Safety Instructions

• Disconnect the device before performing any work on the interior, e.g. during cleaning or maintenance.
• The excessive accumulation of grease in the hood and metal filters may cause dripping and fire risks, therefore it is necessary to wash the inside of the hood and the metal filters at least once a month.
• This device can be used by children aged 8 and over and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, if they have been given supervision or proper training in the safe use of the device and if they understand the dangers involved. Children should not play with the device. Cleaning and maintenance should be performed by the user and not by unsupervised children.
• The regulations for electrical installations must be complied with.

- Check that the power voltage and frequency match those indicated on the label located on the inside of the hood. A suitable earth must be connected (except for Class II devices, marked with ☐ on the technical data plate).

- For installation, a connection method isolated from the fixed installation should be incorporated, in accordance with installation regulations (adjusted to the strength to be endured and with a minimum opening between the contacts of 3mm) under overvoltage category III conditions, for the emergency shutdown, cleaning or light replacement. In no event should the earth pass through this switch. This switch can be replaced with a plug if it is accessible in normal use.

• If the power lead is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales service or by qualified personnel in order to avoid potential danger.

• Ventilation regulations must be complied with.
  • Air should not be extracted by ducts used to expel fumes from equipment powered by gas or other fuels.

• The room must be adequately ventilated when the hood will be used simultaneously with equipment powered by energy other than electricity e.g. gas cookers.

• Do not produce flames under the hood.
• The bottom of the hood must be fitted at least 65cm above gas or combination hobs. Observe the minimum limits set by worktop manufacturer's. This distance may be reduced if mentioned in the hood installation instructions.
• Accessible parts can be heated when used with cooking appliances.
• Never leave gas burning without a pan above it. The grease accumulated in the filters may drip or catch fire when the temperature is increased.
• Avoid cooking under the hood if the metal filters are not fitted e.g. while they are being cleaned in the dishwasher.
  • We recommend you wear gloves and use extra caution when cleaning the inside of the hood.
• Your hood is designed for domestic use and only for the extraction and purification of gases from food preparation. Use for other purposes is at your own risk and may be dangerous. The manufacturer is not

responsible for damage caused by improper use of the device.

• For repairs please contact the manufacturer's nearest Technical Assistance Department which will always use genuine parts. Repairs or modifications by unauthorized personnel may result in damage to equipment or malfunction, endangering safety.

Instructions for use

You can activate or deactivate the cooker hood by operating the functions shown in the diagram.

Switch on the extractor fan a few minutes before you start to cook in order to ensure that a steady air flow has been established before fumes appear.

Allow the extractor fan to run for several minutes after you have finished cooking (between 3 to 5 minutes) in order to expel all the grease from the outlet duct. This prevents the return of grease, smoke and smells.
