NOTES ON SAFETY
• Before using the appliance, please carefully read this
manual!
• The appliance is designed for household use only.
• The manufacturer reserves the right to introduce chang-
es, which do not affect operation of the appliance.
• The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage or
fire caused by the appliance resulting from failure to fol
-
low instructions in this manual.
• Cooker hood is designed to remove cooking odours. Do
not use cooker hood for other purposes.
• Connect the cooker hood operating in extraction mode
to a suitable ventilation duct (do NOT connect the cooker
to smoke or flue gas ducts, which are in use). It requires
installation of the air extraction duct to the outside. The
length of the duct (usually a pipe of Ø 120 or 150 mm)
should not be longer than 4-5 m. An air extraction duct
is also required for telescopic and furniture hoods in ab-
sorption mode.
• Cooker hood operating in air recirculation mode requires
the installation of an activated charcoal filter. In this case,
installing an extractor duct is not required, however it
is recommended to install an air guide vane (Mainly in
chimney cooker hoods).
• The cooker hood features independent lighting and ex-
haust fan that can be operated at one of several speeds.
• Depending on the type, the hood is designed to be per-
manently attached to a vertical wall over a gas or electric
stove (chimney and universal hoods); on the ceiling over
a gas or electric stove (island hoods); on the vertical built
in furniture over a gas or electric stove (telescopic and
built-in hoods). Before installing, make sure that the wall/
ceiling structure is strong enough to suspend the hood.
Some hoods are very heavy.
• For details of the installation distance above an electric
hob please refer to product technical sheet If the installa-
tion instructions of the gas cooker specify a greater dis-
tance, this must be taken into account (Fig. 1).
