Enjoy experience, high quality and quietness.
When it comes to purifying the air, it’s hard to<br />
beat nature. Trees and forests take on this task,<br />
which is essential for life on this planet. In<br />
Switzerland people are accustomed to high<br />
quality, and the country is famous for the clean air<br />
supplied by its many forests. And here, for decades<br />
now, the name “<strong>Gaggenau</strong>” has been synonymous<br />
with kitchen ventilation systems. That‘s because<br />
no other manufacturer can boast as much expertise<br />
as <strong>Gaggenau</strong> in this field. No other company<br />
develops technical innovations so regularly or has<br />
even come close to creating so many classic<br />
designs. In terms of quality, our top-class materials<br />
and complex processing ensure that your every<br />
wish can come true. And the performance of<br />
<strong>Gaggenau</strong> ventilation systems is hard to surpass.<br />
High quality, quiet fans and intelligent planning<br />
ensure that ambitious home chefs enjoy fresh air<br />
when working in the kitchen.<br />

Kitchen vapours contain not only aromas and<br />
moisture, but also tiny grease particles. Trapping<br />
the latter is one of the biggest challanges for an<br />
effective ventilation system, along with eliminating<br />
odours. The fact that kitchens are meanwhile increasingly<br />
being integrated into living areas in the<br />
home is one reason that good ventilation systems<br />
are more important today than ever before. That is<br />
why in addition to searching for better ideas for<br />
providing clean air, we also strive to conceive<br />
more attractive ones. Here we differentiate between<br />
the almost invisible systems — such as ceiling<br />
ventilation, downdraft ventilation and table<br />
ventilation — and those specifically designed to<br />
lend a design accent to a room. Almost every model<br />
is available as an air extraction appliance or<br />
recirculation version — all of them highly effective.

The ceiling ventilation.<br />
This ventilation system is practically invisible. It can be<br />
integrated into the ceiling of a room or positioned<br />
unobtrusively in kitchen furniture. It consists of ventilation<br />
modules that can be combined in a host of different<br />
ways to meet any individual wish and blend in with<br />
any room. This is a solution that ensures maximum<br />
headroom and field of vision, leaving no obstacles<br />
to relaxed communication around the cooktop.<br />
The system pictured is the AC 402 ceiling ventilation.<br />
10
The table ventilation.<br />
The table ventilation extracts cooking vapours where<br />
they originate: right at the cooktop This makes it<br />
magnificently effective and particularly suitable for<br />
very large rooms and kitchen islands. The remote<br />
fan unit is concealed in the lower cabinet. Positioned<br />
behind the cooktop, the table ventilation<br />
leaves ample space over the cooktop and remains a<br />
background element thanks to its design. This type<br />
of ventilation system can be used as a highly effective<br />
air recirculation solution or for air extraction.<br />
The system pictured is the table ventilation AL 400.<br />
13
The downdraft ventilation.<br />
The downdraft ventilation offers more than just invisibility.<br />
Its effectiveness is also unbeatable. This is<br />
because it extracts downwards from where it is integrated<br />
in the worktop, wether directly next to or<br />
between individual cooktops. The cooking vapours<br />
can thus be extracted before they can become mixed<br />
with the ambient air in the room. This assures its<br />
extraordinary performance, especially when combined<br />
with Vario cooking appliances including the<br />
grill, Teppan Yaki or deep fryer.<br />
Pictured is the VL 430 downdraft ventilation.<br />
15
The island hood.<br />
The island hood plays a key role as a design element<br />
in any cutting-edge kitchen. It extracts the air directly<br />
above the cooktop, is available in stainless steel or<br />
aluminium and its free-floating installation makes it a<br />
distinctive part of the kitchen’s architecture.<br />
The AI 400 island hood is shown here.<br />
16
The Coanda effect.<br />
Aerodynamic research led to the discovery of the<br />
Coanda effect. The unique shape of the ventilation<br />
hood leads to the emergence of an additional air<br />
current along its front edge. This air current traps<br />
rising condensation before it has a chance to<br />
escape over the edge of the appliance, and drives<br />
it straight into the outlet. This helps to save energy<br />
while also siphoning off less temperate air. Since<br />
it’s an astonishingly quiet system, it makes working<br />
in the kitchen a much more pleasurable experience.<br />
The Coanda effect kicks in on both sides<br />
when using an island hood. One of <strong>Gaggenau</strong>’s<br />
many innovations.<br />
19
The wall-mounted hood.<br />
The wall-mounted hood is a classic, attractive<br />
ventilation system for every type of kitchen.<br />
