WARNING: GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.

WARNING – Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance.

WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.

WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
a) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium
settings.
b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the
burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately,
EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be burned.
c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.
d) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

1) You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.

2) The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.

3) The fire department is being called.

AVERTISSEMENT: CONSIGNES DE MISE À LA TERRE
Cet appareil doit être mis à la terre. En cas de court-circuit, le fil de mise à la terre limite le risque de choc électrique parce qu’il assure le retour du courant à
la terre. L’appareil est livré avec un cordon muni d’un fil de terre et d’une fiche de mise à la terre, qui doit être branchée sur une prise mise à la terre
correctement installée.
AVERTISSEMENT - Une mise à la terre incorrecte peut entraîner des risques de choc électrique.
Consulter un électricien compétent en cas de doute sur ces consignes de mise à la terre ou en cas d’incertitude concernant la mise à la terre correcte du circuit
sur lequel l’appareil est branché. Ne pas utiliser de cordon de rallonge. Si le cordon d’alimentation est trop court, faire installer une prise par un électricien
compétent à proximité de l’appareil.

The present instruction manual is an integral part of the appliance itself, therefore it must be carefully kept and ALWAYS accompany it, even in case of its assignment to another owner or user or in
case the cooker hood is moved to another installation plant.
Make sure that the voltage (V) and frequency (Hz) indicated on the data plate inside the unit match those available at the installation site. Any eventual adjustment to the electrical system, which may
be necessary to install the cooker hood, must be carried out only by competent people.
Any repair carried out by no competent people may cause damages.
For any repair or needed technical action make reference to a Technical Assistance Centre, which is authorized to carry out the replacement of the spare parts. Always make sure that all the electrical
parts (lights, exhaustion unit) are disconnected when the appliance is not in use. By storms take off the main switch of the house electrical system or if the device is equipped with a plug, simply unplug
it from the mains socket
The using of the cooker hood must not be other than the use of exhausting units for cooking damps on domestic kitchens.
The manufacturer does not accept any liability for damages caused by people, animals or things, by installation and maintenance mistakes or by any illegitimate use.
