— The hood cannot be connected to flues of
other appliances that run on energy sources
other than electricity.
— When the hood is used at the same time of
other appliances that run on energy sources
other than electricity, provision must be
made for an adequate supply of air.

The use of an unprotected flame is
dangerous for the filters and could cause
fires.
Therefore, never use an open flame under
the hood. When frying foods, never leave
the pan alone because the cooking oil could
flare up.

Using the hood
— The hood is provided with several speeds.
For the best performance, we recommend
using the low speeds in normal conditions
and the high speeds in particular cases of
strong odour and vapour concentration.
— We recommend starting up the hood a few
minutes before cooking and keeping it
running until all the odours have been
eliminated.

isolate the hood from the electrical supply by
switching off at the connector and removing the
connector fuse.
