Precautions for operation

The hood is supplied for operation as a ducted ("air
extraction") version or a filter ("air recirculation")
version (see following page); if installed as a filter
hood, check whether it has already been fitted with a
carbon filter and if it has not, order one from an
authorised technical assistance centre.
It is therefore important to make sure that the
kitchen has adequate ventilation so that the
appliance can operate efficiently.
The appliance must not be connected to ducting
used for the discharge of fumes produced by other
appliances which are powered with any energy
sources besides electricity.
If the hood must be installed in a kitchen where there
is a water heater or gas heating system, it is strongly
recommended, for safety reasons, that the ducted
version is NOT installed.
In this case, the appliance must be fitted with an
active carbon filter, which may be purchased from
your local dealer. This will enable the appliance to be
used as an air recirculation model.
The lowest part of the hood must be positioned at
least 65 cm above the hob (for glass ceramic or
traditional electric hobs), or 75 cm if a gas hob is
installed.
If the installation instructions for the gas cooker
specify a greater distance, take this measurement
into consideration when installing the hood.
Warning! Where hoods with non-stainless steel
exteriors are installed (including painted finishes,
adhesive films or applications of any type), make
sure that the finish consists of a fireproof material
and only use the product after authorisation is given
following a detailed and precise risk assessment
procedure, performed by a qualified technician who is
endorsed by the relevant local authorities.
If the hood is used at the same time as a burner or
fire which is dependent on the air in the room during
the combustion process (such as gas-, fuel oil-, coal-
or wood-fired heating systems, water heaters, etc.)
exercise extreme caution as the hood removes air
from the room.
For safe operation, the underpressure must not
exceed 0.04 mbar; this will prevent exhaust fumes
from being drawn back into the room.

This can be achieved by ensuring air inlets which
cannot become blocked are provided, for example
outside wall air circulation vents, doors, windows or
other technical devices.
Flambée cooking damages filters and can cause
fires; avoid cooking in this manner at all costs.
This hood is intended for domestic use only.
This hood may only be used for the extraction of
fumes and smoke produced while cooking foods.
For all problems relating to the discharge of smoke,
please refer to the legislation set out by the relevant
local authority.
We shall not be held responsible for any
damage or fires resulting from the non-
observance of the above instructions when using this
appliance.

Information relating to installation

The hood can operate in the following ways:
Ducted ("air extraction") version:
Smoke and steam are drawn in, then directed
through a suitable duct (sold separately) until they
are expelled outside or into a purpose-built shared
exhaust duct.
If fitted, remove the carbon filter.
The airflow deviator must not be installed.
Filter ("air recirculation") version:
Smoke and steam are drawn in and purified using an
active carbon filter, then redirected back into the
kitchen with the help of the airflow deviator.
Make sure that the hood is already fitted with a
carbon filter; if necessary, order one and install it.
You will also need a short piece of ducting (sold
separately) to connect the motor assembly outlet to
the flow deviator.
