• Turn on the hobs after placing pans or pots on them. Otherwise, rising heat may deform certain parts of your product.
• Turn off the hobs before taking away pans or pots.
• Avoid inflammable materials under the hood.
• Oil may ignite while frying foods. Therefore, be careful about cloths and curtains.
• Never leave the cooker unattended when frying foods; otherwise hot oil may cause fire.
• There is the risk of fire if your hood is not cleaned in the specified periods.
• Be extremely careful and wear gloves when cleaning the hood.
• We advise you to operate the appliance a few minutes before starting to cook in order to increase the suction power. Thus, you shall have a continuous and stable suction power when the vapors arise.
• Operate your hood for 15 minutes more after the end of cooking or frying in order to remove the smell and cooking vapor in the kitchen.
