• The appliance is designed for household use only.
• The manufacturer reserves the right to introduce changes, which do not affect operation of the appliance.
• The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage or fire caused by the appliance resulting from failure to follow instructions in this manual.
• Cooker hood is designed to remove cooking odours. Do not use cooker hood for other purposes.
• Connect the cooker hood operating in extraction mode to a suitable ventilation duct (do NOT connect the cooker to smoke or flue gas ducts, which are in use). It requires installation of the air extraction duct to the outside. The length of the duct (usually a pipe of ∅ 120 or 150 mm) should not be longer than 4-5 m. An air extraction duct is also required for telescopic and furniture hoods in absorption mode.
• Cooker hood operating in air recirculation mode requires the installation of an activated charcoal filter. In this case, installing an extractor duct is not required, however it is recommended to install an air guide vane (Mainly in chimney cooker hoods).
• The cooker hood features independent lighting and exhaust fan that can be operated at one of several speeds.
• Depending on the type, the hood is designed to be permanently attached to a vertical wall over a gas or electric stove (chimney and universal hoods); on the ceiling over a gas or electric stove (island hoods); on the vertical built in furniture over a gas or electric stove (telescopic and built-in hoods). Before installing, make sure that the

wall/ceiling structure is strong enough to suspend the hood. Some hoods are very heavy.

- For details of the installation distance above an electric hob please refer to product technical sheet. If the installation instructions of the gas cooker specify a greater distance, this must be taken into account (Fig. 1).

- Do not leave an open flame under the hood. When the pots are removed from the burner, set the minimum flame. Always make sure that the flame does not extend outside the pot, because it causes unwanted loss of energy and a dangerous concentration of heat.

- When cooking on fat, supervise the pans constantly, because overheated fat can ignite.

- Unplug the appliance before any cleaning, replacing the filter or repair work.

- Cooker hood grease filter should be cleaned at least once a month, because the filter saturated with fat is flammable.
