WARNING
This appliance must be grounded. Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

• Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
• Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
• USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
• To reduce risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air outside. DO NOT vent exhaust air in spaces with walls or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces or garages.
• When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

⚠ I MPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• The blower must be attached at least 78¾” (200 cm) from the extractor hood.
• When attaching the outer wall blower, ensure that it is accessible for maintenance and repairs.
• The plug-and-socket connections of the electric cables must be located inside the building, according to local codes.
• DO NOT reduce the 6” (152 mm) diameter of the ducting connected to the extractor hood.

Exhaust-air mode
Exhaust air should not be directed into a smoke or exhaust flue that is currently used for other purposes, nor into a shaft that is used for ventilating rooms in which stoves or fireplaces are also located.
Exhaust air must be discharged in accordance with official and statutory regulations only (e.g. national building regulations).
Local regulations must be observed when discharging air into smoke or exhaust flues that are not otherwise in use. When the extractor hood is operated in exhaust-air mode simultaneously with a different burner which also makes use of the same chimney (such as gas, oil or coal-fired heaters, continuous-flow heaters, hot-water boilers), care must be taken to ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh air, which will be needed by the burner for combustion.
Safe operation is possible provided that the under pressure in the room where the burner is installed does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).
This can be achieved if combustion air can flow through non-lockable openings, e.g. in doors, windows and via the air-intake/exhaust-air wall box or by other technical measures, such as reciprocal interlocking, etc.
If the air intake is inadequate, there is a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning from combustion gases which are drawn back into the room.
An air-intake/exhaust-air wall box by itself is no guarantee that the limiting value will not be exceeded.
NOTE: When assessing the overall requirement, the combined ventilation system for the entire household must be taken into consideration. This rule does not apply to the use of cooking appliances, such as ranges and ovens.
Refer to the installation manual for important safety instructions. Use gloves when installing blower unit.

Installing the integral blower

NOTE: Blower and hood image views will vary depending on model.

1. Thread one (x1) 4m flange nut (included with the hood) half-way down each of the two weld studs indicated.

2. Slide the blower mounting plate behind the nuts on the weld studs.

3. Install two (x2) 4m flange nuts (included with hood) to the top weld studs and tighten.

4. Tighten the two (x2) nuts from step 1 to fully secure the blower to the hood.

5. Connect the blower’s plug connector to the connector present inside the hood.
