This section contains safety instructions
that will help you avoid risk of injury and
damage. All warranties will be void if you
do not follow these instructions.

General safety

• This chimney hood is not intended for

use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning
the use of the chimney hood by a person
responsible for their safety.

• Children must be supervised to prevent

them from tampering with the chimney
hood.

• Connect the chimney hood to an earthed

outlet/line protected by a fuse of
suitable capacity. Have the earth
installation made by a qualified
electrician. This chimney hood must be
earthed and the manufacturer and the
seller do not accept responsibility for
any damage due to incorrect installation
or electrical connection.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must

be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.

• Do not operate the chimney hood if it is

defective or has any visible damage.

• Do not carry out any repairs or

modifications on the chimney hood.

• Never wash down the chimney hood

with water! There is a risk of electric
shock!

• Never use the chimney hood when your

judgment or coordination is impaired by
the use of alcohol and/or drugs.

• The chimney hood must be

disconnected from the mains during
installation, maintenance, cleaning and
repair procedures.

Important safety instructions

• Do not place any flammable materials

close to the chimney hood.

• Make sure that the chimney hood

function knobs are switched off after
every use.

Safety for children

Electrical products are dangerous to
children. Keep children away from the
chimney hood when it is operating and do
not allow them to play with the chimney
hood. The packaging materials will be
dangerous for children. Keep the
packaging materials away from children.
Please dispose of all parts of the
packaging in a responsible manner.

Plastic bags should be cut up to prevent
children playing with them and
accidentally suffocating.

Safety when working with electricity

Defective electric equipment is one of the
major causes of house fires.

Any work on electrical equipment and
systems should only be carried out by
authorized and qualified persons.

In case of any damage, switch off the
chimney hood and disconnect it from the
mains. Report the damage to your dealer,
who will take the necessary corrective
action.

Intended use

This cooker hood is designed for domestic
use. Commercial use will void the
warrantee.

CAUTION:

The manufacturer shall not be liable for
any damage caused by improper use or
handling errors.

• Do not touch any part of the light

fittings or adjacent areas during or
straight after prolonged use as they get
very hot and could cause severe burns.

• In certain circumstances electrical

appliances may be a hazard.

• Do not check the status of the filters

while the chimney hood is operating.

• Avoid leaving exposed flames

unattended and always ensure that the
burners are covered as open flames are
damaging for the filters and a fire
hazard.

• Constantly check food frying to avoid

overheated oil becoming a fire hazard.

• There must be adequate ventilation of

the room when the chimney hood is
used at the same time as appliances
burning gas or other fuels.

• There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not

carried out in accordance with the
instructions.

• The chimney hood uses a 220-

230V~ /50Hz power supply.

• If the mains power cord is damaged, it

must be replaced by a qualified
electrician.

• The power cord is located in the

chimney area. Should you require an
installation with no visible wiring, a 15
amp earthed plug socket should be
accessible either in the ceiling above
the extractor hood or on the wall behind
the chimney area. (A qualified
electrician should provide this facility).

• The chimney hood must be earthed.

The manufacturer and the seller do
not accept responsibility for any
damage due to incorrect electrical
connection.

• This chimney hood may not be used

with a battery inverter power supply.

Safety advice

Before use

• This chimney hood complies with all

relevant safety regulations.

• Never operate the chimney hood

without a grease filter.

• Never leave cooking fat or oil

unattended. Overheated fat or oil can
easily catch fire.

• Do not flambé food directly under the

chimney hood. The flames pose the risk
of the grease filter catching fire. (see
page 10 Maintenance and cleaning).

• Restrictions apply to the use of the

chimney hood over a solid fuel or gas
stove. (See Preparing for installation on
page 5).

• Switch off the power at the mains in the

event of a fault or when cleaning the
chimney hood.

Before using your new chimney hood for
the first time, please read this manual
carefully. It contains important
information concerning your personal
safety as well as on the use and care of the
chimney hood.

• Remove all packaging (except the

protective film on the two chimney
sections) and dispose of it in an
environmentally friendly manner.

• If the chimney hood is damaged in any

way, do not use it. Report the damage to
your dealer, who will take the necessary
corrective action. (Refer to Owner’s
responsibility on page 11 of this
manual).

Description

• The chimney hood fan extracts the

kitchen vapours and passes them
through the grease filter.

• The grease filter absorbs the solid

particles in the cooking vapours,
keeping the kitchen almost free of
grease.
