FAQ

Can the cooker hood be used outdoors?
No, the cooker hood is designed for indoor use only.
What should I do if there is a negative pressure in the room while using the cooker hood?
Ensure proper air intakes in the room to maintain a constant flow of fresh air and prevent excessive negative pressure.

WARNING

The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
The extracted air can’t be conveyed through or into a duct used to let out fumes from appliances fed by energy other than electric power (eg. centralized heating, radiators, water heaters, etc.).
To evacuate the air outlet, please comply with the pertaining rules given by competent authorities.
– Provide the room with an adequate aeration when a cooker hood and appliances fed by energy other than electric power (gas, oil, or coal stoves, etc.) are used simultaneously. The cooker hood, when evacuating the extracted air, could generate a negative pressure in the room which can’t exceed the limit of 0.04 mbar, in order to avoid the suck of exhausts deriving from the heat source. Therefore the room should be provided with air-intakes to allow a constant flow of fresh air.
If the rating label in the cooker-hood does show the symbol the appliance is built in class 11° and it does not need the earth connection.
If the rating label in the cooker hood does not show the symbol , the appliance is built in class I° and it needs the earth connection.
When performing the electrical connections on the appliance, please make sure that the current tap is provided with earth connection and that voltage values correspond to those indicated on the label placed inside the appliance itself.
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintaining operations, the appliance needs to be removed from the electric grid.
If the appliance is not provided with a non-separable flexible cable and plug, or with another device ensuring omnipolar disconnections from the grid, with an opening distance between the contacts of at least 3 mm, then such disconnecting devices must be supplied within the fixed installation. If the appliance is endowed with a supply cord and a plug, the appliance has to be put in a place where the plug can be reached easily.
The use of materials which can burst into flames should be avoided in close proximity of the appliance. When frying, please pay particular attention to fire risk due to oil grease. Being highly inflammable, fried oil is especially dangerous.
Do not use uncovered electric grills. In order to avoid possible fire risk, all instructions for grease filter cleaning and for removing eventual grease deposits should be strictly followed.
