Recommendations
and suggestions
• The manufacturer will not be held
liable for any damages resulting from
incorrect or improper installation.
• The minimum safety distance be-
tween the hood and heat source is
650mm.
• Check that the mains voltage corre-
sponds 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 combustion
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 guaran-
teed 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 hood is used in
conjunction with appliances supplied
with energy other than electric, the
negative pressure in the room must
not exceed 0,04 mbar to prevent
fumes being drawn back into the
room by the hood.
• The air must not be discharged into
a flue that is used for exhausting
fumes from appliances burning gas
or other fuels (not applicable to
appliances that only discharge the air
back into the room).
• In the event of damage to the power
cable, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or by an Award au-
thorised service centre, in order to
prevent any risks.
• If the instructions for installation for
the gas hob specify a greater dis-
tance specified above, this has to
be taken into account. Regulations
concerning the discharge of air have
to be fulfilled.
• Use only screws and small parts in
support of the hood.
Warning: Failure to install the screws
or fixing device in accordance with
these instructions may result in elec-
trical hazards.
• Connect the hood to the mains
through a two-pole switch having a
contact gap of at least 3 mm.
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 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 can be used by children
aged from 8 years and above and
persons with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge if they have
