without the need for any of the aforementioned
measures.
When the hood is used in its extraction mode, the
following rules must be followed to obtain optimal
operation:
short and straight outlet hose
keep bends in outlet hose to a minimum
never install the hoses with an acute angle,
they must always follow a gentle curve.
keep the hose as large as possible (preferably
the same diameter as the outlet hole).
the length should be no more than:
3 metres with one 90° bend
2 metres with two 90° bends
Bends of more than 90° will reduce the
efficiency of the hood and reduce the airflow.
Failure to observe these basic instructions will
drastically reduce the performance and increase
the noise levels of the extractor hood.
For the user
The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant
odours from the kitchen, it will not extract steam.
Always cover lighted elements, to prevent excess
heat from damaging the appliance. In the case
of oil, gas and coal fired cookers it is essential to
avoid open flames.
Also, when frying, keep the deep frying pan on
the cooker top/cooker under careful control.
The hot oil in the frying pan might ignite due to
overheating.
The risk of self-ignition increases when the oil
being used is dirty.
It is extremely important to note that overheating
can cause a fire.
Never carry out any flambé cooking under
the hood.
Always disconnect the unit from the power
supply before carrying out any work on the
hood, including replacing the light bulb
(take
the cartridge fuse out of the fuse holder or switch
off the automatic circuit breaker).
It is very important to clean the hood and
replace the filter at the recommended
intervals. Failure to do so could cause grease
deposits to build up, resulting in a fire hazard.
