PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS
IMPORTANT!
• The appliance is not intended for use by young children or
persons with restricted physical, sensory or mental
abilities or without experience and knowledge of the
appliance, unless they are under the supervision or
instruction of a person responsible for their safety.
• Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
1. Do not connect the appliance to the mains power supply until
installation has been completed. Always disconnect the hood
before cleaning or carrying out maintenance by unplugging it or
switching off the power supply.
2. Do not “flambé” food under the hood. Naked flames could
cause a fire.
3. Do not leave pans unattended when frying. Cooking oil can catch
fire.
4. Regular cleaning and maintenance is essential to correct
functioning and good performance. Regularly remove dirt
deposits. Regularly clean or replace filters. Never use flammable
materials as hoses for extracted air.
5. If the hood is used together with other appliances powered by
gas or other fuels, ambient negative pressure must not exceed
4 Pa (4 x 10
-5
bar). For this reason, make sure the room is
adequately ventilated.
6. Exhaust air must not be conveyed through the same flue used by
the heating system or other appliances powered by gas or other
fuels.
7. The room must be adequately ventilated when the hood is used
together with appliances powered by gas or other fuels.
8. Make sure lamps are cold before touching them.
9. Exhaust air must not be conveyed through a flue used for
removal of fumes produced by gas combustion appliances or
other combustible materials, but must have an independent
outlet.
All national regulations governing extraction of fumes must be
observed.
10. The hood is not a shelf, therefore do not overload or place
objects on it.
11. Do not use or leave the hood without its lamps correctly
installed - risk of electric shock.
Note: Always wear work gloves for all installation and maintenance
operations.
Electrical connections
The mains power supply must match the voltage given on the
dataplate located inside the hood. If provided with a plug, connect
the hood to a power socket complying with current regulations and
located in an accessible area. If it does not have a plug (direct
connection to the power supply) or if the socket is not in an
accessible place, fit a suitable double-pole switch that ensures
complete disconnection from the power supply in category III
overvoltage conditions, complying with the installation rules.
IMPORTANT: Before reconnecting the hood circuit to the
mains power supply and checking correct operation, make
sure the power cable is correctly fitted and that it was NOT
crushed in the housing during installation.
Cleaning the hood
Warning!
Failure to remove oil/grease (at least once a month) could
result in fire.
Use a soft cloth with a neutral detergent. Never use abrasive
substances or alcohol.
Before using the hood
To ensure best use of your hood, please read these instructions
carefully and keep them for future reference.
Packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene, etc.) can be dangerous
for children and should be kept well out of their reach.
Make sure the hood was not damaged during transport.