Designers like to use it as a design element to<br />
focus attention directly above the cooking area.<br />
It is available in stainless steel or aluminium.<br />
Wall-mounted hoods are thus also the perfect<br />
design solution where less space is available<br />
and the room is not big enough to accommodate<br />
a kitchen island in the centre.<br />
Pictured here is the island hood AW 201.<br />
21
The rim extraction filter.<br />
This filter is quiet and has a calm appearance.<br />
Behind the stainless steel cover is a full-width<br />
mesh filter that quietly and efficiently removes<br />
grease from cooking vapours. The filter surface is<br />
removed as a unit and cleaned in the dishwasher.<br />
Doing so is no problem thanks to the push-tounlock<br />
system with safety catch. A <strong>Gaggenau</strong><br />
speciality here is that the filter begins at the rim,<br />
so the cooking vapours are immediately filtered.<br />
As a result, the grease is deposited only on the<br />
filter and not on the housing of the ventilation<br />
system.<br />
23
The angled canopy hood.<br />
A special variant of the wall-mounted hood is the<br />
angled canopy hood, which leaves much more<br />
room above the cooktop. This is an advantage that<br />
is particularly valued by tall chefs. The angled<br />
canopy hood serves as an attractive design element<br />
that highlights the cooking position. Covered<br />
cassette-type filters ensure that the underside has<br />
a harmonious appearance. The control panel for<br />
the angled canopy hood is positioned on the side<br />
for ease of use no matter the height.<br />
The wall-mounted AW 250 angled canopy hood is<br />
pictured here.<br />
25
The flat kitchen hood.<br />
One of the first innovations that <strong>Gaggenau</strong><br />
developed for ventilation was the flat kitchen hood,<br />
which is still very popular. It has the advantage of<br />
taking up very little space because it is mounted<br />
inside the upper cabinet and only extracted when<br />
needed. The canopy extractors from <strong>Gaggenau</strong><br />
are also a good alternative whenever compact<br />
individual solutions are required. Depending on<br />
the planning and requirements for a specific<br />
project, they can be entirely enclosed by furniture.<br />
Flat kitchen hoods and ventilation system components<br />
work very effectively and with an extremely<br />
low level of noise. As you’ve come to expect from<br />
<strong>Gaggenau</strong>.<br />
Pictured is the AH 250 flat kitchen hood.<br />

The air output and air requirement are decisive<br />
factors in the planning of a ventilation system. The<br />
air requirement depends primarily on the planned<br />
cooktop, the space in question and the design<br />
and positioning of the ventilation system. The air<br />
requirement must be considered in relation to the<br />
corresponding air output that a ventilation appliance<br />
can deliver, without taking into account the<br />
effects of all ventilation system components.<br />
In the following chapter we’ll give you a detailed<br />
insight into the individual factors, as well as general<br />
tips for planning and safety. You can use our<br />
planning tools to make your calculations.

The distance to the ventilation system is the deciding factor in choosing the<br />
method used to determine the air requirement.<br />

The air requirement.<br />
The aim of good ventilation system planning is to ensure<br />
that the cooking vapours are extracted from the<br />
kitchen area as thoroughly and quickly as possible.<br />
The size of the kitchen and the corresponding air<br />
exchange rate based on the room volume are often<br />
used as a basis for the planning. We recommend this<br />
method only when the distance between the ventilation<br />
system and the cooktop is more than 1.20 metres,<br />
i.e. for ceiling ventilation.<br />
For air extraction operation, the air requirement<br />
for the air exchange rate is calculated using a<br />
factor of 10.<br />
However, the calculation is made using a factor of<br />
12 in kitchens where special cooking appliances<br />
such as the grill, Teppan Yaki, wok or deep fryer are<br />
used.<br />
For recirculation, the air requirement for the air<br />
exchange rate is generally calculated using a<br />
factor of 12.<br />
If the distance between the ventilation system and the<br />
cooktop is less than 1.20 metres, the factors listed<br />
below must be taken into account to ensure that most<br />
of the cooking vapours are trapped as soon as they<br />
rise from the cooktop:<br />
The size and type of kitchen<br />
The cooking appliances<br />
The type of ventilation system and the distance to<br />
the cooktop<br />
The operation mode<br />
The supporting factors<br />
On the following pages we’ll explain the individual<br />
points in detail. In addition, on our website we provide<br />
a planning tool — “<strong>Ventilation</strong> systems à la carte” — for<br />
determining the estimated air requirement (see planning<br />
tools p. 42).
