Exhaust-air mode:
❑ The extractor-hood fan extracts the
kitchen vapours and conveys them
through the grease filter into the
atmosphere.
❑ The grease filter absorbs the solid
particles in the kitchen vapours.
❑ The kitchen is kept almost free of grease
and odours.
D
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
underpressure 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 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 hobs and ovens.

Gas hobs / Gas cookers
ṇ Do not use all the gas hotplates
simultaneously for a prolonged period
(max. 15 minutes) at maximum thermal
load, otherwise there is a risk of burns if the
housing surfaces are touched or a risk of
damage to the extractor hood. If the
extractor hood is situated over a gas hob,
operate the hood at maximum setting if
three or more gas hotplates are operated
simultaneously.
