INTRODUCTION

These instructions are designed to tell you of the various technical details of your cooker hood and to make you familiar with its use. Since these instructions cover more than one type of hood within the same series, it may be that reference is made to components that do not form part of the hood that you are installing. The hood should be used in the exhaust version to discharge all the kitchen vapours and odours out-door of the building. Fittings can vary from country to country. We reserve the right to modify the product without any notice always with the aim of improvements and in compliance with the relevant norms.

SUGGESTIONS FOR USING THE HOOD IN EXHAUST POSITION

When an exhaust hood and a heat source requiring ambient air (e.g. gas, oil, coal stoves, etc.) are used at the same time, attention is required because the air necessary for combustion is exhausted from the room through the hood and this creates depression. There is no such danger when the maximum depression in the room is 0,04 mbar. In this condition no exhaust gas from the heat source is piped. To assure this condition, make opening in the room which cannot be closed (doors, windows, etc. are insufficient) and through which the air necessary for combustion can freely flow.

Note : All the exhaust ductwork in the apartment or house should be studied. In case of doubts, get advice or authorization from the person or agency responsible for the building.

Note : The efficiency of the exhaust hood decreases as the length of the ducts and number of increase. When using the exhaust version, follow these rules : Do not connect the exhaust hood to chimneys, flues, and air ducts serving the room. Before venting into exhaust flues and ducts no longer in use, ask for approval of person or agency responsible for the building. The evacuated air must not be let into a warm airduct. For the evacuation of the exhausted air please note official instructions.

INSTALLATION

Warning :

The discharge air is to be directed to building exterior.

The hood must be mounted over the centre of cooking area. The minimum distances between the cooking area and the underside of the hood are 650 mm (25"19/32).

Warning : If the room contains a flued fuel burning appliance which is not of the balance flue type make sure these is an adequate air inlet to the room at all times so that fumes are not drawn the flue.

Note : The distances, however, are subject to the safety rules in effect in the various countries. Before drilling the wall make sure that no pipes or cables will be damaged. If there is no outer waste pipe for the exhaust version, an air outlet with a diameter of ∅ 160 mm (6"19/64) must be made through the wall.

WALL FIXING OF THE COOKER HOOD - INSTALLATION BY MEANS OF THE BRACKET SUPPLIED

1) Check the size of the model you have purchased (see picture 1).
2) When installing your product comply with the distance from the cooking surface (see picture 2).

WARNING GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING: Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance."

USING THE COOKER HOOD

The cooker hood should be switched on either before or the same as cooking of frying commences. The filters are more effective if the fan is not switched off immediately after cooking or frying is completed, but only after a period of some 20-30 minutes. Before using the cooker hood please ensure that all plastic films like on metal grease filter and stainless steel ducting are removed.
