13.5 General information
Follow these general instructions during the installation.
¡ For the installation, observe the currently valid build-
ing regulations and the regulations of the local elec-
tricity and gas suppliers.
¡ When discharging the exhaust air, the official and
legal regulations, such as the regional building
code., must be observed.
¡ In order to freely access the appliance for servicing,
select an easy-to-reach installation site.
¡ The surfaces of the appliance are sensitive. Avoid
damaging them during installation.
13.6 Instructions for the electrical
connection
In order to safely connect the appliance to the elec-
trical system, follow these instructions.
WARNING ‒ Risk of electric shock!
It must always be possible to disconnect the appliance
from the electricity supply. The appliance must only be
connected to a protective contact socket that has been
correctly installed.
The mains plug for the mains power cable must be
▶
easily accessible after the appliance is installed.
If this is not possible, an all-pole isolating switch
▶
must be integrated into the permanent electrical in-
stallation according to the conditions of overvoltage
category III and according to the installation regula-
tions.
The permanent electrical installation must only be
▶
wired by a professional electrician. We recommend
installing a residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB)
in the appliance's power supply circuit.
Sharp-edged components inside the appliance may
damage the connecting cable.
Do not kink or trap the connecting cable.
▶
¡ The connection data can be found on the rating
plate. → Page 22
¡ The connecting cable is approx. 1.30 m long.
¡ This appliance complies with the EC interference
suppression regulations.
¡ The appliance corresponds to protection class 1.
You should therefore only use the appliance with a
protective earth connection.
¡ Do not connect the appliance to the power supply
during installation.
¡ Ensure that the protection against contact is guaran-
teed during installation.
13.7 Information on the installation situation
¡ Install this appliance on the kitchen wall.
¡ To install additional special accessory parts, ob-
serve the enclosed installation instructions.
¡ The appliance must be installed with no more than
one side directly next to a tall unit, an upper cabinet
or a wall. The distance between the appliance and
the tall cabinet, upper cabinet or the wall must be at
least 50 mm.
¡ The width of the extractor hood must correspond at
least with the width of the hob.
¡ To optimally detect the cooking vapours, install the
appliance in the middle of the hob.
13.8 Instructions for the exhaust air pipe
The appliance manufacturer does not provide any war-
ranty for faults attributable to the pipeline.
¡ Use a short, straight exhaust air pipe with as large a
pipe diameter as possible.
¡ Long, rough exhaust air pipes, many pipe bends or
small pipe diameters reduce the suction power and
increase the fan noise.
¡ Use an exhaust pipe that is made of non-combust-
ible material.
¡ To prevent condensate from returning, fit the ex-
haust pipe with a 1° gradient from the appliance.
13.9 Instructions for the air extraction mode
For air extraction mode, a one-way flap should be in-
stalled.
