Metal Surfaces of the extractor and condensation
When using an induction hob and cooking with pans of water some of
the steam produced by the cooking process may condense onto the cold
metallic surfaces. The amount of this condensation on any particular
surface will depend on many factors including the ambient temperature in
the kitchen, the related ambient temperature of the metal surfaces, the
general ventilation within the kitchen and the type of cooking. Using lids on
pans can help reduce the condensation. This is not a fault with either the
hob or extractor if correctly installed.

Important Safety Information
• Please dispose of the packing material carefully – children
are especially vulnerable to it.
• If the room where the extractor is to be used contains a fuel
burning appliance such as a central heating boiler then its
fl ue must be of the sealed or balanced fl ue type.
• If other types of fl ue or appliances are fi tted, ensure that
there is an adequate supply of air in the room.
• When the extractor is being used in its extractor function,
ensure that the ducting is fi re retardant and that there are
no bends sharper than 90 degrees as this will reduce the
effi ciency of the hood.
• Ensure the ducting for the extractor function has the same
diameter as the outlet hole all the way through.
• Keep young children from using, playing with or tampering
with the cooker hood. Older children and infi rm persons
should be supervised if they are using the cooker hood.
• Dirty oil is an even greater fi re risk.
• Always put lids on pots and pans when cooking on a gas
cooker.
• The manufacturer refuses to accept any responsibility for
damages arising to the extractor or it catching on fi re, from
a failure to observe the fi re safety advice contained in this
instruction booklet.
• Remember that when in extraction mode, your extractor is
removing air from your room. Ensure that proper ventilation
measures are being observed.
• Note: Your extractor is designed to remove cooking odours
from the room and not steam.
• Warning - Always ensure that the extractor has been
disconnected from the power supply before carrying out any
work, including replacing light bulbs.

from the cooking device underneath it, i.e. a naked fl ame
from a gas burner or heat from electric hob zones without a
pan on them.

way. Never attempt to use it without the grease fi lters fi tted
or if the fi lters are excessively greasy!
