WARNING!
Fire danger!
–
Clean the oil filter at least every 3 months.
–
Build-up of oily residue from poor cleaning regime will lead to an increased fire
risk.
–
Never operate the device without an oil filter.
–
Oil residue is captured in the filter during operation therefore creating increased fire
risk. Other activities exacerbating the risk should be avoided, for example never
work with an open flame such as flambe near the device.
–
This unit is suitable for use near a solid fuel (e.g. wood or coal) heater, provided any
unit has a non-removable cover preventing any sparks from escaping.
–
Hot oils and fats catch fire easily and should never be left unattended.
–
Never try to put out a fire with water. Always turn off the cooker first then smother
the flames carefully using a fire blanket, damp tea towel or similar material.
–
Operating a cooking zone without a saucepan or pot in place creates higher heat
that can damage your cooker hood, especially in the case of gas. Turn off the heat
before removing the pan.
–
Operating multiple gas burners simultaneously creates high heat, which can
damage your hood. Never operate two or more gas zones longer than 15 minutes
on a high flame setting. A large burner over 5kW (Wok) has the power of two gas
burners.
WARNING!
Electrocution hazard!
–
Never use a malfunctioning electrical item. If your hood appears to be operating
incorrectly turn off the device straight away by isolating the power or removing the
13a plug from the socket, then contact customer service.
–
Unsuitable repairs pose hazards. Repairs and replacement parts, including power
cords, must be provided by Altimo approved technicians or other trained individuals.
–
Do not use copious amounts of water to clean your hood. High pressure or steam
cleaners must not be used. Risk of electric shock.
WARNING!
Risk of burn, risk of electric shock!
–
Allow the appliance to cool down after use before cleaning or performing
maintenance tasks. It is good to isolate the power or remove the 13a plug from
the socket before starting.
–
Do not clean the control panel or switch area with a wet cloth as moisture can
damage electronical components.
–
Do not use aggressive and/or abrasive cleaning agents. Select the right product,
the surface of your hood could be damaged by using unsuitable agents.
–
For stainless steel surfaces, clean only their brushing direction. Do not use
stainless steel cleaner on the control panel or switch area.
