which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances supplied with energy other than electric,
such as a central heating flue or water heating flue.
1.2 - Before connecting to the mains supply ensure that the mains voltage corresponds with the volt-
age on the rating plate inside the hood.
1.3 - Connect the cooker hood to the mains via a bipolar switch which has 3mm clearance between
the contacts.
1.4 - For cooker hoods featuring an earth cable, make sure the electric plant of your house is cor-
rectly earthed.
1.5 - Appliance in class II are provided with a double insulation; therefore do not connect then

tral heating boiler then this must be of the room sealed or balanced flue type. If other types of
flue or appliance are fitted, ensure that there is an adequate supply of air into the room. 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.
