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.
I nstallation
•
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 120mm. The route of the
flue must be as short as possible.
•
Do not connect the extractor hood to exhaust ducts
carrying combustion flumes (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.
•
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 flame under the range hood; risk of fire.
