Warning and Safety instructions
The appliance is only completely isolated from the electricity supply
when:
–it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug removed. (Do not pull on the cable, only on the plug), or
–the fuse from the fused spur connec- tion unit is withdrawn or,
–the mains fuse is withdrawn, or
–the
Ensure power is not supplied to the appliance while maintenance
or repair work is being carried out.
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by an
extension lead.
Extension leads do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance, (e.g. danger of overheating).
Use
Do not let small children play with the appliance or its controls or
operate it. Supervise its use by the el- derly or infirm.
Never use an open flame beneath the cooker hood. To avoid the
danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame.
When switched on, the cooker hood could draw flames into the filter. Fat par- ticles drawn into the cooker hood pres- ent a fire hazard.
When using the cooker hood over a gas hob ensure that any burners
in use are always covered by a pan.
Otherwise flames could be drawn up by the suction of the cooker hood, parts of which could then be damaged.
Always switch the cooker hood on when using the hob, otherwise con-
densation may collect in the hood, which could cause corrosion.
When cooking with oil or fat, chip pans and deep fat fryers etc, do not leave the pans unattended. Never
leave an open grill unattended when grilling. Overheated oil and fat can ig- nite and could set the cooker hood on fire.
Do not use the cooker hood with- out the grease filters in place.
This way you will avoid the risk of grease and dirt getting into the ap- pliance and hindering its smooth oper- ation.
The filters should be regularly cleaned or changed as appropri-
ate. Saturated filters are a fire hazard.
Under no circumstances use a steam cleaner to clean this ap-
pliance. Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit.
In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infesta-
tion by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any dam- age which may be caused by cock- roaches or other vermin will not be covered by the appliance guarantee.
