Important warnings
This appliance should be installed by a qualified professional according
to current standards.
Important: keep these instructions for use with the appliance. If the
appliance should be sold or passed on to others, make sure that the
instructions are passed on with it. We thank you for taking note of these
suggestions before installing and using the appliance. They have been
written for your personal safety and the safety of others.
- Note: The bottom of any item fixed above the hood must be at least 400 mm
(15.8 in.) above the open hood.
- Attention: When moving the hood, never place hands inside the operating
radius of the pull-out carriage.
- The air collected must not be conveyed into a duct used to blow off smokes
from appliances fed with an energy other than electricity (central heating
systems, thermosiphons, water-heaters, etc.).
- Air ventilation should be performed according to current local requirements.
Do not connect the appliance to an exhaust duct for a boiler, fireplace, etc.,
or to an automatic room ventilation system. The exhaust duct must not under
any circumstances be routed in such a way that it empties into an attic.
- Allow adequate space between the hood and other appliances in the room
powered by an energy source other than electricity so that the hood does not
intake their exhaust gases. As it evacuates the air, the hood may create
negative pressure in the room. To avoid negative pressure exceeding 4 Pa,
proper ventilation should be provided in the room to ensure a constant flow of
fresh air when using the hood in evacuation mode at the same time as a
heating system.
- During operation in evacuation mode, an opening for air entry approximating
the size of the evacuation opening is sufficient to avoid creating negative
pressure in the room, which could interfere with the proper functioning of gas,
oil or carbon-powered appliances.
The instructions above do not apply to hood operation in recycling mode,
which does not present any known dangers.
- The appliance must be unplugged during installation and before performing
maintenance.
Installation of this appliance should be performed by a qualified technician.
