13.6 Information on the installation situation
¡ Install this appliance on the kitchen wall.
¡ To install additional special accessory parts, ob-

¡ 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.

13.7 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.
Flat ducts
Use flat ducts with an inner cross-section that corres-
ponds to the diameter of the round pipes:
¡ Diameter of 150 mm corresponds to ap-
prox. 177 cm².
¡ Diameter of 120 mm corresponds to ap-
prox. 113 cm².
¡ Use sealing strips for different pipe diameters.
¡ Do not use any flat ducts with sharp bends.
Round pipes
Use round pipes with an inner diameter of 150 mm (re-
commended) or at least 120 mm.
13.8 Instructions for the air extraction mode
For air extraction mode, a one-way flap should be in-
stalled.
Notes
¡ If a one-way flap is not included with the appliance,
one can be ordered from a specialist retailer.
¡ If the exhaust air is conveyed through the external
wall, a telescopic duct should be used.
13.9 Information about circulating-air mode
The appliance must only be operated when it is se-
curely installed and the pipework is connected.
13.10 General information

¡ 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.
