Product Safety

The hood must be used to remove odors and vapors generated during cooking thoroughly. Do not use gas or other fuel-burning appliances simultaneously with the hood. If other appliances share the same environment with the hood, such as room heaters, take precautions to ensure adequate ventilation.

Height between the bottom surface of your hood and the top surface of the oven should be no less than 650 mm for gas ovens and 500 mm for electrical ovens.
(For Model C) In electrical ovens, the highest perform-ance in the product is achieved by leaving a height of 550 mm.
Do not touch the lamps of your hood after operating the hood for a long time. Hot lamps may burn your hand.
Do not operate the appliance without an oil entrapment filter. Do not remove the filters while the appliance is operating.
Do not create a high flame un-der the product. Otherwise, the oil in the oil trap filter may ignite, causing a fire.

Turn off the oven before taking the cooking pots, pans, etc. from the ovens.
Do not keep easily flammable materials under your hood.
Do not expose the appliance to open flame. It may cause the oil accumulating in the filter to catch fire. Do not operate the appliance without a filter.
Do not leave your cooker un-attended while cooking fried foods, oils may catch fire while cooking, and hot oil may cause fire. Therefore pay at-tention to the clothes and cur-tains.
If cleaning is not performed in a timely manner, the hood may present a risk of fire.
(For Models A and B) Run your hood for another 15 minutes after the cooking or frying pro-cess to clean the kitchen air thoroughly of the odours and vapours generated during cooking.
Adequate ventilation must be available in the room when gas or other fuel-burning ap-pliances are used at the same time while the oven hood with a cooker is being used. (Not applicable for only the appli-ances that discharge air back into the room).
Gas or fuel oil burning appli-ances, such as room heaters, which share the same environ-ment with the hood, must be fully insulated from the exhaust of this product or they must be hermetical.
If there is another appliance operating with fuel oil or gaseous fuels in the environ-ment, adequate ventilation of the environment is required.
If there is another appliance operating with energy other than electrical energy in the same environment with the hood, the negative pressure in the room should be at most 0.04 mbar so that the exhaust of the other appliance is not drawn back into the room by the hood.
Do not connect to flues with heating stove connection, flues where waste gas is dis-posed from or flues with rising flames. Comply with local regulations on purging the out-flow.
Use pipes with a diameter of 120 mm when connecting a flue to your product. The pipe connection should be as short as possible and with few bends.
Easily flammable and combustible materials should not be hung on the hood handles.
Our company shall not be responsible for problems that arise for not observing any of the warnings above.