The size and architecture of the kitchen.<br />
Our first consideration is the size of the kitchen and<br />
whether the room in question is enclosed or opens<br />
onto the living space. A rule that applies here is: The<br />
larger the room, the greater the movement of air,<br />
which increases the air requirement. This effect is<br />
intensified in open kitchens, in kitchens with kitchen<br />
islands or kitchen peninsulas and in kitchens whose<br />
users frequently cook and with several other people.<br />
In other words, differently to enclosed kitchens with<br />
areas of up to 10 m 2 from larger kitchens and those<br />
that open onto living spaces.<br />
And we differentiate wall situations from islands or<br />
peninsulas.<br />
The cooking appliances.<br />
The selection of the cooktop is the decisive factor.<br />
Different cooktops produce different types and<br />
quantities of cooking vapours. This is why the choice<br />
of cooktop is the key to determining the correct air<br />
output for the ventilation system to be used.<br />
The wider the cooktop, the greater the output of the<br />
ventilation system. The ventilation must have sufficient<br />
power reserves, especially when plans call for installing<br />
special Vario cooking appliances such as the<br />
deep fryer, Teppan Yaki, wok or grill. This is because a<br />
greater quantity of cooking vapours is to be expected<br />
with such appliances. We therefore also recommend<br />
that these special cooking appliances be installed in<br />
the middle of the cooktop configuration and not on<br />
the outside edges.<br />

32<br />
The type of ventilation system.<br />
Each type of ventilation system has specific characteristics<br />
that an effect air requirement.<br />
<strong>Ventilation</strong> systems such as downdraft ventilation and<br />
table ventilation, extract air right at the cooktop. This<br />
prevents rising cooking vapours from spreading into<br />
the ambient air. As a rule, less air output is needed<br />
with these types than with ventilation systems where<br />
the distance to the cooktop is 80 cm or more.<br />
For all other types of ventilation, the ventilation system<br />
selected should always be wider than the cooktop<br />
below it. The rule of thumb here is: The greater the<br />
distance to the cooktop, the wider and more powerful<br />
the chosen ventilation system. After all, cooking vapours<br />
always spread to the sides as they rise.<br />
With correct planning, users can expect the majority<br />
of the cooking vapours to be directly extracted if the<br />
distance between the ventilation system and the cooktop<br />
is up to approx. 1.20 metres. In this case the<br />
choice of the cooktop is the decisive criterion for<br />
calculating the required air output.<br />
As the distance increases, it becomes more likely that<br />
the cooking vapours will spread into the room rather<br />
than being completely captured by the ventilation<br />
system. In such cases the ventilation system must be<br />
able to handle the air exchange for the entire room.<br />
<strong>Ventilation</strong> systems with a run-on function, which continues<br />
to operate after the cooking is finished, are a<br />
good solution in a case like this. The air output needed<br />
to do this should be calculated on the basis of the<br />
room volume. (See p. 30).

Recirculation: The extracted cooking vapours are cleaned by means of an<br />
activated charcoal filter, and the cleaned air is once again channelled into<br />
the room.<br />
Air extraction operation: Ensure that there is a sufficient fresh air supply.<br />
Air extraction operation: Without a fresh air supply the air output is reduced.<br />
Air extraction operation: A draft in the cooking area spreads the cooking<br />
vapours.<br />
34<br />
The operation mode.<br />
All <strong>Gaggenau</strong> ventilation systems can be operated in<br />
air extraction and recirculation modes. The sole exception<br />
is the angled canopy hood, which is designed for<br />
air extraction operation only. Your choice of ventilation<br />
system type depends entirely on aesthetic preferences<br />
and installation conditions in the room.<br />
When recirculation is used, users must bear in mind<br />
that the addition of the activated charcoal filter leads<br />
to a reduced air output compared to air extraction<br />
operation. The larger the surface area of the activated<br />
charcoal filter, the more comparable the ventilation<br />
system is to an air extraction solution in terms of its air<br />
output and noise level. During extraction operation,<br />
the actual air output depends on the fan output and,<br />
to a great extent, on the duct sytem.<br />
Note: Regardless of the operation mode, with all<br />
<strong>Gaggenau</strong> ventilation systems the kitchen vapours are<br />
first channelled through a metal grease filter, which<br />
captures the grease particles and protects the ventilation<br />
system and air ducts against fat deposits. All<br />
grease filters from <strong>Gaggenau</strong> are easy to remove and<br />
can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
The supporting factors.<br />
The <strong>Gaggenau</strong> rim extraction filter, the Coanda effect,<br />
an existing vapour trap and a wider ventilation system<br />
