INFORMATION

• Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhaustion of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Ductless fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
• When assessing the air pressure, the entire ventilation system in the house/apartment must be taken into account.
• All legal regulations must be observed for the conveyance of exhaust air. If the extractor hood is used in recirculating mode with the optional carbon filter, there are no operating restrictions.
• Make sure the vent option knob is set correctly
