Connection for air extraction

 I
f this cooker hood is used at the
same time as a heating appliance
that relies on oxygen from the same
room there is a risk in certain
circumstances of toxic fumes
building up.
It is essential that the "Warning and
Safety" instructio
ns are observed.
The cooker hood should be installed
acc
ording to local and national
building regulations. Seek approval
from the building inspector where
necessary.
 Use smoo
th or flexible ducting made
from approved non-flammable
materials for exhaust ducting.
 T
o achieve the most efficient air
extraction with the lowest noise
levels, please note the following:
– To ensure efficient air extraction, the
diamet
er of the exhaust ducting
should not be less than 150 mm.
– If flat ducting is being used, the cross
section must not be smaller than the
cr
oss sectional area of the exhaust
connection.
– The exhaust ducting should be as
sho
rt and straight as possible.
– Only use wide radius bends.
– The exhaust ducting must not be
kin
ked or compressed.
– Ensure that all connections are
str
ong and airtight.
Remember that any constriction of
the ai
r flow will reduce extraction
performance and increase operating
noise.
 If the e
xhaust is ducted through an
outside wall, a telescopic wall vent or
a roof vent (available as an optional
accessory) is recommended.
 If the e
xhaust air is to be ducted into
a flue, the ducting must be directed
in the flow direction of the flue.
 When ducting is horizontal it must be
lai
d to slope away at at least 1 cm
per metre. This is to ensure that
condensate cannot drain back into
the appliance.
 If the e
xhaust ducting is to run
through rooms, ceiling space etc.
where there may be great variations
in temperature between the different
areas, the problem of condensation
will need to be addressed. The
exhaust ducting will need to be
suitably insulated.