are factors that reduce the air requirement. It is therefore<br />
important for you to carefully consider your<br />
choice of corresponding devices at the planning<br />
stage, if possible.<br />
The special design of the <strong>Gaggenau</strong> rim extraction<br />
filters enables the highly effective removal of cooking<br />
vapours. The filters are also able to prevent<br />
deposits of grease particles from accumulating<br />
on the housing of the ventilation system. This is<br />
because the filter surface extends into the edge of<br />
the housing.<br />
The <strong>Gaggenau</strong> ventilation systems equipped with<br />
the Coanda effect generate an additional stream of<br />
air along their front edge. This stream of air traps<br />
the rising vapours before they can escape over the<br />
edge of the appliance and draws them into the<br />
ventilation hood. This intelligent extraction support<br />
reduces the amount of room-temperature kitchen<br />
air extracted from the room by about 10 per cent.<br />
With <strong>Gaggenau</strong> ceiling ventilations, or when canopy<br />
extractors are used, a vapour trap at least 10<br />
cm deep around the filter surface helps to prevent<br />
the cooking vapours from spreading under the<br />
ceiling or furniture cavity.<br />
If ventilation systems are installed above the cooktop,<br />
the following applies: The larger the ventilation<br />
system is in comparison to the cooktop, the more<br />
the cooking vapours will be trapped as they spread.<br />

35
The air output. Duct system and installation.<br />
The air output of the entire ventilation system must be<br />
specified to correspond to the air requirement. The<br />
following factors affect the air output:<br />
The performance characteristics of the chosen<br />
ventilation system<br />
The duct system<br />
The installation<br />
In addition, it is advisable to plan for sufficient power<br />
reserves to ensure that the ventilation system does<br />
not have to constantly work at the highest power level.<br />
This helps to reduce noise while simultaneously improving<br />
energy efficiency.<br />
On the following pages we’ll explain the individual<br />
factors in detail. On our website we also provide a<br />
planning tool — “Rodun” — for calculating the air output<br />
(see planning tools on p. 42).<br />
The performance characteristics<br />
of the ventilation system.<br />
The performance characteristics of a ventilation system<br />
are the result of optimal coordination of the following<br />
factors: The construction itself, the filter that is<br />
used and the fan. <strong>Gaggenau</strong> ventilation systems are<br />
equipped with very powerful fans, or they can be combined<br />
with correspondingly powerful remote fan units<br />
for air extraction or recirculation. These fans are also<br />
extremely resistant to preassure. They overcome possible<br />
pressure losses in a duct system and work very<br />
effectively at a low noise level. The fan output is supported<br />
by features such as the Coanda effect and rim<br />
extraction which boost the effectiveness of the ventilation<br />
system.<br />
36<br />
Intelligently selecting and installing the duct system<br />
not only has a very positive effect on the output of the<br />
ventilation system; it also minimises the noise generated.<br />
It is therefore decisive for the efficiency of the<br />
entire ventilation system. This applies especially to<br />
extraction solutions, but also to recirculation solutions<br />
with external remote fan units. A good guideline here<br />
is: The duct diameter should be as large and constant<br />
as possible, while the ducting should be as short and<br />
straight as possible. The wall outlet must correspond<br />
to the duct diameter.<br />
The duct type.<br />
In <strong>Gaggenau</strong>’s accessories catalogue, customers can<br />
select the type of duct appropriate to their needs,<br />
whether flexible aluminium duct, round duct or a flat<br />
duct system. Depending on the duct type, they can<br />
choose from the nominal sizes NW 125, NW 150 and<br />
NW 200. For maximum output with minimal noise, the<br />
diameter should always be as large as possible.<br />
For straight ducting, the use of plastic or metal ducts<br />
with smooth, level inner surfaces is recommended.<br />
These enable a laminar flow of air during extraction,<br />
without air turbulence. For sections that are not<br />
straight and for bends, flexible aluminium ducts are<br />
preferred because they make it possible to avoid hard<br />
edges.<br />
Where space limitations are a concern, the first<br />
choice is the <strong>Gaggenau</strong> flat duct system. The remarkable<br />
design with special conducting fins in the bends<br />
and junction pieces allow for a very low hight and<br />
large nominal size, thus ensuring very efficient air<br />
circulation. This also applies in situations where there<br />
are many bends. We strongly discourage the use of<br />
other flat ducts due to the high output losses in duct<br />
bends, duct corners and junction pieces.<br />
Spiral and corrugated ducts should definitely not be<br />
used. In addition to displaying the worst flow conditions,<br />
these types also tend to flutter and thus generate<br />
noise.
