4.1. Wall Mounting

Use the provided mounting material to securely attach the hood to a sturdy wall. Ensure the mounting height above the hob complies with local safety regulations and manufacturer recommendations (typically 65-75 cm for electric hobs and 75-85 cm for gas hobs).

Connect the provided drain hose (15 cm diameter) to the hood's outlet and route it to an external vent. Ensure the check valve is correctly installed to prevent backflow of air.

If using recirculation mode, install two activated carbon filters (not included) into the designated compartments within the hood. These filters will purify the air before it is returned to the kitchen.

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Klarstein Alina Hood.
