Precautions and tips
General safety
!
The distance between the supporting surface for
the cooking vessels on the hob and the lower part
of the hood must be at least 65 cm.
If the instructions for installation for the hob specify
a greater distance, this has to be taken into account.
!
ATTENTION: This appliance must be grounded.
When making the electrical connection, ensure
that the power outlet is earthed.
When making the electrical connections, check
that the current socket has a ground connection.
!
Avoid using materials which could cause spurts
of flame (flambées) near the appliance.
!
When frying, take particular care to prevent oil
and grease from catching fire. Already used oil
is especially dangerous in this respect.
!
Do not use uncovered electric grates.
!
Do not place weights above the hood.
Air vent
Should you install the ducting version, prepare the air
vent hole and duct.
In the Ducting version, to get optimal conditions the air
venting pipe should: be as short as possible, have the
lowest number of bends (max bende angle: 90°, be
made of material approved by local authorities
(according to the State), have its inner side as regular
and smooth as possible. It is moreover recommended
to avoid drastic changes of pipe cross section
(recommended diameter: 150 mm).
!
The air collected must not be conveyed into a duct
used to blow off smokes from appliances fed with
an energy other than electricity (central heating
systems, thermosiphons, water-heaters, etc.).
!
Comply with the official instructions provided by
the competent authorities in merit when installing
the disposal duct. In addition, exhaust air should
not be discharged into a wall cavity, unless
the cavity is designed for that purpose.
!
The room must be well aerated in case a hood
and some other heat equipment fed with an energy
other than electricity (gas, oil, coal heaters, etc)
operate at the same time. In fact the ducting hood,
disposing of air, could create a vacuum in the room.
The vacuum should not exceed 0,04mbar.
This prevents the gas exhausted by the heat source
from being intaken again. It is therefore advisable
to ensure the room contains air taps able to ensure
a steady flow of fresh air.
Disposal
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires
that old household electrical appliances must
not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal
waste stream.
Old appliances must be collected separately in order
to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials
they contain and reduce the impact on human health
and the environment.
The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product
reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose
of the appliance it must be separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or
retailer for information concerning the correct disposal
of their old appliance.
