Warning and Safety instructions

Using at the same time as other heating appliances that depend on the air from the room

Danger of poisoning by toxic fumes.

￿Great care should be taken when using the cooker hood at the same time and in the same room or area of the house as another heating appliance which depends on air in the room.

Such appliances include gas, oil, wood or coal-fired boilers and heaters, continuous flow or other water heaters, gas hobs, cookers or ovens which draw air in from the room and duct exhaust gases out through a chimney or extraction ducting.

Cooker hoods draw air in from the room in which they are installed and from neighbouring rooms. This applies to extraction mode cooker hoods and to recirculation mode cooker hoods with a recirculation box located outside the room. If there is insufficient air, an underpressure will occur. The heating appliance may be starved of oxygen, impairing combustion. Harmful gases could be drawn out of the chimney or extraction ducting back into the room, with potentially fatal consequences.
