BEFORE MOUNTING THE APPLIANCE

INSTALLATION

NSURE the oven cavity is empty before mounting.

E
E

NSURE that the appliance is not damaged before mounting

it in the cabinet.

C

HECK THAT ALL MATERIAL for mounting the appliance is sup-

plied in the package.

T

HIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED to be mounted

over electrical or gas cooker ranges only!
The distance between the cooker range
and bottom part of this appliance must
be at least 460 mm for electrical cooker
ranges and at least 650 mm for gas cook­er ranges.

HE MANUFACTURER MUST BE CONTACTED for the mini-

T

mum mounting distance where:

Electrical range:

The cooker range has more than 4 hob el- 

ements.

The two rear elements exceed a rating of 2 

kW per element.

The two front hob elements exceed a rat- 

ing of 1.5 kW per element.

Gas range:

The gas burner develop more than 3.2 kw 

per burner

The cooker range develop more than 10 

kw in total.

E

XTERNAL EVACUATION:

THE FLANGE has a Ø 120 mm opening so that,

evacuation pipes with Ø 120 mm can be
mounted.

VACUATI ON SHOULD NOT be through a flue

E

used for the evacuation of other vapours
or burnt gas, that is through a pipe used
as a flue for open flame sources.

IF THE COOKE R HOOD IS USED TOGETHER WITH OTHER AP-

PLIANCES which consume the air in the room

(e.g. gas, diesel oil or coal appliances, water­heaters, boilers) remember that the hood as­pires air from the room which may therefore
not be sufficient for burning.

C

OOKER HOODS AND OTHER APPLIANCES REQUIRING A

FLUE, can only be used together safely if there

is a maximum depression of 0.04 mbar in room
which prevents the reabsorbing of the burnt
gases.
This is possible only if the combustion air is
evacuated through non-closing apertures
such as doors, windows, wall boxes for the
supply and evacuation of air or similar techni­cal devices such as reciprocal blocking devic­es or similar. If you are not certain call a quali­fied technician.
NOTE: For best function keep the kitchen win­dows closed when using the fan. If not you
have no negative pressure in the kitchen. But
one window in an adjacent room ought to be
open.

OR EVACUATION use flexible aluminium pipes or

F

sheet plate pipes which are resistant to corro­sion.

O NOT USE INFLAMMABLE PLASTIC PIPES. Al-

D

ways ensure that the evacuation chan­nels and pipes are as short as possible.

F YOU ARE INS TALLING THE APPLIANCE TO AN UNUSED

I

FLUE for the evacuation of vapour’s or burnt

gas, we recommend that you request the ad­vice and approval of a competent technician
before making the installation.

2

O NOT MOUNT THE PIPES AT RIGHT ANGLES. They

D

must always be curved and should be fitted
into the flue at an upward angle. The diameter
of the pipe must not narrow towards the top.
THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FAN will be reduced with
small diameter pipes.

INSTALLATION

INTERNAL RECIRCULATION
THE COOKER HOOD is used with the internal re-

circulation system when there is no pipe or
opening on the external wall. In the case of in­ternal recirculation, the optional carbon fil­ter must be installed for the absorption of the
cooking vapours.

FOLLOW THE SUPPLIED separate mounting in­structions when installing the appliance.

PRIOR TO CONNECTING

HECK THAT THE VOLTAGE on the rating

C

plate corresponds to the voltage in your
home.

D

O NOT REMOVE THE MICROWAVE INLET PROTECTION

PLATES located on the side of the oven cavi-

ty wall. They prevent grease & food particles
from entering the microwave inlet channels.

E

NSURE THAT THE APPLIANCE IS NOT DAMAGED. Check

that the oven door closes firmly against the
door support. Empty the oven and clean the
interior with a soft, damp cloth.

T

HE INTERNAL RECIRCULATION COOKER HOOD – with

carbon filter is in no way dangerous.

O NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE if it has a

D

damaged mains cord or plug, if it is not
working properly, or if it has been dam­aged or dropped. Do not immerse the
mains cord or plug in water. Keep the
cord away from hot surfaces. Electrical
shock, fire or other hazards may result.

AFTER CONNECTING

HE OVEN CAN BE OPERATED ONLY if the oven door is

T

firmly closed.
Poor television reception
and radio interference may
result if the oven is located
close to a TV, radio or aerial.

The manufacturers are not liable for any
problems caused by the user’s failure to ob­serve these instructions.

