Safety warnings

for user

•Always cover lighted elements, to prevent excess heat from damaging the appliance. In the case of oil, gas and coal fired cookers it is essential to avoid open flames.

•Also, when frying, keep the deep frying pan on the cooker top/ cooker under careful control.

•The hot oil in the frying pan might ignite due to overheating.

•The risk of self-ignition increases when the oil being used is dirty.

•It is extremely important to note that overheating can cause a fire.

•Never carry out any flambé cooking under the hood.

•Always disconnect the unit from the power supply before carrying out any work on the hood, including replacing the light bulb (take the cartridge fuse out of the fuse holder or switch off the automatic circuit breaker).

•It is very important to clean the hood and replace the filter at the recommended intervals. Failure to do so could cause grease deposits to build up, causing a fire hazard.

•When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a 150mm diameter hose.

•Should there already be a pipe of diameter 125 mm that ducts to the outside through the walls or roof, it is possible to use the 150/ 125 mm reduction flange provided. In this case the hood will be slightly more noisy.

•When installing the hood, make sure you respect the following minimum distance from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring surfaces:

electric cookers	500 mm
gas cookers	650 mm
coal and oil cookers	700 mm min.

•The national decree on fuel-burning systems specifies a maximum depression of 0.04 bar in such rooms.

•The air outlet must not be connected to chimney flues or combus- tion gas ducts. The air outlet must under no circumstances be connected to ventilation ducts for rooms in which fuel-burning appliances are installed.
