FIRST TIME USE

When the rangehood is first switched on, it may give off an unpleasant smell. This is due to the
bonding agent used for the insulation panels within the rangehood.

Run the rangehood on the highest setting for 15 minutes before using the rangehood with the

cooktop on.

WARNINGS & SAFETY

• The appliance will become hot during use and directly after use.

• Children under the age of 8 years old should refrain from using the rangehood. Children over the
age of 8 should only use the rangehood under adult supervision.

• If any parts become damaged, they must be replaced by the manufacturer only, including the
power supply cord.

• Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers during cleaning.

• If the extractor is used in conjunction with non-electrical appliances
(e.g. gas burning appliances), a sufficient degree of aeration must be
guaranteed in the room in order to prevent the backflow of exhaust gas.
The kitchen must have an opening communicating directly with the open
air in order to guarantee the entry of clean air. When the cooker hood
is used in conjunction with appliances supplied with energy other than
electric, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0,04 mbar to
prevent fumes being drawn back into the room by the cooker hood.

• The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting
fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to
appliances that only discharge the air back into the room).

• 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.

• The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damages resulting from incorrect or improper
installation.

• The minimum safety distance between the cooker top and the extractor hood is 650 mm (some
models can be installed at a lower height, please refer to the paragraphs on working dimensions
and installation).

• Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate fixed to the inside
of the hood.

• For Class I appliances, check that the domestic power supply guarantees adequate earthing.
Connect the extractor to the exhaust flue through a pipe of minimum diameter 120 mm. The route
of the flue must be as short as possible.

• Do not connect the extractor hood to exhaust ducts carrying combustion fumes (boilers,
fireplaces, etc.).

• If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance specified above, this
has to be taken into account. Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.

• Use only screws and small parts in support of the hood.
Warning: Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these instructions may
result in electrical hazards.

• Connect the hood to the mains through a two-pole switch having a contact gap of at least 3 mm.

• Allow disconnection of the appliance from the supply after installation. The disconnection may
be achieved by having the plug accessible or by incorporating a switch in the fixed wiring in
accordance with the wiring rules.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Check the appliance for damage after unpacking it, and don’t connect the appliance if it has been
damaged in transport.

Only a licensed professional may connect the appliance - damage caused by incorrect installation is
not covered under the warranty. Ensure that the panels of the cabinetry around the rangehood are
heat resistant, and the glues and materials can withstand temperatures of at least 70 degrees Celsius.

Before fitting the hood to the wall unit: Remove the filters, disconnect the wires, remove the frame by
undoing the 4 screws on the outer edge.

The minimum safe distance between the cooktop and the extractor rangehood is 650mm.

Connect the extractor to the exhaust flume through a pipe with minimum diameter of 120mm. Do not
connect the extractor hood to exhaust ducts carrying combustible fumes.
