GUIDELINES CONCERNING THE SAFETY OF USE
l The manufacturer will accept no respon-
i
sibility for any damage due to installation
or operation not conforming to these in-
structionsi
l Cooker hood is designed to remove co-
oking odours. Do not use cooker hood for
other purposes.
l Connect the cooker hood operating in
extraction mode to a suitable ventilation
duct (do NOT connect the cooker to smo-
ke or flue gas ducts, which are in use). It
requires installation of the air extraction
duct to the outside. The duct length (typi-
cally 120 or 150mm in diameter) should
not exceed 4-5 m. The air exhaust duct
is also required for telescopic and under
furniture cooker hoods operating in air re-
circulation mode.
l Cooker hood operating in air recircula-
tion mode requires the installation of an
activated charcoal filter. In this case, in-
stalling an extractor duct is not required,
however it is recommended to install an
air guide vane. (chimney cooker hoods
only).
i
l The cooker hood features independent
lighting and exhaust fan that can be ope-
rated at one of several speeds.
l Depending on the type, the hood is de-
signed to be permanently attached to a
vertical wall over a gas or electric stove
(chimney and universal hoods); on the
ceiling over a gas or electric stove (island
hoods); on the vertical built in furniture
over a gas or electric stove (telescopic
and built-in hoods). Before installing,
make sure that the wall/ceiling structure
is strong enough to suspend the hood.
Some hoods are very heavy.
l For details of the installation distance
above an electric hob please refer to
product technical sheet If the installation
instructions of the gas cooker specify a
greater distance, this must be taken into
account (Fig. 1a/b/c).
l Do not leave an open flame under the
hood. When the pots are removed from
the burner, set the minimum flame. Al-
ways make sure that the flame does not
extend outside the pot, because it causes
unwanted loss of energy and a dangero-
us concentration of heat.
l Any food cooked in fat shall be constantly
monitored, since overheated fat can ig-
nite very easily.
l Pull the plug of the power cord from a
wall socket before any filter cleaning or
repair operation.
l The textile grease filter should be re-
placed, and the aluminium filter should
be cleaned at least every one month in
connection with the existing fire danger
(saturated fat is very flammable).
l If any other non-electric devices are used
in the same room as the hood (e.g. liq-
uid fuel ovens, flow-through or volumetric
water heaters), it is necessary to provide
appropriate ventilation (air supply). Safe
operation is possible when during simul-
taneous operation of the hood and com-
bustion devices dependent on air supply
the negative pressure of not more than
0.004 milibar is maintained at the loca-
tion of these devices inside the room (this
point does not apply when the hood is
used as an odour absorber).
l Do not lean on hood
l The hood should be frequently cleaned
inside and on the outside surfaces (at
least once a month). See "Cleaning sec-
tion" in this manual.
l If the power wire gets broken, it should
be replaced with a new one in a specialist
repair shop.
l Make sure the appliance can be easily
disconnected from the mains, either by
pulling the plug out of the mains socket,
or by switching the two-pole switch off.
l This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, un-
less they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the ap-
pliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
l Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
l Check if the voltage indicated on the rat-
ing plate corresponds to the local power
supply parameters.
l Before installing unwind and straighten
the power cord.
l Warning! The packaging materials (poly-
ethylene bags, small pieces of foamed
polystyrene etc.) should be kept away
from children while unpacking.
l NOTE: Before connecting the hood to the
mains power supply always check that
the power cord is properly installed and is
not trapped by the appliance. It is recom-
mended to make sure the hood operates
correctly before installation.
