Part 1 - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1 - GENERAL INFORMATION
This canopy hood is designed to be fitted into cabinets or chimney cooker hoods,
placed above a hotplate. It can be used either in the extraction mode (ducted to the
outside) or in the recirculation mode (internal recycling).
Before starting the
installation, consideration should be given to the difficulties to be found during
installation. The installation work must be undertaken by a qualified and
competent person in conformity to the rules concerning the evacuation of
contaminated air. The manufacturer disclaims all liability for any damage or
injury caused as a result of not following the instructions for installation
contained in the following text.
2 - SAFETY WARNINGS
2.1 - When used in the extraction mode, the cooker hood ducting must not be connected to
a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances supplied with energy other
than electric, such as a central heating flue or water heating flue.
2.2 - Before connecting to the mains supply ensure that the mains voltage corresponds with
the voltage on the rating plate inside the hood.
2.3 - Connect the cooker hood to the mains via a bipolar switch which has 3mm clearance
between the contacts.
2.4 - The device does not require earthing, as it is double-insulated.
2.5 - When installed, the hood must be positioned at least 65 cm above the hotplate.
2.6 - Never do flambé cooking under this cooker hood.
2.7 - Never leave frying pans unattended during use as overheated fat and oil may catch fire.
2.8 - Before carrying out any kind of maintenance or cleaning, disconnect the hood from the
mains supply.
2.9 - If the room where the cooker hood is to be used contains a fuel burning appliance such
as a central heating boiler then this must be of the room sealed or balanced flue type.
If other types of flue or appliance are fitted, ensure that there is an adequate supply of
air into the room. When the cooker hood is used in conjunction with appliances supplied
with energy other than electric, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0,04
mbar to prevent fumes being drawn back into the room by the cooker hood.
