1. RECOMMENDATIONS AND
SUGGESTIONS
• The Instructions for Use apply to several ver-
sions of this appliance. Accordingly, you may
find descriptions of individual features that do
not apply to your specific appliance.
• 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).
• Check that the mains voltage corresponds to
that indicated on the rating plate fixed to the
inside of the hood.
• For Class I appliances, check that the domestic
power supply guarantees adequate earthing.
• Connect the extractor to the exhaust flue through
a pipe of minimum diameter 120 mm. The route
of the flue must be as short as possible.
• 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 ap-
pliances), a sufficient degree of aeration must
be guaranteed in the room in order to prevent
the backflow of exhaust gas. The kitchen must
have an opening communicating directly with
the open air in order to guarantee the entry
of clean air. When the cooker hood is used
in conjunction with appliances supplied with
energy other than electric, the negative pres-
sure in the room must not exceed 0,04 mbar to
prevent fumes being drawn back into the room
by the cooker hood.
• In the event of damage to the power cable, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or by
the technical service department, in order to
prevent any risks.
• Connect the hood to the mains through a two-
pole switch having a contact gap of at least 3 mm.
• If the instructions for installation for the gas hob
specify a greater distance specified above, this
has to be taken into account. Regulations con-
cerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.
2. USE
• The extractor hood has been designed exclu-
sively for domestic use to eliminate kitchen
smells.
• Never use the hood for purposes other than for
which it has been designed.
• Never leave high naked flames under the hood
when it is in operation.
• Adjust the flame intensity to direct it onto the
bottom of the pan only, making sure that it does
not engulf the sides.
• Deep fat fryers must be continuously monitored
during use: overheated oil can burst into flames.
• Do not flambè under the range hood; risk of fire.
• This appliance is not intended for use by per-
sons (including children) with reduced physi-
cal, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
• "CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot
when used with cooking appliances".
