•The extractor hood fan extracts the kitchen vapours and passes them through the grease filters.

•The grease filter absorbs the solid parti- cles in the cooking vapours, keeping the

kitchen almost free of grease.

•Never operate the extractor hood without a grease filter.

•Never leave cooking fat or oil unat- tended. Overheated fat or oil can easily catch fire.

•Do not flambé food directly under the ex- tractor hood. The flames pose the risk of the grease filter catching fire. (see page 7 under maintenance and cleaning)

•Restrictions apply to the use of the ex- tractor hood over a solid fuel or gas stove. (See Preparing for installation on page 3).

•Switch off the power at the mains in the event of a fault or when cleaning the ex- tractor hood

•Do not touch any part of the light fittings while they are in use as they get very hot and could cause severe burns.

Before use.

Before using your new extractor hood for the first time, please read this manual care- fully. It contains important information con- cerning your personal safety as well as on the use and care of the extractor hood.

•Remove all packaging (except the protec- tive film on the two chimney sections) and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner.

•If the extractor hood is damaged in any way, do not use it. Report the damage to your dealer, who will take the necessary corrective action. (Refer to Owner’s re- sponsibility on page 8 of this manual).

Safety advice.

•This extractor hood complies with all relevant safety regulations.

•The extractor hood is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons with- out supervision.

Electrical connection.

•The extractor hood uses a 220- 250V/50Hz power supply.

•If the mains power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified electri- cian.

•The power cord is located in the chimney area. Should you require an installation with no visible wiring, a 15 amp earthed plug socket should be accessible in the ceiling above the extractor hood. (A qualified electrician should provide this facility).

•The extractor hood must be earthed. The manufacturer and the seller do not accept responsibility for any dam- age due to incorrect electrical connec- tion.

•This extractor hood may not be used with a battery inverter power supply.
