Important Safety Information
•
Do not leave frying pans
unattended during use because
overheated fats or oils might catch
fire.
• Never leave naked flames under
the cooker hood.
• There is a fire risk if cleaning is
not carried out in accordance with
the instructions.
• Do not flambé under the cooker
hood.
• Do not use the cooker hood
without the grease filters or if the
filters are excessively greasy!
• The minimum distance between
the pan supports on the hob and
the lowest part of the cooker hood.
(When the cooker hood is located
above a gas appliance) shall be a
minimum of 650mm.
(Coal or oil 750mm)
• W
hen in extraction mode, air in
the room is being removed by the
cooker hood. Please make sure
that proper ventilation measures
are being observed. The cooker
hood removes odours from room
but not steam.
• The air must not be discharged
into a flue that is used for
exhausting fumes from appliances
burning gas or other fuels.
• Make sure the ducting has no
bends sharper than 90 degrees as
this will reduce the efficiency of the
cooker hood (max duct length 3m,
150mm Ø).
• Always put lids on pots and pans
when cooking.
• Large quantities of vapour and
steam can be produced very quickly.
This steam may condense onto the
cold metallic surfaces of the
extractor (This is not a fault with
either the hob or extractor if
correctly installed.) The amount of
this condensation on any particular
surface will depend on many factors
including the general ventilation
within the kitchen, the type of food
being cooked and the duration.
• There shall be adequate
ventilation of the room when the
cooker hood is used at the same
time as appliances burning gas or
other fuels.