The wall outlet and sound dampers.<br />
Appropriate wall outlets are available for ducts that<br />
run neatly, efficiently, and unobtrusively through<br />
exterior walls. The size of the opening should always<br />
correspond to the nominal size of the duct type or<br />
larger. Sound dampers can be integrated into the<br />
duct system for further noise reduction.<br />
The duct diameter.<br />
It is also important to consider the duct diameter. In<br />
principle, the nominal size of the duct should equal<br />
the size of the ventilation hood’s air outlet. Generally,<br />
the larger the diameter, the fewer the output losses<br />
and the lower the noise level. Even with a hood whose<br />
connecting pieces have a nominal size of NW 150, it<br />
is advantageous to use ducting with a nominal size of<br />
NW 200 for longer stretches in order to minimise<br />
losses in the long air circulation.<br />
Ducts with diameters of less than 125 mm (nominal<br />
size of NW 125) are not recommended because they<br />
have a very negative effect on the ventilation hood<br />
output and significantly increase noise.<br />

The installation.<br />
The choice of the appropriate duct type with the optimal<br />
nominal size and careful installation are decisive<br />
factors that influence the efficiency of the ventilation<br />
system. In general, the ducting should be kept as<br />
short as possible and have few bends and a large<br />
diameter.<br />
Large duct diameters result in a lower flow velocity<br />
and thus far less turbulence. On the whole, there is<br />
an audible reduction in the noise generated by the<br />
ventilation system. Narrowing the cross-section, on<br />
the other hand, creates air turbulence, increases<br />
resistance and has a negative effect on the noise<br />
level and output of the ventilation system.<br />
A straight stretch of ducting measuring approx. 30<br />
cm in length must be installed immediately following<br />
either the air outlet opening of the ventilation<br />
system or the remote fan unit, in order to allow the<br />
laminar flow of the extracted air. Bends should only<br />
be installed after this stretch.<br />
Two 45° bends installed to leave sufficient space<br />
are always preferable to a 90° bend. Bends should<br />
always be laid out with the greatest possible radius<br />
because air turbulence forms at sharp turns/curves,<br />
which is also where airflow breakaway can happen.<br />
Bends that allow good air flow can be achieved with<br />
flexible aluminium ducts or our flat duct system.<br />
When connecting secondary channels to a main<br />
duct, attention must be paid to oblique angles. The<br />
ducts should also be positioned obliquely if possible<br />
when they open into an air extraction shaft.<br />
When connecting several ventilation systems to one<br />
common chimney, the cross-section of the main<br />
duct must be laid out to correspond to the number<br />
of appliances.<br />
Air extraction ducts that run through unheated<br />
rooms should be well insulated to prevent condensation<br />
forming.<br />
A condensation separator should be installed at the<br />
lower end of vertical stretches of ducting. Horizon-
tal air extraction ducts should have a slope of at<br />
least 1° so that they can lead any condensed water<br />
away from the ventilation system. The condensation<br />
can either be channelled to an appropriate spot<br />
outdoors or collected in a reservoir where it can<br />
evaporate.<br />
Air inlets and outlets should be as free of wind<br />
pressure as possible.<br />

Important factors in the planning of a ventilation system<br />
include personal taste, specific architectural conditions<br />
and safety considerations. In the following<br />
section we’ll discuss these points in greater detail.<br />
The design.<br />
In visual terms, there are basically two categories of<br />
ventilation system: visible and invisible. Which version<br />
is preferable depends entirely on personal taste, because<br />
<strong>Gaggenau</strong> offers outstanding systems of both<br />
kinds.<br />
If the visible variant is chosen, the ventilation system<br />
becomes an important design element in the room.<br />
<strong>Gaggenau</strong> ventilation systems have long been setting<br />
the standards in this area with designs that are deliberately<br />
sculptural and have won a large number of<br />
awards. Prime examples include the timeless AW/AI<br />
400 and the “Coanda” AW/AI 280 ventilation system,<br />
which has won several awards.<br />
By contrast, the AC 402 ceiling ventilation, which can<br />
also be integrated into furniture elements in much the<br />
same way as a canopy extractor, works almost invisibly.<br />
Equally invisible is the downdraft ventilation that is<br />
integrated directly in the worktop between and beside<br />
the cooktops.<br />
Table ventilation remains in the background and leaves<br />
the space above the cooktop free.<br />
40<br />
The general planning notes.<br />
Architectural conditions.<br />
Architectural conditions such as room layout, wall<br />
shape or building materials often impose limits on the<br />
choice of ventilation system and the operation mode.<br />
In order to avoid such limitations, it is worth making a<br />
decision early on the type and operation mode of the<br />
ventilation system.<br />
Low-energy or passive house: Here only a recirculation<br />
variant is possible, because otherwise the<br />
energy balance of the house would be negatively<br />
affected.<br />
Long air extraction route: Our planning tool helps<br />
you to determine whether the performance losses in<br />
the planned duct system would be too great for the<br />
volume of fresh air that is needed and, if so, what<br />
chan ges in the kitchen planning process solve the<br />
problem, or whether a recirculation system would be<br />
more suitable.<br />
Open fireplace: If there is a working open fireplace<br />
in the kitchen or an adjacent room, any planned<br />
ventilation system must ensure a sufficient supply<br />
of fresh air.<br />
A sloping ceiling or a cooktop directly in front of a<br />
window: In this situation, the installation of a table<br />
or downdraft ventilation system is recommended.
