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 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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
