Safety warnings

For the user

• The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours from the kitchen, it will not extract steam.

• Always cover lighted elements, to prevent excess heat from damaging the appliance. In the case of oil, gas and coal fired cookers it is essential to avoid open flames.

• Also, when frying, keep the deep frying pan on the cooker top/ cooker under careful control.

• The hot oil in the frying pan might ignite due to overheating.

• The risk of self-ignition increases when the oil being used is dirty.

• It is extremely important to note that overheating can cause a fire.

• Never carry out any flambé cooking under the hood.

• Always disconnect the unit from the power supply before

carrying out any work on the hood, including replacing the light bulb.

• It is very important to clean the hood and to perform maintenance and care of filters at the recommended intervals. Failure to do so could cause grease deposits to build up, resulting in a fire hazard.

• The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• WARNING - Ensure that the appliance is switched off before replacing the lamp to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product.

The symbol on the product, or on the documents accompanying the product, indicates that this appliance may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. Disposal must be carried out in accordance with local environmental regulations for waste disposal. For more detailed information about treatment, recovery and recycling of this product, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.

For the installer

• When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a 150mm diameter duct.

• When installing the hood, make sure you respect the following

minimum distance from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring surfaces: electric cookers 500 mm gas cookers 650 mm

The hood can be installed above these heights but for optimum performance it should be installed at the distance quoted for the appropriate heat source.

• The national Standard on fuel-burning systems specifies a maximum depression of 0.04 mbar in such rooms.

• The air outlet must not be connected to chimney flues or combustion gas ducts. The air outlet must under no circumstances be connected to ventilation ducts for rooms in which fuel-burning appliances are installed.

• The air outlet installation must comply with the regulations laid down by the relevant authorities.

• When the unit is used in its extractor version, a sufficiently large ventilation hole must be provided, with dimensions that are approximately the same as the outlet hole.

• National and regional building regulations impose a number of restrictions on using hoods and fuel-burning appliances connected to a chimney, such as coal or oil room-heaters and gas fires, in the same room.

• Hoods can only be used safely with appliances connected to a chimney if the room and/or flat (air/environment combination) is ventilated from outside using a suitable ventilation hole approximately 500-600 cm2 large to avoid the possibility of a depression being created during operation of the hood.

• If you have any doubts, contact the relevant controlling authority or building inspector’s office.

• Since the rule for rooms with fuel burning appliances is “outlet hole of the same size as the ventilation hole”, a hole of 500-600 cm2, which is to say a larger hole, could reduce the performance of the extractor hood.

• If the hood is used in its filtering function, it will operate simply and safely in the above conditions without the need for any of the aforementioned measures.

• When the hood is used in its extractor function, the following rules must be followed to obtain optimal operation:

- short and straight outlet ducting

- keep bends in outlet ducting to a minimum

- never install the ducts with an acute angle, they must always follow a gentle curve.

- keep the duct as large as possible (preferably the same diameter as the outlet hole).

• Failure to observe these basic instructions will drastically reduce the performance and increase the noise levels of the extractor hood.
