Safety warnings

For the User

•The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours from the kitchen, it will not
extract steam.
•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, resulting in a fire hazard.

For the Installer

•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 noisier.
•When installing the hood, make sure you respect the following minimum
distance from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring surfaces:
electric cookers 600 mm
gas cookers 650 mm
coal and oil cookers 700 mm min.
•The national Standard on fuel-burning systems specifies a maximum depression of
0.04 mbar in such rooms.
•The air outlet must not be connected to chimney flues or combustion gas ducts. The
air outlet must under no circumstances be connected to ventilation ducts for rooms in
which fuel-burning appliances are installed.
•The air outlet installation must comply with the regulations laid down by the relevant
authorities.
•When the unit is used in its extractor version, a sufficiently large ventilation hole must
be provided, with dimensions that are approximately the same as the outlet hole.
•National and regional building regulations impose a number of restrictions on using
hoods and fuel-burning appliances connected to a chimney, such as coal or oil room-
