4. Lighting

Delivery scope
2x aluminum grease filter, 1x connecting piece with non-return valves, 1x cover for extraction outlet,incl. Installation material and drilling template This product contains a light source of energy efficiency class G.

Installation

The cooker hood is only intended to be installed over a hob with no more than four hob elements. There must be a safety distance between the hotplate of the cooking pot on the hob and the bottom part of the cooker hood: The distance must be between 60 – 75 cm. For gas appliances, the distance must be at least 65 cm. If the installation instructions for the gas cooker specify a greater distance, this distance must be taken into consideration.

Selecting the fume outlet
You can operate the cooker hood in two modes. To do this, turn the lever located on the motor fan unit in the corresponding position.

A: Extraction mode (outdoor air ventilation)

B: Recirculation mode (Indoor air ventilation)

Set the connection piece for the extraction mode A and the outlet cover for the recirculation mode B onto the air outlet. Read the instructions that we give you in “Assembly” as well.

Extraction mode

WARNING:

• The extracted air may not be vented into a flue which is used for the waste gas from appliances which are powered by gas or other fuels.
• When venting the extracted air, comply with the regulations of the relevant local authorities.

The hood has an upper air outlet to vent cooking odors to the outside.

• The extracted air is normally vented vertically. The extracted air can vented through the wall units and the loft floor to the roof ridge.
• If there is a conduit under the wall units, the extraction duct can be routed so that the extracted air can be vented horizontally through the wall.

Recirculation mode
If you do not have a direct extraction vent to the outside; the hood can also work in recirculation mode (i.e. without an extraction vent to the outside; the filtered air is released back into the room). In this case, an activated carbon filter mat as described under “Installing the activated carbon filter mat for recirculation mode”, must be used. Activated carbon filter mat is not supplied. You can order the carbon filter mat from your dealer or in our online accessories shop, www.bomann-germany.de. Use the reference number found under “Technical Data”.

Assembly

WARNING:

• When assembling or inserting the extraction filter as well as the carbon filter, the appliance must not be connected to the mains.
• Failure to use the mounting fixtures may lead to a risk of electric shock.

CAUTION:

• Before mounting, check that the wall has enough load capacity to bear the cooker hood.
• When drilling the holes in the wall always make sure that no existing electrical cables or other objects are damaged.
• Make sure that the ventilation slots are clear of obstacles and are not covered.

NOTE: Recommendations for preparation work

• When installing, ask another person to assist.
• Wear protective gloves to prevent injuries from any sharp edges.

Mounting at the wall

• Drill two mounting holes Ø 8 mm into the wall and insert the dowel pins (1). Then turn in the screws (2) so far that they project approx. 4 mm out of the wall.
• Suspend the hood and tighten the screws through the housing. Check the secure fitting and horizontally position.

Mounting below the wall unit

• Hold the hood to the specified cabinet position and draw the drilling points from the inside of the housing corresponding to the four screw holes. Check them with a spirit level!
• For extraction mode, you must also create a feed through of approx. Ø 130 mm in the base of the unit.
• If the mains cable is fed through the unit, a feed through also must be provided.
• Drill four mounting holes of Ø 4 mm through the base of the unit. Screw in the appliance with the screws including washers (3) under the wall unit and tighten the nuts (4) through the housing.
• For extraction mode insert the connecting piece with non-return valves (5) from above onto the air outlet. Thereto a flexible extraction hose (not supplied) with an inner diameter of Ø 120 mm must be fitted and connected to the outside by an extraction vent.
• For recirculation mode close the air outlet by putting on the cover (6).
• Reinstall the aluminum grease filter. Installing the activated carbon filter mat for recirculation mode
• Remove the aluminum grease filter(s) (see “Cleaning the aluminum grease filter”).
