Safety for children

Electrical products are dangerous to
children. Keep children away from the

do not allow them to play with the
extractor 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
extractor hood and disconnect it from the
mains. Report the damage to your dealer,
who will take the necessary corrective

Description

• The extractor 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.

Before use

Before using your new extractor 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
extractor hood.

• Remove all packaging (except the

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

• If the extractor 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).

Safety advice

• This extractor hood complies with all

relevant safety regulations.

• Never operate the extractor 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

extractor 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

extractor 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
extractor hood.

Page 4

• 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 extractor 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 extractor 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.

Electrical connection

• The extractor 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 extractor hood must be earthed.

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

• This extractor hood may not be used

with a battery inverter power supply.
