---|---

Delivery scope
1x aluminum grease filter, 1x 2-part chimney shaft,
1x exhaust hose, 2x non-return valve, incl. Installation material
This product contains a light source of energy efficiency class A.

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 65 – 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:

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.

WARNING:

• 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, activated carbon filter as described under “Installing the activated carbon filter
for recirculation mode”, must be used.
Activated carbon filter are not supplied. You can order the carbon filter from your dealer or in our online accessories shop,
www.bomann-germany.de. To order, use the reference number found under “Tech- nical 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.

Drilling dimensions
Unit mm

• Determine the position of the cooker hood centrally above the cooking area in accordance with the specified safety distances.

Totally 9x mounting holes with a diameter of approx. 8 mm are necessary for the wall mounting. Insert the supplied dowels [08].

• Mark the holes required for wall mounting as shown in the drawing. First specify the extension length of the shaft cover for the position of the
  bracket [04] at the upper shaft end. Check the markings with a spirit level!

• Fix the bracket [05] for the hood body with three screws ST4x30mm [09] and the brackets [03] and [04] at the pre-marked positions, each with two screws ST4x30mm [09].

• Before inserting the hood, affix the non-return valves [07] by gently bending them from above onto the exhaust duct.

For exhaust mode: Hereupon a flexible exhaust hose (included in delivery) with 150 mm inner diameter must be attached.

• Hang up the hood body onto the bracket [05]. Check the secure hold and the horizontal position and tighten two screws ST4x30mm [09] through the hood body.

For exhaust mode: Check the correct position of the exhaust hose and connect it with the outlet opening.

• Put on the telescope shaft unit and secure the lower shaft with the bracket [03].
• Pull up the inner shaft and fix the shaft cover sideways with the hood body and the bracket [04] by screwing in each two screws ST3x10mm [10].

Installing the activated carbon filter for recirculation mode

• Remove the aluminum grease filter (see “Cleaning the aluminum grease filter”).
• Place the carbon filter onto the air intake of the extraction duct. Make sure that the mounting pins on the extraction duct engage the mounting slots of the carbon filter. Turn the filter clockwise until it clicks into place.
• Reinstall the aluminum grease filter.

Electrical connection

WARNING:

• The installation to the mains supply must conform to the local standards and regulations.
• Improper connection may cause to an electric shock!
• Do not modify the appliance plug. If the plug does not fit properly to the outlet, let install a proper outlet by an authorized specialist.
