WARNINGS FOR THE INSTALLER
TECHNICAL SAFETY
Before installing the hood, check the integrity and function of
each part. Should anomalies be noted, do not proceed with
installation and contact the Dealer.
Do NOT install the hood if an aesthetic (or cosmetic) defect has been
detected. Put it back into its original package and contact the dealer.
No claim can be made for aesthetic (or cosmetic) defects once it has been
installed.
During installation, always use personal protective equipment (e.g.: Safety shoes)
and adopt prudent and proper conduct.
The installation kit (screws and plugs) supplied with the hood is only to be used on
masonry walls: in case of installation on walls of a different material, assess other
installation options keeping in mind the type of wall surface and the weight of the
hood.
Keep in mind that installations with different types of fastening systems from those
supplied, or which are not compliant, can cause electrical and mechanical seal
danger.
Do not install the hood outdoors and do not expose it to atmospheric elements
(rain, wind, etc.).
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The electrical system to which the hood is to be connected must
be in accordance with local standards and supplied with earthed
connection in compliance with safety regulations in the country of
use. It must also comply with European standards regarding radio
antistatic properties.
Before installing the hood, check that the electrical mains power supply
corresponds with what is reported on the identification plate located inside the
hood.
The socket used to connect the installed equipment to the electrical power supply
must be within reach: otherwise, install a mains switch to disconnect the hood
when required.
Any changes to the electrical system must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
Do not try to solve the problem yourself in the event of equipment malfunction, but
contact the Dealer or an authorised Servicing Department for repairs.
When installing the hood, disconnect the equipment by removing
the plug or switching off the main switch.
FUMES DISCHARGE SAFETY
Do no connect the equipment to discharge pipes of fumes
produced from combustion (for example boilers, fireplaces, etc.).
Before installing the hood, ensure that all standards in force regarding discharge of
air out of the room have been complied with.
USER WARNINGS
These warnings have been drawn up for your personal safety and
those of others. You are therefore kindly asked to read the booklet
carefully in its entirety before using the or cleaning the equipment.
The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage caused directly,
or indirectly, to persons, things and pets as a consequence of failing to
comply with the safety warnings indicated in this booklet.
It is imperative that this instructions booklet is kept together with the
equipment for any future consultation.
If the equipment is sold or transferred to another person, make sure that the
booklet is also supplied so that the new user can be made aware of the hood's
operation and relative warnings.
After the stainless steel hood has been installed, it will need to be cleaned to
remove any residues remaining from the protection adhesive as well as any
grease and oil stains which, if not removed, can cause irreversible damage to the
hood surface. To properly clean the unit, the manufacturer recommends using the
supplied moist wipes, which are also available sold separately.
Insist on original spare parts.
INTENDED USE
The equipment is solely intended to be used to extract fumes generated from
cooking food in non-professional domestic kitchens: any other use is
improper. Improper use can cause damage to persons, things, pets and
exempts the Manufacturer from any liability.
The equipment can be used by children over the age of 8 and by persons with
reduced physical, sensory and mental abilities, or with no experience or
knowledge, as long as they do so under supervision or after having received
relative instructions regarding safe use of the equipment and understanding of the
dangers connected to it.
Children are not to play with the equipment. Cleaning and maintenance by the

oil can catch fire.
Do not leave open, unattended flames under the hood.
Do not prepare food over an open flame under the hood.
Never use the hood without the metal anti-grease filters: in this case, grease and
dirt will deposit in the equipment and compromise its operation.

cooking appliances.
Do not carry out any cleaning operations when parts of the hood are still hot.
There can be a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out according to the instructions
and products indicated in this booklet.
Disconnect the main switch when the equipment is not used for long periods of
time.
If other appliances that use gas or other fuels are being used at
the same time (boiler, stove, fireplaces, etc.), make sure the room
where the fumes are discharged is well-ventilated, in compliance
with the local regulations.
