which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances supplied with energy other than electric,
such as a central heating flue or water heating flue.
1.2 - Before connecting to the mains supply ensure that the mains voltage corresponds with the
voltage on the rating plate inside the hood.
1.3 - Connect the cooker hood to the mains via a bipolar switch which has 3mm clearance between
the contacts.
1.4 - For cooker hoods featuring an earth cable, make sure the electric plant of your house is correctly earthed.
1.5 - Appliance in class II are provided with a double insulation; therefore do not connect then
