•The cooker hood must be at least 50 cm above electric burners or electric range, or at least 65 cm above gas burners or gas range.

•Ensure that the power cord does not get squeezed at the installation.

•The cooker hood is only dead when the plug or the fuse is disconnected.

•The cooker hood cannot be connected to flues of other appliances that run on energy sources other than electricity. Please, keep to the provisions of official directives regarding the question of fumes discharge.

Use of cooker hood

•Never leave any deep-frying, melting fat, paraffin or any other inflammable unattended on the hob. If event of fire: Immediately switch off the cooker hood and the cooker. Note! Cover the fire. Never use water.

•Never do any flambé cooking underneath the cooker hood. It can cause a fire. Remember that overheated fat may spontaneously ignite. Never leave the fraying pan unattended.

•It is essential that the grease filter is regularly cleaned to avoid fat to drip on to the hot zone and cause fire. Read also the part “Maintenance and Cleaning” in the instruction book.

Using the cooker hood

The control panel

Best results are obtained by using low speed for normal conditions and high speed when smells and steam are more concentrated.

Turn the hood on a few minutes before you start cooking then you will get an underpressure in the kitchen. It should be left on after cooking for about 15 minutes or until all steam and smells have disappeared.

The control panel has two switches; one for the lamp and one for the fan, enabling you to select one of three speeds. (Fig. 2).

Correct ventilation

If the cooker hood should be working correctly there must be an underpressure in the kitchen. It is important to keep the

kitchen windows closed and have a window in an adjacent room open.

Important to know

Not applicable for recirculation. Great care must be taken
if
the hood is used at the same time as a burner or fireplace
(e.g. gas, diesel, coal or wood heaters, water heaters, etc.),
as
the hood will expel air which is required by these other
appliances. Attend to it by opening a window. The negative	3
pressure in the room must not exceed 0,04 mbar to prevent
fumes being drawn back into the room by the cooker hood.
