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 of the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be respected.

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 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 bar 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 by 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.
