Recommendations and suggestions
• The Instructions for Use apply to several versions of
this appliance. Accordingly, you may find descriptions
of individual features that do not apply to your specific
appliance.
• The manufacturer will not be held liable for any
damages resulting from incorrect or improper
installation.
• The minimum safety distance between the cooker
top and the extractor hood is 650 mm (some models
can be installed at a lower height, please refer to the
paragraphs on working dimensions and installation).
• Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that
indicated on the rating plate fixed to the inside of
the hood.
• For Class I appliances, check that the domestic power
supply guarantees adequate earthing.
• Connect the extractor to the exhaust flue through a
pipe of minimum diameter 120 mm. The route of the
flue must be as short as possible.
• Do not connect the extractor hood to exhaust ducts
carrying combustion fumes (boilers, fireplaces, etc.).
• If the extractor is used in conjunction with non-electrical
appliances (e.g. gas burning appliances), a sufficient
degree of aeration must be guaranteed in the room
in order to prevent the backflow of exhaust gas. The
kitchen must have an opening communicating directly
with the open air in order to guarantee the entry of clean
air. 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.
• In the event of damage to the power cable, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer or by the technical
service department, in order to prevent any risks.
• Connect the hood to the mains through a two-pole
switch having a contact gap of at least 3 mm.
• If the instructions for installation for the gas hob
specify a greater distance specified above, this has
to be taken into account. Regulations concerning the
discharge of air have to be fulfilled.
Use
• The extractor hood has been designed exclusively
for domestic use to eliminate kitchen smells.
• Never use the hood for purposes other than for which
it has been designed.
• Never leave high naked flames under the hood when
it is in operation.
• Adjust the flame intensity to direct it onto the bottom
of the pan only, making sure that it does not engulf
the sides.
• Deep fat fryers must be continuously monitored during
use: overheated oil can burst into flames.
• Do not flambè under the range hood; risk of fire.
