YOUR SAFETY AND THAT OF OTHERS IS
VERY IMPORTANT.

This manual and the appliance itself provides
important safety messages, to be read and
observed at all times.

This is the attention symbol, relevant to
safety, warning of potential risks to the user and to
others. All safety warnings are preceded by the
attention symbol and the following words:

how to reduce the risk of injury, damage and
electric shock resulting from incorrect use of the
appliance.
Carefully observe the following instructions:

• Installation must be carried out at least by a

specialised technician, in compliance with the
manufacturer's instructions and the current local
safety regulations.
Do not repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless specifically indicated in the user
manual.

• The specialised technician can determine the

appropriate extractor hood exhaust air ducting

Fixing must be suitable for the weight of the
hood and the load.

• The appliances are designed for installation flush

with the ceiling.

• The appliance must be disconnected from the

power supply before carrying out any
installation work.

• Earthing of the appliance is compulsory. (Not

necessary for class II hoods identified by the

• The exhaust air must not be discharged through
a duct used to remove fumes produced by
appliances running on gas or other fuels, but
must have an independent outlet. All the
national regulations on exhausting air must be
observed.

• If the hood is used together with other
appliances operating on gas or other fuels, the
negative pressure in the room must not exceed
4 Pa (4 x 10-5 bar).
