SAFETY INFORMATION

For your own safety and to ensure proper operation of the appliance, please read this manual carefully before installation and operation. Keep these instructions together with the appliance, even if it is sold or transferred to third parties. It is important that users know all the appliance’s operating and safety characteristics. The cables must be connected by a trained technician.

The manufacturer shall not be considered responsible for any injury or damage caused by improper installation or use.
The minimum safety distance between the hob and the suction hood is 650 mm (some models may be fitted at a lower height; please see the paragraph relating to working dimensions and installation).
If the instructions for installation of the gas hob specify a distance greater than the one indicated, this must be taken into account.
Check that the mains power supply corresponds to the one indicated on the data plate affixed inside the hood.
The cut-out devices must be installed in the fixed system according to wiring system regulations.
For Class I appliances, check that the domestic power supply is adequately earthed.
Connect the hood to the flue using a pipe with a minimum diameter of 120 mm. The fumes must travel the shortest distance possible.
All the air venting regulations must be complied with.
Do not connect the ducting hood to flues that also carry combustion fumes (e.g. boilers, chimneys, etc.).
If the hood is used in combination with nonelectric appliances (e.g. gas appliances), a sufficient level of ventilation must be guaranteed in the room to prevent any exhaust backflow. If the kitchen hood is used in combination with appliances that are not electrically powered, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0.04 mbar to avoid any risk of the fumes being sucked back into the room by the hood.
The air must not be extracted through a flue that is also used as an exhaust flue for fumes from gas or other fuel-powered combustion devices.
If it is damaged, the power cable must be replaced by the manufacturer or by a service technician.
Connect the plug to a socket that complies with current regulations and is in an accessible position.
As regards the technical and safety measures to be taken for exhausting of fumes, the regulations set by local authorities must be complied with scrupulously.
CAUTION: remove the protective films before installing the hood.
Only use screws and hardware of a sort suitable for the hood.
CAUTION: failure to install the screws or fixing devices as described in these instructions may mean there is a risk of elec-tric shocks.
Do not look directly at the light through optical devices (binoculars, magnifying glasses…).
Do not flambé food under the hood: you might cause a fire.
This appliance may be used by children over the age of 8 years and by persons with limited psycho-physical and sensory abilities or with insufficient experience and knowledge, provided they are carefully supervised and instructed on how to use the appli-ance safely and on the dangers that it involves.

Supervise children, to make sure they do not play with the appliance.
The appliance must not be used by persons (including children) with limited psycho-physical or sensory capacities or with insufficient experi-ence and knowledge unless they are carefully supervised and instructed.
Accessible parts may become extremely hot during the use of cooking appliances
Clean and/or replace the filters after the period indicated (danger of fire). See the paragraph on Maintenance and cleaning.
The room must be adequately ventilated when the hood is used simultaneously with appliances that use gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that only discharge air into the room).
The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that the product must not be disposed of with normal domestic waste.

USE

The suction hood has been designed exclusively for domestic use, to eliminate kitchen odours.
Never use the hood for purposes other than those for which it was designed.
Never leave high flames under the hood when it is in operation.
Adjust the intensity of the flame so that it is directed onto the bottom of the cooking pan, making sure it does not wrap around the sides.
Deep fryers must be kept under constant supervision when in use: the oil may catch fire if it gets too hot.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The activated charcoal filter cannot be washed or regenerated and must be changed approximately every 4 months of operation, or more frequently in the case of particularly in-tensive use (W).
The grease filters must be cleaned every 2 months of operation, or more frequently in the case of particularly intensive use. They can be washed in a dishwasher (Z).
Clean the hood using a damp cloth and neutral liquid detergent.
For external and internal cleaning of the hood avoid alcoholic or silicone products.

If the product or one of its parts is made of stainless steel, use specific non-abrasive products for cleaning and follow the lines of the satin finish during cleaning.
