Safety warnings

For the User

• The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours from the kitchen, it will not

extract steam.

• Always cover lighted elements, to prevent excess heat from damaging the

appliance. In the case of oil, gas and coal fired cookers it is essential to avoid

open flames.

• Also, when frying, keep the deep frying pan on the cooker top/cooker under

careful control.

• The hot oil in the frying pan might ignite due to overheating.

• The risk of self-ignition increases when the oil being used is dirty.

• It is extremely important to note that overheating can cause a fire.

• Never carry out any flambé cooking under the hood.

• Always disconnect the unit from the power supply before carrying out any

work on the hood, including replacing the light bulb (take the cartridge fuse

out of the fuse holder or switch off the automatic circuit breaker).

• It is very important to clean the hood and replace the filter at the

recommended intervals. Failure to do so could cause grease deposits to

build up, resulting in a fire hazard.

• The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without

supervision.

• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the

appliance.

• WARNING - Ensure that the appliance is switched off before replacing the lamp to

avoid the possibility of electric shock.

For the Installer

• When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a 150mm diameter

hose.

• Should there already be a pipe with a diameter of 125mm that ducts to the outside

through the wall or roof, it is possible to use the 150/125 mm reduction flange

provided. In this case the hood will be slightly noisier.

• When installing the hood, make sure you respect the following minimum

distance from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring surfaces:

electric cookers

500 mm

gas cookers

650 mm

coal and oil cookers

700 mm min.

The hood can be installed above these heights but for optimum performance it should

be installed at the distance quoted for the appropriate heat source.
