GENERAL
Carefully read the information given in this manual: this will
assure proper installation and use, so that Your appliance
can be perfect and efficient over the years. The drawings,
installation diagrams and tables in this manual are provided
just as a guide and are intended for information purposes
only. Electric connections shall be carried out in compliance
with the national standards in force. This appliance com-
plies with the requirements specified in the EC Directive no.
87/308/EEC dated 2.6.87 (adopted with M.D. dated 13.4.89)
related to radio- frequency interference, no. 89/336 related
to electromagnetic compatibility and no. 73/23 related to
low voltage.
SAFETY
A) The electrical system features an earth connection in
compliance with international safety standards; further-
more, it is compliant with the European standard for electro-
magnetic compatibility.
B) Make sure the mains voltage corresponds to the values
on the rating plate located inside the range hood.
C) Never cook on “open” flames under the range hood.
D) Check deep-fryers during use: superheated oil may be
flammable.
E) Ensure there is adequate ventilation of the room when
the rangehood is used at the same time as appliances burn-
ing gas or other fuels.
F) Do not flambe under the rangehood.
G) The exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which
is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or
other fuels.
H) Ensure that all regulations concerning the discharge of
exhaust air have been fulfilled before you use the appliance.
I) For the various installations use screws and screw an-
chors suited to the type of wall (e.g. reinforced concrete,
plasterboard, etc.). If the screws and screw anchors are
provided with the product, check that they are suitable
for the type of wall on which the hood is to be fixed.
J) This appliance is not intended for use by persons (in-
cluding children) with reduced physical, sensory or men-
tal capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.
K) Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
L) WARNING! Accessible parts may become hot.
M) There is a risk of fi re if cleaning is not carried out in
accordance with the instructions
N) Take care when the cooker hood is operating simulta-
neously with an open fi replace or burner that depend on
the air in the environment and are supplied by other than
electrical energy, as the cooker hood removes the air from
the environment which a burner or fi replace need for com-
bustion. The negative pressure in the environment must not
exceed 4Pa (4x10-5 bar). Provide adequate ventilation in the
environment for a safe operation of the cooker hood. Follow
the local laws applicable for external air evacuation.
O) Installation and service operations on the appliance

DISPOSAL OF OLD ELECTRICAL
APPLIANCES
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Elec-
trical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires
that old household electrical appliances must not
be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal
waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in
order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials
they contain and reduce the impact on human health and
the environment. The crossed-out dustbin symbol on the
product reminds you of your obligation regarding separated
waste collection. Consumers should contact their local pub-
lic service or their local dealer for more information on the
correct disposal of exhausted household appliances.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The technical specifications of the appliance are shown on
the rating plates located inside the hood.
INSTALLATION
Electric connections and the rooms were the appliance is
mounted, shall be suitable and compliant with any Safety
Standards in force in the Country of use (protection and sep-
aration switch, earth connection, equipotential, etc.).
Always turn the main electric switch off and pull out the
connection plug when carrying out any installation,
maintenance and repair operations.
The appliance has not been designed for outdoor installa-
tion.
WARNING! Do not leave any packaging materials unat-
tended (plastic bags, styrofoam, etc...); they represent
a potential danger for children and animals (choking
hazard).
In the extraction mode, the minimum diameter of the
fumes out-let pipe shall not be smaller than diameter of the
cooker hood joint.
ELECTRIC CONNECTION
• Assembly and electrical connections must be carried
out by specialised personnel.
