Operation

Using a cooker hood at the same time as another heating appliance that depends on the air from the room

Great care should be taken when using the cooker hood at the same time and in the same room or area of the house as another heating appliance which depends on the air in the room. Such appliances include gas, oil, wood or coal-fired boilers and heaters, continuous flow or other water heaters, gas hobs, cookers or ovens which draw air in from the room and duct exhaust gases out through a chimney or extraction ducting. When used in extraction mode, with or without an external motor fitted, the appliance draws air in from the room in which it is installed and from neighbouring rooms. If there is insufficient air, an underpressure will occur. The heating appliance may be starved of oxygen, impairing combustion.

Harmful gases such as carbon monoxide could be drawn out of the chimney or extraction ducting back into the room, with potentially fatal consequences. In order to ensure safe operation, and to prevent gases given off by the heating appliances from being drawn back into the room when the extractor and the heater are in operation simultaneously, an underpressure in the room of 0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the maximum permissible.

Ventilation can be maintained by air inlets that cannot be blocked, in windows, doors and outside wall vents, or by other technical measures, such as ensuring that the extractor can only be switched on when the heating appliance is switched off or vice-versa. A ventilation brick alone is not generally sufficient to ensure safe ventilation. The overall ventilation condition of the dwelling must be taken into account. If in any doubt, the advice of a competent builder or, for gas, a “Corgi” installer, must be sought.

The control module enables the following:

Connection to a window contact switch
If adequate ventilation to the room can only be ensured by having a window open, then the control module can be used to connect a window contact switch to the appliance. Once connected the cooker hood can only be operated when the window is sufficiently open. Take care when ventilating the room through an open window that ventilation is not impaired by a closed blind or curtain.
If the control module is ever uninstalled please make sure that the cooker hood’s functionality is maintained. The contact switch should only be deactivated by a ser-vice technician.
Potential free connection
This enables another appliance to be controlled according to the switch setting on the cooker hood fan. For instance, to ensure a sufficient supply of fresh air, to switch on an air intake fan, or to open a motorised inlet flap as soon as the cooker hood fan is switched on. It is important to ensure that the fan power is sufficient and that the air intake has a suitable cross- sectional diameter.
Connection to a light switch
The control module can also be used to switch the cooker hood lighting on via a light switch in the house.

Electrical connection

Window contact switch

A window contact switch can be connected to terminal 1 on the control module.

When the window is closed (window contact switch open) the cooker hood fan cannot be switched on. The indicator lamp for the On/Off touch control on the cooker hood will flash.

The cooker hood fan can only be switched on when the window is open (window contact switch closed) and sufficient air can be drawn into the room. The same applies to operations with an external fan motor. The cooker hood lighting is not affected by this. The connection cable between the window contact switch and the cooker hood must not exceed 25 m. The window contact switch must be tested for safety after it has been connected.

Additional light switch

(connection must be made a suitably qualified electrician only)

Before connecting to an additional light switch the lid of the control module has to be taken off. It is refitted later.
The connection can be made to a light switch in the home via the middle terminal2 in the control module. This will then enable the cooker hood lighting to be switched on and off, or dimmed. If the hob lighting is activated by an external lightswitch, the canopy tilts forwards and the hob lighting is switched on. If the hob lighting is switched off, the canopy remains open. The feature lighting cannot be operated via the control module. The lighting can still be operated as usual via the controls on the cooker hood. If a window contact switch has not been connected to the control module, terminal 1 will have to be bridged.

Potential free contact.

(connection must be made a suitably qualified electrician only)

Before connecting to an additional light switch the lid of the control module has to be taken off. It is refitted later.
Potential free contact can be made using terminal 1 on the control module. This enables another appliance to be controlled according to the switch setting on the cooker hood fan. If a window contact switch has not been connected to the control module, terminal 1 will have to be bridged.Because contact 3 supplies no defined voltage (it is potential-free) it can be used anywhere.

In the illustration shown the potential free contact is used to switch on an air intake fan as soon as the cooker hood is switched on, and thus ensure an adequate supply of fresh air into the room. All connected components must be tested for safety after they have been connected.

Installation

These installation instructions describe the steps required when fitting the module with a new (not yet installed) cooker hood. See also the Operating instructions and the installation diagram for the DA 6000 W. Miele-DA6000W-
