RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

INSTALLATION

• 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 extrac-

tor hood is 650 mm.

• 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 guaran-

tees 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 combus-

tion fumes (boilers, fireplaces, etc.).

• If the extractor is used in conjunction with non-electrical appliances

(e.g. gas burning appliances), 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.

USE
• The extractor hood has been designed exclusively for domestic use to

eliminate kitchen smells.

• Never use the hood for purposes other than for which it has ben de-

signed.

• 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: over-

heated oil can burst into flames.

• The hood should not be used by children or persons not instructed in

its correct use.

MAINTENANCE
• Switch off or unplug the appliance from the mains supply before carry-

ing out any maintenance work.

• Clean and/or replace the Filters after the specified time period.
• Clean the hood using a damp cloth and a neutral liquid detergent.
