Otherwise, you have to expect increased noise and decreased performance of
your appliance.
5. The proper maximum bending angle outwards is 120°.
6. Use smooth tubes or flexible, non-inflammable exhaust hoses only.
7. When the exhaust duct is connected horizontally, a minimum falling gradient of
1 cm/m or an inclination of 2° is required. Otherwise, condensate will get into
the motor of the hood.
8. When an exhaust duct is used, the ending of the exhaust hose must be adjusted
into the direction of flow.
9. If the exhaust duct passes through cool areas (e.g., an attic), a temperature
gradient may occur in the different parts of the exhaust duct so condensate will
be generated. Proper insulation of the corresponding parts of the exhaust duct
will then be needed. Equip such an exhaust duct with a condensate trap if need
be.
10. Depending on the model the hood is equipped with one (top) or two (top,
back) outlets. The idle outlet

is covered by a plastic cap. You can remove this
cap by turning it anticlockwise. Use the cap to cover the idle outlet.
2.2 Minimum distances
Strictly observe the minimum distance between hood and hob.
It is also absolutely necessary to observe the individual minimum
distances to extractor hoods which are specified in the instruction manual
of your hob / oven / etc.
REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTANCE HOOD TO
ceramic-glass rings / hotplates
min. 65 cm
gas cookers
min. 75 cm
coal / oil / stove wood firing
min. 85 cm
The minimum distances do not represent the required total height, but a
minimum value generated by adding the height of the hob (floor ↔ hob) and the
required minimum distance of the hob to the extractor hood (hob ↔ extractor
hood)
