• The manufacturer rejects all
responsibilities for any damage caused
by improper use or wrong settings.
• Appropriate maintenance and cleaning
ensure the good working order and
the best performance of the appliance.
Regularly clean all stubborn surface dirt
to avoid grease build up. Remove and
clean or change the filter regularly.
• Never flame cook food (flambé) under
the appliance. Using free flames might
cause fire.
• Failure to observe the instructions for
cleaning the hood and replacing the
filters may result in a fire.
• Exhaust air must not be vented through
a flue used for removal of fumes
produced by gas combustion appliances
or other combustible materials, but must
have a separate outlet. All national
regulations governing extraction of
fumes must be observed.
• There shall be adequate ventilation if
the hood is being used at the same time
as other appliances using gas or other
combustible materials. The negative
pressure of the room must not exceed 4
Pa (4x 10-5 bars). For this reason ensure
that the room is well ventilated.
• Do not leave frying pans unattended
when frying, as the frying oil may catch
fire.
• Before touching the light bulbs, ensure
that they are cold.
• Do not use or leave the hood without
the light bulb correctly fitted, as this may
cause electric shock.
• The hood is not a work surface, therefore
do not place any objects on top of it or
overload it.
• During all installation and maintenance
operations wear appropriate working
gloves.
• This appliance is not suitable for outdoor
use.
WARNING: when the hob is in use,
accessible parts of the hood may
become hot.
Installation and connection
After unpacking the appliance, check for
any transport damage. In the event of
problems, contact the After-sales Service.
To prevent any damage, only remove
the appliance from its polystyrene foam
packaging at the time of installation.
Preparing for installation
WARNING: this is a heavy product; the
hood should only be lifted and
installed by two or more people.
The minimum distance between the hob and
the bottom part of the hood must not be less
than 65 cm for gas cookers and 50cm for
electric cookers.
Before installation also check the minimum
distances stated in the manual of the cooker.
If the installation instructions for the cooker
specify a greater distance between cooker
and hood, this distance must be observed.
Electrical connection
Make sure the power voltage specified on
the appliance rating plate is the same as
the mains voltage.
This information can be found on the inside
of the hood, under the grease filter.
Power cable replacement (type H05
VV-F) must be carried out by a qualified
electrician. Contact an authorized service
centre. If the hood is fitted with an electric
plug, connect the plug to a socket complying
with current regulations, located in an
accessible place.
If no plug is fitted (direct wiring to the
mains), or if the socket is not located in an
accessible place, a qualified electrician
should install a standardised double pole
power switch that will enable complete
isolation from the mains in case of category
III overvoltage conditions, in accordance
with wiring rules.
