Installation instructions for the appliance

• Ensure that the structure on or in which the appliance is to be installed can bear its weight.
• Faulty or damaged parts may only be replaced by original Novy parts.
• The larger the distance between the appliance and the hob, the less easily the cooking vapours can be taken up by the appliance. For this reason, pay heed to the stated (recommended) installation height.
• If a different distance is specified in the installation instructions for the gas hob, the largest distance indicated applies.
• In order to ensure that the cooking vapours are taken up in an optimal way, the appliance, or the structure into which the appliance is being installed, should extend over the hob. When using your own structure, ensure that the appliance is installed centred above the hob.
• For optimal operation, the hob should not be larger than the appliance or the structure into which the appliance is installed.

Exhaust or recirculation

Before starting to install, you need to have decided whether you are making an extraction duct to the outside, or whether you are going to use the extractor hood as a recirculation extractor hood. If opting for recirculation, you will find the recirculation kit with the accessories in these installation instructions.

Install the exhaust duct

• For optimum performance of the cooker hood it is important to pay attention to the following points: The motor outlet has a diameter of 150 mm. It is recommended to connect an exhaust duct with a diameter of 150 mm to this.
• You will achieve the best operation and lowest possible noise level for the appliance by connecting the extraction duct by as short a route as possible, with as few bends as possible and using the prescribed diameter.
• Use smooth, non-flammable pipes with an internal diameter that is equal to the external diameter of the connection nozzle of the hood.
• Use flat duct with rounded corners and with air deflectors. Available at Novy.
• Do not reduce the exhaust diameter. This will lower the capacity and raise the noise level.
• Avoid right-angle bends. Use rounded bends for effective airflow.
• Use of a flexible extraction hose should be kept to a minimum, and it should only be used for making small bridging sections, for example as the link between the outlet nozzle and the extraction duct. Maximally extend flexible ducts and cut them to size.
• Ensure that the extraction duct is not crushed and that there are no kinks in the duct.
• Use a hose clamp or aluminum tape for airtight connections.
• With a horizontal extraction duct, install it at a slight incline to ensure that condensation does not run back to the appliance.
• Condensation may arise as a result of temperature differences if the extraction duct passes through cool rooms. Ensure that the extraction duct is insulated.
• In case of an exhaust pipe through the outside wall passing a cavity wall, make sure that the exhaust duct fully bridges the cavity and slightly declines to the outside.
• In case of an exhaust pipe through the wall, use a wall vent.
• In case of an exhaust pipe through the roof, use a double-walled roof passage with adequate outlet capacity.
• When connecting to a short extraction duct, it may be desirable to install a non-return valve in the duct in order to prevent backdraught from wind.
• Make sure that sufficient air is supplied. Fresh air can be supplied by slightly opening a window or an outside door or by installing an inlet grate.
• The appliance may not be connected to a flue or chimney that is currently in use, or that serves as ventilation for rooms with hearths.

Air supply

However large the kitchen or the room with open kitchen is, only so much air can be extracted from the room as is supplied. Too little air supply could result in a yield loss of 50% and more.

If the extraction is used at the same time as a combustion system (for example heaters fired by gas, oil, wood or coal, hot water boilers using gas, gas hobs and gas ovens), combustion gases may be sucked back in and lead to poisoning.

A combustion system uses air from the room as combustion air. Combustion gases arise as a result, which are removed to the outside by an extraction system.

The appliance sucks in air from the kitchen and adjacent rooms. Negative pressure occurs if the air supply is inadequate. The toxic gases are then sucked back from the chimney or extraction duct into the room.

With simultaneous use of the appliance and combustion appliances in the same room, the negative pressure may not exceed 4 Pa (=0.04 mBar). Negative pressure can be prevented by allowing sufficient air into the room through openings that cannot be closed (for example through windows or doors, in combination with a ventilation cabinet in the wall).

Have an expert assess the overall ventilation system in your home for a proposal on suitable measures in the area of air supply.

When using the appliance with an internal or external motor (unit) with air extraction to the outside, there must be adequate air supply in the room where the appliance has been installed / is positioned, so that fresh air can flow in. Fresh air can be provided by tilting a window, opening a door or installing an inlet grille.

With an appliance with recirculation, there must be a minimum of ventilation in the room where the appliance has been installed / is positioned. Ventilation can be provided by the overall ventilation in the home or by tilting a window or opening a door.

Certain appliances are fitted with a connection for a window contact switch (see the technical specifications for your appliance). If the appliance is to operate at the same time as a heating appliance that needs air from the room, and if the required supply can only take place through a single open window, there is the option of connecting the appliance to a window contact switch (not included). This ensures that the appliance operates only when the window is open. If the window is closed, the fan cannot be switched on. Contact your technician for the correct accessories for your appliance.