Aspects relating to safety.<br />
Safety and fire protection must have top priority in all<br />
planning activities and regulations currently in force<br />
must always be complied with.<br />
An adequate supply of fresh air must be ensured,<br />
especially in rooms where a fireplace is being<br />
operated with gas, oil or solid fuel. This is because<br />
the ventilation hood could divert the oxygen that the<br />
fireplace needs for combustion, and increase the<br />
spread of exhaust gases throughout the room. In addition,<br />
some countries require the installation of a standard<br />
window contact switch, which allows the<br />
ventilation system to be used only if a window is open.<br />
We strongly recommend the installation of such a<br />
switch in any case. This risk does not arise if an air<br />
recirculation system is used.<br />
Extracted air must not be channelled into any currently<br />
working flue or chimney. The air must also not be<br />
channelled into any shaft that serves to ventilate<br />
rooms with fireplaces.<br />
The minimum distance between the worktop and the<br />
bottom edge of the ventilation system is listed in the<br />
planning instructions of our price list and on our website<br />
at www.gaggenau.com. This minimum distance<br />
must always be observed. If the distance exceeds this<br />
minimum, the air output is reduced. This should also<br />
be kept in mind during planning.<br />
table ventilation<br />
or<br />
downdraft ventilation<br />
In rooms with sloping ceilings, the installation of a table or downdraft ventilation<br />
system is recommended.<br />
Ensure that there is a sufficient supply of fresh air if there is an open<br />
fireplace in the room.<br />
Here, there is an open fireplace and the opening for fresh air is closed.<br />
41
The goal of careful ventilation planning is to harmonise<br />
the kitchen’s need for fresh air and the air output<br />
of the ventilation system. For example, if the system<br />
has excessive power reserves and is operated at an<br />
overly high power level, there will be unnecessarily<br />
high levels of energy consumption and noise. During<br />
extraction operation, excessive power reserves also<br />
lead to ventilation with unnecessarily large amounts of<br />
fresh air. With the help of our planning tools, you can<br />
find the optimal solution – even for critical planning<br />
tasks.<br />

The “<strong>Ventilation</strong> à la carte” planning tool: Using this<br />
tool, it is possible to calculate the amount of fresh<br />
air needed for any given space. It goes beyond the<br />
rule of thumb that simply multiplies the number of<br />
air changes by the room volume and makes it possible<br />
to take various individual kitchen situations<br />
into account. The factors to be kept in mind include<br />
room volume, the selected cooktop and the installation<br />
variants, to name but a few. In short, it is an<br />
ideal tool for making a concrete recommendation<br />
regarding the power level needed by the ventilation<br />
system.<br />
The Rodun system for calculating power levels of<br />
ventilation systems: The Rodun system is extremely<br />
helpful when you are calculating the air output, the<br />
duct layout and the efficiency of the selected ventilation<br />
system. And when you combine it with the<br />
“<strong>Ventilation</strong> à la carte” tool, calculating whether or<br />
not the planned ventilation system meets the requirements<br />
becomes a simple task. You can find<br />
both tools on our website at www.gaggenau.com<br />

includes the technical specifications of our<br />
ventilation systems, planning and configuration<br />
instructions and an overview of our range of accessories.<br />
The installation video for ceiling ventilation provides<br />
insights into the planning and installation of a ceiling<br />
ventilation system.<br />
online at www.gaggenau.com. For example, there is<br />
an animated video that illustrates how the Coanda<br />
ventilation system works. It isl also worthwhile taking<br />
a look at our <strong>Gaggenau</strong> magazine. It features kitchen<br />
appliances that meet the highest standards and<br />
whose visual design is in perfect harmony with our<br />
ventilation systems. You can download the magazine<br />
directly from www.gaggenau.com.
