopic wall vent or
a roof vent (available as an optional
accessory) is recommended.
If the exhaust air is to be ducted into
a flue, the ducting must be directed in
the flow direction of the flue.
Where ducting is horizontal, it must
be laid to slope away at at least 1 cm
per metre. This is to ensure that con-
densate cannot drain back into the
cooker hood.
If the exhaust ducting is to run
through rooms, ceiling space etc.
where there may be great variations
in temperature between the different
areas. The problem of condensation
will need to be addressed. The ex-
haust ducting will need to be suitably
insulated.
Condensate trap
In addition to insulating the exhaust
ducting, we recommend that a suitable
condensate trap is also installed to col-
lect and evaporate any condensate
which may occur.
Condensate traps for 125mm or
150mm ducting are available as op-
tional accessories.
When installing a condensate trap,
ensure that it is positioned vertically
and as closely as possible above the
exhaust socket.
The arrow on the housing indicates
the direction of air-flow.
