• Never operate the extractor hood without
a grease filter.
• Never leave cooking fat or oil unat-
tended. Overheated fat or oil can easily
catch fire.
• Do not flambé food directly under the ex-
tractor hood. The flames pose the risk of
the grease filter catching fire.( see page 8
Maintenance and cleaning)
• Restrictions apply to the use of the ex-
tractor hood over a solid fuel or gas
stove. (See Preparing for installation on
page 3).
• Switch off the power at the mains in the
event of a fault or when cleaning the ex-
tractor hood
• Do not touch any part of the light fittings
while they are in use as they get very hot
and could cause severe burns.
Electrical connection.
Safety advice.
• The extractor hood uses a 220-
250V/50Hz power supply.
• If the mains power cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by a qualified electri-
cian.
• The power cord is located in the chimney
area. Should you require an installation
with no visible wiring, a 15 amp earthed
plug socket should be accessible either in
the ceiling above the extractor hood or on
the wall behind the chimney area.
(A qualified electrician should provide
this facility).
• The extractor hood must be earthed.
The manufacturer and the seller do
not accept responsibility for any dam-
age due to incorrect electrical connec-
tion.
• This extractor hood may not be used
with a battery inverter power supply.
Before use.
• This extractor hood complies with all
relevant safety regulations.
• The extractor hood is not intended for use
by young children or infirm persons with-
out supervision.
Before using your new extractor hood for
the first time, please read this manual care-
fully. It contains important information con-
cerning your personal safety as well as on
the use and care of the extractor hood.
• Remove all packaging (except the protec-
tive film on the two chimney sections)
and dispose of it in an environmentally
friendly manner.
• If the extractor hood is damaged in any
way, do not use it. Report the damage to
your dealer, who will take the necessary
corrective action. (Refer to Owner’s re-
sponsibility on page 9 of this manual).
Description.
• The extractor hood fan extracts the
kitchen vapours and passes them through
the grease filter.
• The grease filter absorbs the solid parti-
cles in the cooking vapours, keeping the
kitchen almost free of grease.