Activated charcoal air filter.<br />
This filter picks up and captures odour particles. In the<br />
case of recirculation systems, the activated charcoal<br />
filter cleanses cooking vapours of odours before the air<br />
is redirected into the kitchen. In order to keep the ventilation<br />
system effective, activated charcoal filters should be<br />
replaced about twice a year, depending on individual<br />
cooking patterns.<br />
Air extraction/recirculation.<br />
Most <strong>Gaggenau</strong> ventilation systems can be used for<br />
both air extraction and recirculation. In both cases, the<br />
air that is full of grease and odour particles first passes<br />
through a grease filter that protects the inside of the<br />
exhaust air duct against deposits. In the air extraction<br />
version, the previously cleaned air is conducted through<br />
the wall and expelled outdoors or into a ventilation shaft.<br />
In the recirculation version, the odour particles are captured<br />
by an additional activated charcoal filter so that<br />
only odourless air is routed back into the kitchen.<br />
Air recirculation:<br />
<strong>Ventilation</strong> systems in recirculation mode have a higher<br />
energy efficiency level than air extraction systems. This is<br />
because heated air stays in the room in winter and, conversely,<br />
cool air stays in the room in summer. In addition,<br />
they are generally easier to install, because in most<br />
cases there is no need for an extensive duct system.<br />
As the surface area of the activated charcoal filter increases,<br />
the power and noise development of a recirculation<br />
system becomes comparable to that of an air<br />
extraction system. The only thing an air recirculation<br />
solution does not do is remove humidity from the<br />
kitchen.<br />
If an air recirculation system is used for room ventilation<br />
(the distance between the ventilation system and the<br />
cooktop must be greater than 1.20 metres), special<br />
cooking appliances such as the grill, Teppan Yaki, wok<br />
or deep fryer should not be installed.<br />
44<br />
Glossary.<br />
Air extraction:<br />
Air extraction systems operate by means of a constant<br />
exchange of air. The volume of air that is removed from<br />
the room must be replaced with the same volume of<br />
fresh air. An air extraction system is efficient provided the<br />
following conditions have been met:<br />
A. The exhaust air must be removed as directly as possible,<br />
without any great deviations. (See p. 36, Duct<br />
system and installation)<br />
B. An adequate supply of fresh air from outside must be<br />
ensured. The necessary ventilation opening should be<br />
located as close to the ceiling as possible and, if feasible,<br />
on the side of the room opposite the ventilation hood.<br />
The distance between the ventilation opening and the<br />
hood should be at least 1 metre in order to prevent gusts<br />
of air over the cooktop in the event of strong winds.<br />
Ceiling collar.<br />
For each type of duct there is an appropriate ceiling<br />
collar. Such collars also hide small gaps in ceilings that<br />
are not quite horizontal and have a slope of 1–2°. With<br />
the help of a ceiling collar, one-piece special ducts can be<br />
custom-installed even at height. The front and back parts<br />
of the ducts for island hoods are connected by a fine<br />
magnetic seam so that they can be separated at any time.<br />
Centrifugal grease filter.<br />
See Grease filter.<br />
Coanda effect.<br />
This aerodynamic technique is used by <strong>Gaggenau</strong> to<br />
extract the cooking fumes which occur at the front of a<br />
cooktop more efficiently. Part of the airflow generated by<br />
the fan exits through the top of the ventilation hood and<br />
is guided downwards, over the rounded front edge,<br />
intercepting fumes which might otherwise get past the<br />
front of the ventilation hood. This new air conduction<br />
system enables efficient air purification – even at lower<br />
power levels. As a result, less energy is used and less<br />
temperate air is removed from the room. At the same<br />
time, the noise level is considerably reduced.
Condensation trap.<br />
A condensation trap should be installed at the lower end<br />
of long, vertical air extraction ducts. The ventilation system<br />
collects condensed water in a container, where it<br />
evaporates.<br />
Duct connector/adapter.<br />
Connector pieces are available for all common duct<br />
widths to connect ducts of the same size or different<br />
cross sections.<br />
Grease filter.<br />
As with all <strong>Gaggenau</strong> ventilation hoods, the air containing<br />
grease and odour particles first passes through a<br />
grease filter, which removes up to 95 per cent of the<br />
grease from the air. This prevents any deposits forming<br />
on the inside of the hood or ventilation pipes.<br />
Stainless steel grease filter:<br />
The filter can be easily removed for cleaning in the dishwasher.<br />
Rim extraction filter:<br />
The full-width mesh filter with its integrated cover ensures<br />
an understated look as well as quiet operation.<br />
The grease separation of 90 to 95 per cent is equivalent<br />
to that of a mesh filter. The noise level is, however,<br />
around three dB quieter and the optimised rim design<br />
reduces condensation. The filter can be removed as a<br />
single unit using the invisible push-to-unlock system with<br />
safety catch and can be cleaned in the dishwasher.<br />
Centrifugal grease filter:<br />
The air current from the table ventilation system AT 400<br />
is rerouted several times in this filter, thereby ensuring<br />
