For cooker hoods featuring an earth cable, make sure the electric plant of your house is correctly earthed.
Appliance in class II are provided with a double insulation; therefore do not connect then through earthed
plugs but through simple bipolar plugs. For safety, when installed the hood must be positioned at least 65
cm above a cooking appliance. Never leave frying pans unattended during use as overheated fats and oils
may catch fire. Never do flame cooking under a hood.
The cookerhood ducting must never be connected to central heating flues, radiators or water heaters, etc.
Before connection to the mains supply ensure that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating
plate inside the hood. Before carrying out any kind of maintenance or cleaning, disconnect the hood from
the mains supply.
