Please dispose of the packing material
carefully – children are especially vulnerable
to it.
If the room where the extractor is to be used
contains a fuel burning appliance such as a
central heating boiler then its flue must be of
the sealed or balanced flue type.
If other types of flue or appliances are fitted,
ensure that there is an adequate supply of air
in the room.
When the extractor is being used in its extractor
function, ensure that the ducting is fire retardant
and that there are no bends sharper than 90
degrees as this will reduce the efficiency of the
hood.
Ensure the ducting for the extractor function has
the same diameter as the outlet hole all the way
through.
Keep young children from using, playing with or
tampering with the cooker hood. Older children
and infirm persons should be supervised if they
are using the cooker hood.
Dirty oil is an even greater fire risk.
Always put lids on pots and pans when cooking
on a gas cooker.
The manufacturer refuses to accept any
responsibility for damages arising to the
extractor or it catching on fire, from a failure
to observe the fire safety advice contained
in this instruction booklet.
Remember that when in extraction mode,
your extractor is removing air from your room.
Ensure that proper ventilation measures are
being observed.
Note: Your extractor is designed to remove
cooking odours from the room and not steam.
Warning - Always ensure that the extractor
has been disconnected from the power supply
before carrying out any work, including replacing
light bulbs.
The lights on this appliance should only be used
during operation of the extractor. They should
not be left on permanently and used as a lighting
source.
The extractor should be exposed to a direct
heat source from the cooking device
under-neath it, i.e a naked flame from a gas
burneror heat from electric hob zones without
a pan on them.
Do not attempt to use the extractor if it is
damaged in any way. Never attempt to use it
without the grease filters fitted or if the filters
are excessively greasy!
Never flambé cook under this extractor.
Do not set your cooker hood less
650mm above your hob.
•
When installed between adjoining wall
cabinets, the cabinets must not overhang the
hob.
•
The edges of the cooker hood may be sharp
– be mindful of this as you handle your
appliance, especially during installation and
cleaning.
•
If the room where the cooker hood is to be
used contains a fuel burning appliance such
as a central heating boiler then its
must
be of the sealed or balanced
type.
•
If other types of
or appliances are
ensure that there is an adequate supply of air
in the room.
