cannot vented outdoors either because ducting is not
available or cannot be installed.

a duct that passes through the cabinet itself.The
diameter of the duct must be the same as that of flange
H (Fig. 5).

for gas or mixed-fuel burners.
Caution
This appliance is designed to be operated by adults.
Children should not be allowed to tamper with the controls
or play with the appliance.
Do not use the cooker hood where the grill is not correctly
fixed! The suctioned air must not be conveyed in the same
channel used for fumes discharged by appliances powered
by other than electricity. The environment must always
be adequately aerated when the cooker hood and other
appliances powered by other than electricity are used at
the same time. Flambé cooking with a cooker hood is
prohibited. The use of a free flame is damaging to the filters
and may cause fire accidents, therefore free flame cooking
must be avoided. Frying of foods must be kept under close
control in order to avoid overheated oil catching fire. Carry
out fumes discharging in accordance with the regulations
in force by local laws for safety and technical restrictions.
The manufacturers refuse to accept any responsibility for
damage to the hood or its catching on fire because of failure
to observe the above instructions.
Electrical connection
The electrical tension must correspond to the tension noted
on the label placed inside the cooker hood. Connect the
