When installed, the distance between hood and gas burners or electric plates must be not
less than 65 cm providing the total hob output does not exceed 11kw.
For each kw in excess of 11kw the distance between extractor and gas hob must be
increased by 10cm.
ELECTRIC CONNECTION
Before completing any connection make sure the house voltage corresponds with the
voltage indicated on the label affixed inside the hood.
It is advisable to call a qualified technician to make the electrical connection.
Fit an approved plug or an approved bipolar switch with a minimum contact opening of not
less than 3mm.
The manufacturer is not liable for any problems caused by the user's failure to
observe the above instructions.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The hood is provided with a motor with several speeds. For the best performance, we
recommend using the low speeds in normal conditions and the high speeds in particular
cases of strong odor and vapor concentration.
We recommend starting up the hood a few minutes before cooking and keeping it running
until all the odors have been eliminated.
WARNING!
•
The hood cannot be connected to flues of other appliances that run on energy sources
other than electricity.
•
When the hood is used at the same time as other appliances that run on energy sources
other than electricity, provision must be made for an adequate air supply.
•
No food must be cooked flambé underneath the hood. The use of an unprotected flame is
dangerous for the filters and could cause fires.
•
Therefore, never use an open flame under the hood. When frying foods, never leave the
pan alone because the cooking oil could flare up.
•
Please, keep to the provisions of official directives regarding the question of fume
discharge.
•
The manufacturer refuses to accept any responsibility for damage to the hood or its
catching on fire because of failure to observe the above instructions.
