BEFORE INSTALLATION

THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING AN EVENT RANGEHOOD.

IMPORTANT

• Please read this section thoroughly before attempting to install or operate the rangehood. Inspect your product upon
receipt. Any damage or defects MUST be reported within 48 hours, or no claim will be recognised.

• Before installing the electrical connections, you should:

– Verify that the indicated electrical data coincide with the voltage values and frequency of the electrical circuit in the
house where the rangehood is to be installed;
– Check that the premises has electrical protection against short circuits and electrocution, pursuant to the applicable
legislation;
– Always switch off the current using the double-pole switch before maintenance and turn the power on again for
normal use only when the operation has been completed.

• DO NOT INSTALL THIS APPLIANCE IF YOU FIND IT DAMAGED.

• If this product is installed damaged, neither the supplier, nor the retailer, will be responsible for the costs associated with
the repair, replacement, removal or re-installation of the appliances.

• Please read the entire instructions before installing the rangehood, always switch power off prior to installation. All
electrical work must be done by a registered electrician in accordance with local and national electrical codes as
applicable. For your safety, this product must be earthed.

• The power socket must be accessible and enable the end user to isolate the rangehood from the power for the purpose
of internal cleaning or maintenance.

• Check the contents of the packaging, check all electrical functions of the canopy before installation. Canopy is heavy.
Please ensure adequate care when installing to prevent personal injury.

• A power outlet should be within reach of the power cord exit from the rangehood.

• The canopy hood is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or metal
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• There must be adequate ventilation of the room when the rangehood is used at the same time as appliances burning
gas or other fuels.

• There is a fire risk if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions. You must read the details concerning
the method and frequency of cleaning.

• Do not flambé under the rangehood. This will void the warranty.

• Exhaust air must not be discharged into an existing flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas
or other fuels.

• The minimum distance between the hob surface and the lowest part of the rangehood is 650mm. This distance shall
be at least 650mm, if the rangehood is installed over a gas hob. If the instructions for the gas hob specify a greater
distance, this has to be taken into account.

• Attention should be given to ensure that any applicable regulations concerning the discharge of exhaust air is fulfilled.
Even a partial obstruction will restrict the efficiency of the rangehood.

• Stainless steel is very easily damaged during installation if abraded or knocked by tools. Protect the rangehood with the
cardboard box or plastic bag during installation.

• CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.

• We recommend this appliance be installed and repaired by a qualified technician.

• It is dangerous to modify any part of this appliance. Modification of any kind, will immediately void the warranty.

• The manufacturer declines all responsibility in case of failure to adopt proper safety measures.

• Please consult local laws and regulations and install in accordance.

• Use an electrical connector with earth that is correct for your location.

• Check that the voltage in your area corresponds to the appliance as indicated on the rating label.

• This appliance must be connected to an electricity supply with a ground connection.

• Check that the installation and electrical connections are made by a qualified technician and that the indicated
instructions and local regulations in force are met, using materials that are compliant with the applicable legislation.

• The company will not be responsible for installations executed by non-qualified persons and installations that fail to
heed the applicable legislation on electrical safety (with regard to both modes and materials).

• The electrical technical data can be found inside the rangehood, after removing the grease filters.

• The flexible power cable supplied is already connected internally and emerges from the rangehood near the air outlet
tube.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

• Always switch off and disconnect power before cleaning.

• The rangehood surface should be cleaned with soft cloth and non-corrosive detergent. Wash with warm soapy water
and a soft sponge. Never use abrasive detergent, scouring pads, steel wool or solvents on any part of this appliance,
Always make sure to dry the appliance after cleaning and never leave wet, as this will cause irreparable damage.

• Clean the interior of the rangehood with a damp cloth and a neutral detergent or denatured alcohol.

• For better results, you can use high quality cleaning and protection products (e.g. Steel Kleen) to clean rangehood.

• Do not leave the rangehood surface wet after cleaning.

• Particular care must be taken with the aluminium filters which must be periodically cleaned (at least every month, this will
vary depending on frequency of cooking and type of foods cooked). Remove the grease filters and wash them either by
hand using hot soapy water or in the dishwasher using mild detergent. Do not scrub. Note - some discolouration of the
frame may occur when washing in the dishwasher Caution: Never use abrasive or oil based liquid cleaners.

• If the grease filters are very dirty, the motor will extract only a small quantity of air, which reduces its efficiency. The
grease deposits that build up on the filter are highly flammable and COULD EASILY CATCH FIRE. The manufacturer is
exonerated from all responsibility in the event of fire due to poor maintenance of the grease filters.

• Important: Never attempt to repair this appliance by yourself. Always refer to a qualified Service Technician. Remember
to always switch off the electricity and unplug the connection before conducting maintenance or cleaning.

• Care must be taken to avoid the bulb falling onto the hob top

• Replace the bulb by inserting it into the socket and hand turning in a clockwise direction

ELECTRICAL CORD

Ensure the supply cord is not exposed to heat, chemicals or sharp objects. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

FOR USERS

• This product is designed for household use and should not be used outside or for commercial applications. After use,
always ensure that all controls are in the “OFF” position. When frying with a gas flame, take particular care not to allow
the oil or grease in the pan to catch fire. (Flambé)

• Do not leave the frying pan or fryer unattended, as the oil could overheat and catch fire.

• Never flambé any foods beneath the rangehood. The flames could cause a fire.

• Before carrying out any operation inside the rangehood, unplug the appliance from the electrical mains.

• Respect the cleaning frequencies and intervals for changing the filters, as otherwise the accumulated grease could cause
a fire or damage the product.

• Changes made to the steel surface will render the warranty invalid.

FOR INSTALLERS

• In addition to the size, the height of the rangehood above the cooktop is important to obtain the best performance.

• For recommended height, please refer to Mounting Laws and Regulations.

BEST
