RANGE HOOD WITH OUTSIDE
DISCHARGE
In this version, the fumes and steam from the kitchen are conveyed outside
through an exhaust duct.
The exhaust conveyor that protrudes from the upper part of the range hood
must be connected to a duct that carries the fumes and steam outside. In this
version, the charcoal filters, if fitted, should be removed; to do this, see the
instructions in point F. There must be adequate ventilation of the room when
the range hood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other
fuels, according to the standard.
Deviation for Germany:
When the range hood and appliances supplied with energy other than elec-
tricity are simultaneously in operation, the negative pressure in the room
must not exceed 4 Pa (4x10 E-5 bar).
F
RECIRCULATING RANGE
HOOD
In this version, the air passes through charcoal filters for purification, and is
then recirculated back into the kitchen.
Check that the charcoal filters are fitted to the motor, and if not, install them
as described in the instructions in point H.
If the hood is of filtering type, remove the non-return valve fitted at the mo-
tor's outlet.
For maximum efficiency, the third speed should be used when there are
strong odours or a lot of steam, the second speed in normal conditions, and
the first speed for keeping the air clean with minimum energy consumption.
The range hood should be switched on when starting to cook, and left on
until the odours disappear.
