12.6 Information on the installation
situation
¡ Install this appliance in a worktop.
¡ The width of the extractor hood must correspond at
least with the width of the hob.
12.7 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.
¡ Use sealing strips for different pipe diameters.
¡ Do not use any flat ducts with sharp bends.
Round pipes
Round pipes with an inner diameter of 150 mm.
12.8 Information about flush installation
With the flush installation, the appliance and worktop
are on one level. There is no unattractive stepping
between the appliance and the worktop.
You can install the appliance in the following
temperature-resistant and waterproof worktops:
¡ Stone worktops
¡ Plastic worktops, e.g. Corian®
¡ Solid wood worktops
Installation in compressed-wood worktops is not pos-
sible.
Have all cut-out work on the worktops carried out in a
specialist workshop in compliance with the installation
diagram. The cut-out must be neat and precise since
the cut edge is visible on the surface.
Clean and degrease the cut-out edges with a suitable
cleaning agent. When doing so, observe the usage in-
structions from the silicone manufacturer.
