I GENERAL

Exhausting cooker hood. The equipment is constructed under European Standards and with the requirements included

in the following Directives: 2006/95EC (Low Voltage Directive), 2004/108 (Electromagnetic Compatibility).
The present instruction manual is an integral part of the appliance itself, therefore it must be carefully kept and

ALWAYS accompany it, even in case of its assignment to another owner or user or in case the cooker hood is moved to
another installation plant.

The Manufacturer strives for continuous improvements. For this reason, the text and illustrations in this guide may change without notice.

II WARNINGS

Make sure that the voltage (V) and frequency (Hz) indicated on the data plate inside the unit match those available at
the installation site. Any eventual adjustment to the electrical system, which may be necessary to install the cooker
hood, must be carried out only by competent people.
Any repair carried out by no competent people may cause damages.
For any repair or needed technical support refer to a Technical Assistance Centre, authorized to carry out the

replacement of the spare parts. Always make sure that all the electrical parts (lights, exhaustion unit) are disconnected
when the appliance is not in use. By storms take off the main switch of the house electrical system.
The use of the cooker hood must not be other than the use of exhausting units for cooking damps on domestic kitchens.
The manufacturer does not accept any liability for damages caused by people, animals, or things, by installation and
maintenance mistakes, or by any illegitimate use.

experience or knowledge, unless they are supervised or unless a person responsible for their security, gives them
instructions regarding the use of the equipment. Children must be supervised to be sure that they do not play with the
equipment.
•Any cleaning action is forbidden if the appliance hasn’t been disconnected from the main power supply and if the main

switch of the house electrical system is not off. If cleaning is not carried out according to these instructions, a fire may
break out.
•Do not pull, take off, or twist the cable coming out from the appliance, even though this has been disconnected from
the main power supply.
•Do not sprinkle or throw any water directly on the appliance.