HE EARTHING OF THIS APPLIANCE is compulso-

T

ry. The manufacturer will accept no re­sponsibility for injury to persons, ani­mals or damage to objects arising from
the non-observance of this requirement.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

DO NOT HEAT, OR USE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS in
or near the oven. Fumes can create a fire
hazard or explosion.

DO NOT USE YOUR APPLIANCE FO R DRYING TEX-

TILES, PAPE R, SPICES, HERBS, WOOD, FLOWERS,
FRUIT OR OTHER COMBU STIBLE MATERIALS. FIRE
COULD RESULT.

I

F MATERIAL INSIDE / OUTSIDE THE OVEN SHOULD

IGNITE OR SMOKE IS OBSERVED, keep oven

door closed and turn the oven off. Dis­connect the power cord or shut off pow­er at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

DO NOT OVER-CO OK FOOD. Fire could result.

O NOT LEAVE THE OVEN UNATTENDED, espe-

D

cially when using paper, plastic or oth­er combustible materials in the cook­ing process. Paper can char or burn and
some plastics can melt if used when
heating foods.

DO NOT USE corrosive chemicals or va­pors in this appliance. This type of oven
is specifically designed to heat or cook
food. It is not designed for industrial or
laboratory use.

EVER PREPARE ”FLAMBÉ” DISHES under the

N

cooker hood!

N

EVER USE AN OPEN FLAME under the hood.

The use of an unprotected flame is dan­gerous for the filters and could cause
fires.

EGGS

D

ing or reheating whole eggs with or
without shell since they may
explode even after microwave
heating has ended.

EVER LEAVE THE PAN ALONE when frying

N

foods. The cooking oil can easily flare up.
This is a potential fire hazard!

NLY ALLOW CHILDREN to use the oven without

O

adult supervision after adequate instruc­tions have been given so that the child is
able to use the oven in a safe way and un­derstands the hazards of improper use.
The appliance is not intended for use by
young children or infirm persons without
supervision. Young children should be su­pervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
If your oven has a combination mode, chil­dren should only use the oven under adult
supervision due to the high temperatures
generated.

D

O NOT USE YOUR APPLIANCE FOR
HEATING ANYTHING IN AIRTIGHT
SEALED CONTAI NERS. THE PRES-
SURE INCREASES AND MAY
CAUSE DAMAGE WHE N OPENING OR
MAY EXPLODE.

THE DOOR SEALS AND THE DOOR SEAL AREAS must

be regularly inspected for damage. If these
areas are damaged the appliance should
not be operated until it has been repaired
by a trained service technician.

F THE FILTER IS DAMAGED it must be re-

I

placed. Do not use the extractor hood
without the filter. It is not designed for
such operation.

O NOT USE THE MICROWAVE FUNC TION for cook-

The manufacturers refuse to accept any responsibil­ity for damage to the hood or its catching on fire be­cause of failure to observe the above instructions.

4

PRECAUTIONS

GENERAL

HIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED FOR DOMESTIC USE ONLY!

T

HE APPLIANCE SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED without food

T

in the oven when using microwaves. Operation in
this manner is likely to damage the appliance.

F YOU PRAC TICE OPERATING the oven, put a glass

I

of water inside. The water will absorb the mi­crowave energy and the oven will not be dam­aged.

O NOT USE THE CAVITY for any storage purposes.

D

REMOVE WIRE TWIST-TIES from paper or
plastic bags before placing bag in
the oven.

DEEPFRYING

D

O NOT USE YOUR APPLIANCE FOR DEEP -FRYING, BECAUSE

THE OIL TEMPERATURE CANNOT BE CONTROLLED.

USE HOT PADS OR OVEN MITTS to prevent

burns, when touching containers, oven
parts, and pan after cooking.

LIQUIDS

E.

G. BEVERAGES OR WATER. Overheating the liquid

beyond boiling point can occur
without evidence of bubbling.
This could result in a sudden
boil over of the hot liquid.
To prevent this possibility the
following steps should be taken:

1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.

2. Stir the liquid before placing the container
in the oven and let the teaspoon remain
in the container.

3. After heating, allow standing for a short
time, stirring again before carefully re­moving the container from the oven.

CAREFUL

A

LWAYS REFER to a microwave cookbook for de-

tails. Especially, if cooking or reheating food
that contains alcohol.

A

FTER HEATING BABY FOOD or liquids in a

baby bottle or in a baby food
jar, always stir and check the
temperature before serving.
This will ensure that the heat is evenly distributed
and the risk of scalding or burns can be avoided.

Ensure the Lid and the Teat is removed be­fore heating!
