Warning and Safety instructions
When using the cooker hood in extraction mode at the same time
as another heating appliance which de- pends on the air in the room, (e.g. gas, oil or coal fired heaters, continuous flow or other water heaters, gas cooker, gas hob or gas oven) special care must be taken, as the action of the cooker hood extracts air from the room, which these types of heater need for combustion.
They could also draw exhaust air back in from chimneys or ducting in con- travention of fire safety regulations.
In order to ensure safe operation, and to prevent gases given off by the heating appliances from being drawn back into the room when the extractor and the heater are in operation simultaneously, an underpressure in the room of 0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the maximum permissible.
Ventilation can be maintained by air in- lets which cannot be blocked, in win- dows, doors and outside wall vents, or by other technical measures, such as ensuring that the extractor can only be switched on when the heating ap- pliance is switched off or
N.B: The overall ventilation condition of the dwelling must be taken into ac- count. If in any doubt, the advice of a competent builder or, for gas, a "Corgi" installer must be sought.
If the cooker hood is operated in recir- culation mode (with active charcoal filter) then the above restrictions do not apply.
Appliances with external fans
For appliances with an external fan motor fitted (EXT models) the con-
nection of the two units must be made using the connection cable and the plug connectors. Make sure the correct combination of the two appliances has been selected.
Separate instructions are supplied with the external fan.
Disposal of your old appliance
Before discarding an old ap- pliance, switch off and disconnect
it from the power supply. Cut off and render any plug useless. Cut off the cable directly behind the appliance to prevent misuse.
This should be done by a competent person.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non- compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.
