SAFETY INFORMATION

For your safety and correct operation of the appliance, read this manual carefully before installation and use. Always keep these instructions with the appliance even if you move or sell it. Users must fully know the operation and safety features of the appliance.

The wire connection has to be done by specialized technician.

The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damages resulting from incorrect or improper installation.
The minimum safety distance between the cooker top and the extractor hood is 650 mm (some models can be installed at a lower height, please refer to the paragraphs on working dimensions and installation).
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be respected.
Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate fixed to the inside of the hood.
Means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.
For Class I appliances, check that the domestic power supply guarantees adequate earthing.
Connect the extractor to the exhaust flue through a pipe of minimum diameter 150 mm or 120 mm. The route of the flue must be as short as possible.
Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.
Do not connect the extractor hood to exhaust ducts carrying combustion fumes (boilers, fireplaces, etc.).
If two or more hoods are installed, each appliance must have an independent chimney.
- If the extractor is used in conjunction with non-electrical appliances (e.g. gas burning appliances), a sufficient degree of aeration must be guaranteed in the room in order to prevent the backflow of exhaust gas. When the cooker hood is used in conjunction with appliances supplied with energy other than electric, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0,04 mbar to prevent fumes being drawn back into the room by the cooker hood.
The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced from the manufacturer or its service agent.
Connect the plug to a socket complying with current regulations, located in an accessible place.
With regards to the technical and safety measures to be adopted for fume discharging it is important to closely follow the regulations provided by the local authorities.

WARNING: Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards.

Do not look directly at the light through optical devices (binoculars, magnifying glasses…).
Do not flambè under the range hood; risk of fire.

Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.

Clean and/or replace the Filters after the specified time period (Fire hazard). See paragraph Care and Cleaning.
There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the range hood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that only discharge the air back into the room).
The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be treated as household waste.

Range hoods and other cooking fume extractors may adversely affect the safe operation of appliances burning gas or other fuel (including those in other rooms) due to back flow of combustion gases. These gases can potentially result in carbon monoxide poisoning.
After installation of a range hood or other cooking fume extractor,the operation of flued gas appliances should be tested by a competent person to ensure that back flow of combustion gases does not occur.

USE

The extractor hood has been designed exclusively for domestic use to eliminate kitchen smells.
Never use the hood for purposes other than for which it has been designed.
Never leave high naked flames under the hood when it is in operation.
Adjust the flame intensity to direct it onto the bottom of the pan only, making sure that it does not engulf the sides.
Deep fat fryers must be continuously monitored during use: overheated oil can burst into flames.
