ance with the regulations in force.
DO NOT use the hood if the power supply cable or other components are damaged:
disconnect the hood from the electrical power supply and contact the Dealer or an author-
ised Servicing Dealer for repairs.

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 (indicated on spec
sheets at the beginning of this manual).
Keep in mind that installations with different types of fastening systems from those sup-
plied, 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 ac-
cordance with local standards and supplied with earthed connection in
compliance with safety regulations in the country of use. It must also com-
ply with local 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.
The maximum length of the flue fastening screws (supplied by the manufacturer) must be
13 mm. Use of non-compliant screws with these instructions can lead to danger of an elec-
trical nature.
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 in-
directly, 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 protective coating 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 cook-
ing 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 user must
not be carried out by children without supervision.
USE AND CLEANING WARNINGS
Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance operations, disconnect the
equipment by removing the plug or switching off the main switch.
Do not use the hood with wet hands or bare feet.
Always check that all electrical parts (lights, extractor fan) are off when the equipment is
not being used.
The maximum overall weight of any objects placed or hung (if applicable) on the hood must
not exceed 3lb 5oz (1.5 Kg).
Always supervise the cooking process during the use of deep-fryers: Overheated 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.
Accessible parts of the hood can be hot when used at the same time as the cooking ap-
pliances.
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.
INSTALLATION

Before installing the hood, carefully read the section 'SAFETY IN-
STRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS'.
TECHNICAL FEATURES
The technical specifications are exhibited on the labels located inside the hood.
POSITIONING
The minimum distance between the highest part of the cooking equipment and the
lowest part of the hood is indicated in the installation instructions.
Should the instructions for the gas cooker specify a greater distance, this must be taken
into consideration.
