Before use

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

•Remove all packaging (except the protective 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 responsibility on page 11 of this manual).

Safety advice

•This extractor hood complies with all relevant safety regulations.

•Never operate the extractor hood without a grease filter.

•Never leave cooking fat or oil unattended. Overheated fat or oil can easily catch fire.

•Do not flambé food directly under the extractor hood. The flames pose the risk of the grease filter catching fire. (see page 10 Maintenance and cleaning).

•Restrictions apply to the use of the extractor hood over a solid fuel or gas stove. (See Preparing for installation on page 5).

•Switch off the power at the mains in the event of a fault or when cleaning the

extractor hood.

•Do not touch any part of the light fittings or adjacent areas during or straight after prolonged use as they get very hot and could cause severe burns.

•In certain circumstances electrical appliances may be a hazard.

•Do not check the status of the filters while the extractor hood is operating.

•Avoid leaving exposed flames unattended and always ensure that the burners are covered as open flames are damaging for the filters and a fire hazard.

•Constantly check food frying to avoid overheated oil becoming a fire hazard.

•There must be adequate ventilation of the room when the extractor hood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels.

•There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions.

Electrical connection

•The extractor hood uses a 220- 230V~ /50Hz power supply.

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

•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 either in the ceiling above the extractor hood or on the wall behind the chimney area. (A qualified electrician should provide this facility).

•The extractor hood must be earthed. The manufacturer and the seller do not accept responsibility for any damage due to incorrect electrical connection.