that grease particles are efficiently captured and expelled.<br />
The filter elements can be cleaned in the dishwasher.<br />
Grease filter saturation indicator.<br />
A signal on the control panel reminds the user when it is<br />
time to clean the grease filter. In the case of a ceiling<br />
ventilation system, an acoustic signal sounds every time<br />
the appliance is switched off. Soiled filters lose their<br />
effectiveness and raise the noise level of the ventilation<br />
system.<br />
Infrared remote control.<br />
All of the AC 402 ceiling ventilation’s functions, from the<br />
desired power level to the lighting, can be conveniently<br />
operated using the infrared remote control.<br />
Intensive mode.<br />
Three power settings and an intensive mode can be<br />
activated via individual control buttons on the ventilation<br />
appliances. Depending on the particular model and<br />
setting, the intensive mode automatically reverts to the<br />
previously selected power setting after three, five or ten<br />
minutes of operation.<br />
Interval ventilation.<br />
When interval ventilation is activated, the ventilation<br />
system automatically switches back to the previously<br />
selected power level automatically for five minutes in<br />
each hour of operation. This enables extraction of stale<br />
air from the room at regular intervals, even during the<br />
night — after parties, for example, or when noone is at<br />
home for extended periods.<br />
Motorless extractor hood.<br />
See remote fan unit<br />
45
Noise generation.<br />
The two main sources of noise in a ventilation system are<br />
the motor and the airflow. Motor noise is generated by<br />
the operation of the extractor at the necessary rpm.<br />
Thanks to the type of motor control system and the form<br />
of the ventilator and the housing, <strong>Gaggenau</strong> ventilation<br />
appliances generate motor noise practically only when<br />
they are being operated at level 1. And even then the<br />
noise is barely perceptible.<br />
Different conditions apply to the volume of the noise<br />
generated by the airflow. The airflow noise becomes<br />
louder with increasing air output. This noise can be<br />
minimised using the largest possible duct diameters<br />
and appropriate duct types. The value of specific<br />
<strong>Gaggenau</strong> features such as the Coanda effect and<br />
rim extraction is also evident here, as under some<br />
circumstances the appliance can be operated at a<br />
lower power level.<br />
Noise level.<br />
The noise level is a value measured and calculated under<br />
laboratory conditions and is specified in dB(A)<br />
re1pWdB(A)re1pW. This specification is intended solely<br />
for the purpose of comparing information in the catalogues<br />
from various manufacturers and cannot be determined<br />
in the same way in a real kitchen situation.<br />
One-way flaps.<br />
See Wall outlets/telescopic ducts<br />
Recirculation.<br />
See Air extraction/recirculation<br />
Remote fan units/motorless ventilation.<br />
If the construction design permits, the installation of a<br />
motorless ventilation system together with an external<br />
fan is recommended. The fan can be mounted either<br />
outside the building or in an adjacent space such as<br />
an attic or a cellar. It can also be installed in a lower<br />
46<br />
cab inet. This has the advantage of keeping motor noise<br />
out of the kitchen or at least dampening it. Furthermore,<br />
more power is available, depending on the ventilation<br />
type that is used. The fan is operated via the ventilation<br />
system controls.<br />
Rim extraction filter.<br />
See Grease filter.<br />
Run-on function.<br />
Just the thing for effective room ventilation. Once activated,<br />
the function ensures that the ventilation appliance<br />
runs on for up to ten minutes after use on any<br />
setting, before automatically switching itself off.<br />
Sealing flaps.<br />
The suction vent in the downdraft ventilation system in<br />
the Vario 400 series is sealed when the system is not in<br />
use. When the ventilation is switched off, the flaps remain<br />
open for a few seconds until the fan comes to a<br />
complete stop. The flaps then close automatically.<br />
Soft-Light.<br />
The uniform cooktop illumination, which comes with<br />
ventilation appliances, automatically goes on and off<br />
gradually, and it can be dimmed manually from maximum<br />
illumination while cooking to atmospheric background<br />
lighting.<br />
Sound dampers.<br />
When installing ventilation hoods with separate remote<br />
fan units, noise can be reduced by installing a sound<br />
damper duct between the two appliances. The sound<br />
damper is most effective when installed in a curved<br />
arrangement.
Special ducts.<br />
Certain special duct shapes, longer lengths and side<br />
duct shapes are available on request.<br />
Stainless steel grease filter.<br />
See Grease filter.<br />
Wall outlets/telescopic ducts<br />
At the point where the air extraction ducts open to the<br />
outdoors, these louvered screens prevent water and<br />
wind from getting into the exhaust air duct and an integrated<br />
one-way flap prevents cold air from entering. A<br />
drip edge prevents dirt from accumulating on the building<br />
facade. Telescopic ducts can be adjusted in line with<br />
the thickness of the outer wall. Their cross sections<br />
should correspond to that of the exhaust air duct. Telescopic<br />
ducts and air extraction ducts should never lead<br />
out to the side of the building most exposed to the elements.<br />
The back pressure exerted by wind and rain can<br />
have an adverse effect on the functioning of the ventilation<br />
hood.<br />
