Recommendations
and suggestions
• The Instructions for Use apply to
several versions of this appliance.
Accordingly, you may find descrip
-
tions of individual features that do
not apply to your specific appliance.
• The manufacturer will not be held li-
able 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 para-
graphs on working dimensions and
installation).
• Check that the mains voltage cor-
responds to that indicated on the
rating plate fixed to the inside of
the hood.
• For Class I appliances, check that
the domestic power supply guaran-
tees 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 conjunc-
tion 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. Regula-
tions concerning the discharge of
air have to be fulfilled.
• Use only screws and small parts
in support of the hood.
Warning:
Failure to install the
screws or fixing device in accord
-
ance with these instructions may
result in electrical hazards.
• Connect the hood to the mains
through a two-pole switch having
a contact gap of at least 3 mm.
Use
• The extractor hood has been de-
signed 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 un
-
der 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
