ADVICE AND RECOMMENDATIONS

WARNINGS

INSTALLATION

The manufacturer does not assume responsibility for damage due to erroneous or incorrect installation.
The minimum safety distance between the cooktop and the exhaust hood is 650mm (some models may be installed lower, refer to the sections on dimensions and installation).
Verify, that the available mains voltage complies with the rated voltage of the exhaust hood indicated on the product label inside the appliance.
In case of appliances with class I. contact protection, verify, whether the household power supply provides adequate earth protection.
Connect the exhaust hood to an exhaust duct with a pipe of at least 120mm diameter. Keep the length of the exhaust duct to the minimum, as much as possible.
Do not connect the exhaust hood to the flue of appliances, which produce combustion products, or exhaust gases (gas heaters, fireplaces, etc.).
If the exhaust hood is used with appliances other than electric (e.g. stove with gas burner), adequate ventilation must be ensured within the room, in order to prevent the backflow of exhaust gases. The kitchen should have an opening directly connected to outdoor air, to ensure the entry of fresh air.
If the kitchen exhaust hood is used with appliances powered by other sources, than electricity, the negative pressure within the room may not exceed the 0.04 mbar value, in order to prevent the reverse suction of smoke and gases indoors by the exhaust hood.
In event of damage to the supply cable, the cable must only be replaced by the manufacturer or at an authorized service location, to avoid any potential risks.
In case the installation instructions of a stove with a gas burner specifies a greater installation height, that distance shall be applied. Always observe the requirements applicable to air replacement.

USE

Ensure adequate ventilation in the room, if the kitchen exhaust hood is used simultaneously with other appliances using gas or other fuel types (this does not apply to exhaust hoods, which return the air into the room when set to recycling ventilation).
This exhaust hood is exclusively designed for household use, to eliminate smells in the kitchen.
Never use the exhaust hood for purposes other than designated.
Never leave a high open flame burning under the exhaust hood.
Set the flame intensity so that it is directed towards the bottom of the pan, and it does not extend around the sides.
Fryers should be continuously monitored during use: oil can catch fire, if overheated.
Avoid the use of open flames under the exhaust hood, as this presents a risk of fire.
This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years or above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, provided that they are supervised or have been given instructions concerning the safe use of the appliance and understand the hazards involved.
Keep children supervised. Do not allow children to play with the appliance.
Cleaning and user maintenance may not be carried out by children without proper supervision.
CAUTION: Accessible parts of the exhaust hood may become hot, if used together with cooking appliances.

MAINTENANCE

Regularly clean the kitchen exhaust hood and its filter, according to the given instructions.
Before starting any maintenance work on the appliance, disconnect the plug from the mains socket.
Clean the exhaust hood with a moistened cloth and neutral liquid detergent.
This appliance serves up to 4 cooktop units.

DISPOSAL

Waste equipment must be collected and disposed separately from household waste because it may contain components hazardous to the environment or health. Used or waste equipment may be dropped off free of charge at the point of sale, or at any distributor which sells equipment of identical nature and function. Dispose of product at a facility specializing in the collection of electronic waste. By doing so, you will protect the environment as well as the health of others and yourself. If you have any questions, contact the local waste management organization. We shall undertake the tasks imposed upon the manufacturer pursuant to the relevant regulations and shall bear all associated costs arising from such.

INSTALLATION

DRILLING AND MONTING THE BRACKET

Carefully read the instructions for use.
Remove the exhaust hood from its packaging and verify the operation of all of its functions. Verify, whether the rated voltage (V) and frequency (Hz) indicated on the product label is equivalent to the supply voltage and frequency available at the installation site.
Ensure there is no electric wiring, piping, etc. behind the mounting surface to be drilled.
Stainless steel and glass surfaces of the exhaust hood can easily get damaged, if scratched or impacted by the tools during installation. Pay attention to the protection of these surfaces during installation.
Protect the surface of the cooktop below with a sheet of cardboard paper or similar means, to avoid causing any damage during the installation of the exhaust hood.
The manufacturer does not take responsibility for failure to observe safety regulations applicable to the correct and normal use of electric appliances.

Select the Ventilation Mode:

Somogyi-TORNADO-Series-Kitchen-Extractor-Hood-fig-7

INFORMATION

Adequate combustion and gas exhaust requires the presence of a sufficient amount of air in the flue (chimney) of appliances using combustible fuels, in order to prevent reversed air-flow.
In the course of evaluation of air-pressure, the entire ventilation system of the house/flat needs to be considered.
Authority regulations applicable to the delivery of extracted air must be observed. If the exhaust hood is used in recycling ventilation mode with an activated carbon or cotton filter, no limitations apply to the operation of the appliance.
If external ventilation mode is preferred, two types of ventilation methods are possible, by “horizontal connection” and “vertical connection”. Use a suitable too to remove the cover, and install the butterfly-valve into the opening before use.
The square-shaped butterfly valve required for “horizontal connection” is not included in the supply.

Preparation of Installation:

Before the commencement of installation works, ensure that the appliance is disconnected from power supply. The plug should be positioned to ensure easy disconnection and connection.
The help of two persons will be required to install the exhaust hood. The following tools and materials will be required to complete installation.
Required tools:
- Drill suitable for the type of wall
- Phillips head screwdriver
- Measuring band
- Kitchen saw or jigsaw
- Installation and electrical connection should be performed by a qualified person, with he observation of all applicable rules and standards, also including the consideration of fire-resistance.
- Do not vent the extracted air into to the flue (chimney) of other appliances using gas, or other combustible fuels.

INSTALLATION INTO CABINET

Drill a hole of 130mm diameter and four holes of 3.5mm diameter arranged, as shown on the image below.
Warning: Failure to follow these instructions for the installation of bolts and the fastening device may result in electric hazards.
CAUTION: If the kitchen exhaust hood will be used in recycling ventilation mode, the 130 mm diameter hole is not required.
Fasten the exhaust hood to the kitchen cabinet using the 4 bolts. Temporarily fitting the exhaust hood, check the correct position of mounting bolts. If correct, set the appliance into position. Tighten the bolts, if needed.

INSTALLATION ON WALL

To mount the exhaust hood on the wall, drill the top two holes of 10mm diameter at a distance of 538 mm, symmetrical to the exhaust outlet in the middle, as shown on the image below. Ensure that the exhaust hood is positioned exactly above the cooktop.
Fit two plastic dowels (included) into the holes.
Place two bolts into the top two dowels, and tighten them so that they protrude by 3mm from the wall surface.
Hang the kitchen exhaust hood on the top two bolts and mark the position of the two bottom bolts.
Remove the exhaust hood from the wall, drill the two bottom holes, then fit the plastic dowels into the holes.
Hang the exhaust hood on the top two bolts, fit the bottom bolts and tighten them all.
