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.
• Older children must be supervised if using the appliance.
• 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.

This appliance is marked according to the European directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

The symbol on the product, or on the documents accompanying the product, indicates that this appliance may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. Disposal must be carried out in accordance with local environmental regulations for waste disposal.

For more detailed information about treatment, recovery and recycling of this product, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.

For the installer

- When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a 125mm diameter hose.

- DU 3150/3160/4561/4361/4161: Should there already be a pipe of diameter 100 that ducts to the outside through the walls, it is possible to use the 125-100 mm reduction flange provided. In this case the hood will be slightly noisier.

- When installing the hood, make sure you observe the following minimum distance from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring surfaces:

electric cookers 500 mm gas cookers 700 mm

If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to.

- The national Standard on fuel-burning systems specifies a maximum depression of 0.04 mbar in such rooms.

- The air outlet must not be connected to chimney flues or combustion gas ducts. The air outlet must under no circumstances be connected to ventilation ducts for rooms in which fuel-burning appliances are installed.

- The air outlet installation must comply with the regulations laid down by the relevant local authorities.

- When the unit is used in extraction mode, a sufficiently large ventilation hole must be provided, with dimensions that are approximately the same as the outlet hole.

- National and regional building regulations impose a number of restrictions on using hoods and fuel-burning appliances connected to a chimney, such as coal or oil room-heaters and gas fires, in the same room.

- Hoods can only be used safely with appliances connected to a chimney if the room and/or flat (air/environment combination) is ventilated from outside using a suitable ventilation hole approximately 500 - 600 ~cm^2 large to avoid the possibility of a depression being created during operation of the hood.

- If you have any doubts, contact the relevant controlling authority or building inspector's office.

- Since the rule for rooms with fuel burning appliances is “outlet hole of the same size as the ventilation hole”, a hole of 500-600 cm ^2 which is to say a larger hole, could reduce the performance of the extractor hood.

- If the hood is used in its recirculation mode, it will operate simply and safely in the above conditions without the need for any of the

aforementioned measures.

- When the hood is used in its extraction mode, the following rules must be followed to obtain optimal operation:

• short and straight outlet hose
• keep bends in outlet hose to a minimum
• never install the hoses with an acute angle, they must always follow a gentle curve.

- keep the hose as large as possible (preferably the same diameter as the outlet hole).

- the length should be no more than:

3 metres with one 90° bend

2 metres with two 90° bends

Bends of more than 90^ will reduce the efficiency of the hood and reduce the airflow.

- Failure to observe these basic instructions will drastically reduce the performance and increase the noise levels of the extractor hood.

Description of the Appliance

• The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours from the kitchen, it will not extract steam.
- The hood is supplied as an extractor unit and can also be used with a recirculation mode by fitting a charcoal filter.
- In some models the charcoal filter is supplied. The hood, therefore, can be used immediately in the recirculation mode. We advise removing the charcoal filter to use the hood in the extraction mode.

Extraction mode

• In this mode fumes are extracted to the outside via a hose connected to the coupling ring C. Fig. 1.
• In order to obtain the best performance the hose should have a diameter equal to the outlet hole.
  Should there already be a pipe of diameter 100 that ducts to the outside through the walls, it is possible to use the 125-100 mm reduction flange provided.
  In this case the hood will be slightly noisier.

Recirculation mode

• The air is filtered through a charcoal filter and returned to the kitchen.
• Move the lever to position F - Fig. 2.
• You will need an original charcoal filter for the recirculation mode. (See Special Accessories).
