External Exhaust Mode ( - see also installation sheet) Cooking fumes and vapours are conveyed outside through a duct connected to the hood by means of a collar. The outlet duct diameter must be the same as that of the collar. If a flue-damper is to be installed, check that it can open and close freely when installation of the exhaust duct is complete. The hood can be supplied with one (upper) or two (upper and rear) exhaust outlet holes. A The hood is usually set up for using the upper exhaust outlet.  The collar must be seated in the upper exhaust outlet. Use the rear exhaust outlet (where present). [. . . ]  Where fitted, remove the cover closing off the rear outlet and collar.  Some models are fitted with a plastic deflector that closes off the rear outlet.  Put the cover (if fitted) in the upper outlet. Warning!If the hood has a carbon filter, this should be removed. Check that the switch inside the hood (if fitted) is in position “A” Extractor; if not, set it to this position.
