SAFETY PRECAUTION

1. Take care when the cooker hood is operating simultaneously with an open

fireplace or burner that depend on the air in the environment and are
supplied by other than electrical energy, as the cooker hood removes the air
from the environment which a burner or fireplace need for combustion. The
negative pressure in the environment must not exceed 4Pa (4x10-5 bar).
Provide adequate ventilation in the environment for a safe operation of the
cooker hood. Follow the local laws applicable for external air evacuation.

Before connecting the model to the electricity network:

- control the data plate (positioned inside the appliance) to ascertain that the
voltage and power correspond to the network and the socket is suitable. If in
doubt ask a qualified electrician.

2. WARNING!

In certain circumstances electrical appliances may be a danger hazard.
A) Do not check the status of the filters while the cooker hood is operating
B) Do not touch bulbs or adjacent areas, during or straight after prolonged

use of the lighting installation.
C) Flambe cooking is prohibited underneath the cooker hood
D) Avoid free flame, as it is damaging for the filters and a fire hazard
E) Constantly check food frying to avoid that the overheated oil may

become a fire hazard