Electrical connection

• The appliance may only be connected with the power plug to a socket with an earth (230 V – 50 Hz).
• Safety is only assured when the appliance is connected to an earth cable in accordance with the instructions laid down.
• The appliance must be able to be disconnected from the power at any desired point.
• Position the socket in such a way that the power plug of the appliance can be inserted easily.
• Do not use an extension cable for the connection to the electrical mains.
• Electric shock: never switch on a faulty appliance, this could cause an electric shock. Take the power plug out of the socket, or switch off at the distribution cabinet. Contact the Novy service department.
• Repairs and replacing faulty or damaged wiring must only be carried out by technicians who have undergone instruction by Novy.
• Moisture that has got into the appliance may cause an electric shock. Do not use a high pressure or steam cleaner.

Mount the remote motor unit

For the models 7605 and 7615 the remote motor unit of the chimney hood is mounted. A choice can be made between an internal motor, an external wall motor or a roof motor. With an external wall motor the minimum distance between the hood and the external motor must be 5 meters. The hood is connected to an earthed wall socket. The hood and the motor unit are electrically connected by means of a 6-pole plug connection. Additional information can be found in the mounting instructions of the motor involved.

Recirculation

If you choose for recirculation, Novy offers the recirculation kit, type 7600400. This kit includes a recirculation box that is mounted behind the upper chimney and a Monoblock recirculation filter.

Extension cable

When mounting the motor unit remotely, it may be desirable to mount a longer cable between the cookerhood and the motor. The extension cable is connected to the existing cable. The extension cable has a length of 5m.

Window switch

This hood is equipped with a connection for a contact window switch. If the hood is to work simultaneously with a heating appliance that pulls air from the room, and if the required supply of fresh air can only be through an open window, it is possible to connect a window contact switch (not supplied) to the hood. This ensures the hood only works if the window is open. When the window is closed, the fan can not be turned on. A window contact cable set is available as an accessory (part number 990.033). Using the cable set, it is possible to make a connection between the hood controller to the outside of the hood. A window contact switch can then be connected (not included).

Step 1: Preparations for mounting

Draw the vertical axis A of the chimney hood on the wall. The recommended height 'h' between the bottom of the chimney hood and the hob is for:

• The recommended mounting height for an electrical or ceramic hob is min. 600 mm and max. 750 mm.
• The mounting height for a gas or induction hob is min. 650 mm and max. 750 mm.

The level line B is drawn at the chosen height of 'h' + 440 mm.

Install the wall socket near the vertical axis A within the shaft widths.

Step 2: Marking and Drilling

On the level line B, mark two drill holes. The distance between the vertical axis line A and drill hole left is 130 mm. The distance between vertical axis line A and drill hole right is 130 mm.

Drill the holes in the wall using an 8mm drill.

Step 3: Initial Mounting

Use the large plugs (906055) and partly screw the accompanying large screws (906143) into the wall. Attention: do not fully screw in the screws yet!

Hang the wall-mounted chimney hood with the bracket on top of the motor housing over these screws.

Step 4 & 5: Leveling and Initial Attachment

Level the chimney hood C by turning the screws on the chimney hood such, that the chimney hood is hanging level. The height of the chimney hood can slightly be adjusted by screwing the screws in and out.

Attention: do not tighten the screws in the wall yet!

Step 6: Filter Removal and Hole Marking

Open the bottom panel and remove the fat filter from the chimney hood. There are 2 holes on the rear side of the chimney hood. Mark these holes on the wall. Close the bottom panel and take the chimney hood off the wall in order to be able to drill the marked holes. Drill the holes with a 6 mm drill and use the small plugs (906115). Position the chimney hood against the wall again. Check if the hood is still hanging level. Use the small screws (906197) to properly attach the wall-mounted chimney hood to the wall. Now also tighten the screws above in the wall.

Step 7: Lower Spacer Bracket

Install the lower spacer bracket on the vertical axis 100 mm from the upper side of the mounting bracket to the centre of the drilled hole. Use the plugs (906115) and the screws (906197). Mount the spacer bracket such, that it is perpendicular to and in the centre of the vertical axis on the wall.

Step 8: Upper Spacer Bracket

Mount the upper spacer bracket at 20 mm between the ceiling and the top of the bracket. Make sure that the spacer bracket is mounted perpendicular to and in the centre of the vertical axis. Use the plugs (906115) and the screws (906197).

Step 9: Exhaust Pipe and Shaft Assembly

Place the exhaust pipe on a connection nozzle of the motor using aluminium tape or a hose clamp. Put the plug into the wall socket. Take the two shaft parts and place them onto the wall-mounted chimney hood. Make sure that this is done carefully in order to prevent the chimney hood or the shafts from being damaged. Clamp the shafts around the lower spacer.

Open the bottom panel and remove the filter from the chimney hood. Tighten the shaft of the chimney hood with the 4 screws (906151) from the inside.

Step 10: Final Shaft Securing

Pull out the upper shaft part towards the ceiling and clamp it behind the upper spacer. Then fasten the shaft on both sides onto the upper spacer bracket using the 2 supplied stainless steel screws (906035).
