maintenance work, disconnect the product from the mains power supply by removing the plug or turning off the mains
switch. •For all installation and maintenance operations, always wear work gloves. •The product can be used by children
over the age of 8 and by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or without experience or the
necessary knowledge, as long as they are properly supervised or have been instructed on how to safely use the device
and understand the inherent dangers. •Children must be supervised to make sure that they do not play with the product.
•Cleaning and maintenance must never be performed by children unless they are properly supervised. •The room must
have sufficient ventilation when the product is used at the same time as other appliances burning gas or other fuels. •The
product must be cleaned frequently both inside and out (AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH); always follow the instructions given
in the maintenance manual. •Failure to comply with the rules indicated for cleaning the product and replacing/cleaning the
filters may result in the risk of fire. •It is strictly forbidden to cook food on the flame under the product.• WARNING: •When
the hob is on, the accessible parts of the product may become hot. •Do not connect the product to the electrical power
supply until the installation is complete. •The regulations laid down by local authorities must be strictly followed with regard
to the technical and safety measures to adopt for fume extraction. •The extracted air must not be conveyed through the
same ducts used to extract the fumes generated by gas combustion or other types of combustion products. •Do not use or
leave the product without appropriately installed lamps, as this may result in the risk of electric shock. •The product must
NEVER be used without the grille correctly fitted. •The product must NEVER be used as a support surface unless
expressly indicated.
● Range hoods and other cooking fume extractors may adversely affect the safe operation of appliances burning gas or
other fuels (including those in other rooms) due to back flow of combustion gases. These gases can potentially result in
carbon monoxide poisoning. After installation of a range hood or other cooking fume extractor, the operation of flued gas
appliances should be tested by a competent person to ensure that back flow of combustion gases does not occur.
• To replace the lamp, only use the lamp indicated in the maintenance/lighting system section of this manual. • Using a
naked flame may damage the filters and cause a fire hazard, and must therefore be avoided under all circumstances. •
Extra care must be taken when frying to prevent the oil from overheating and catching fire. • In case of doubt, contact the
authorised service centre or similar qualified personnel.
INSTALLATION SAFETY
•Use the fixing screws supplied with the product only if suitable for the surface; otherwise purchase the correct type of
screws. •Check for accessories (e.g. bags containing screws, warranty certificates, etc.) inside the product (placed there
for transport reasons). If there are any, remove them and keep them safe. • WARNING: Failure to install screws and
fasteners in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards. •The exhaust pipe is not supplied and
must be purchased. •The diameter of the exhaust pipe must be equivalent to the diameter of the connecting ring. •For
installation of the product on the hob, respect the height indicated in the drawings •The minimum distance between the
surface of the container supports on the cooker and the lowest part of the range hood must not be less than 45 cm
(not less than 65 cm only for Australia and New Zealand)
for electric cookers and 65 cm for gas or mixed cookers. •If
the installation instructions of the gas cooker specify a greater distance, take it into account.
