SAFETY WARNINGS

■The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking equipment on the hob and the lowest part of the range hood must be not less than 55cm from electric cookers and 65cm from gas or mixed cookers.
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.
When the hood is in use, especially together with gas cookers, make sure that environment is ventilated with clean air.
Pay attention not to connect the appliance to the flues used by non-electrical devices. (E.g.: Heater flue).

Simultaneous and smooth operation of the hood and another device that require air is only possible when a low pressure of 4 Pa (0.04 mbar) is reached, and thus the reabsorption of the gas is avoided. This can only be achieved by means of air coming from uncovered openings (door, window, ventilation openings or other technical measures). Pay utmost attention to provide sufficient air flow. A flue that provides air ingress/egress is not enough for this purpose.
