Warning and Safety instructions
Never connect an exhaust hood to an active chimney, dryer vent, vent flue, or room ventilating ductwork. Seek
professional advice before connecting an exhaust hood vent to an existing, in- active chimney or vent flue.
Do not place this exhaust hood over cooktops burning solid fuel.
Never operate gas burners without pots. Heat generated by pro-
longed operation of gas burners with- out pots could damage the hood.
Do not use the exhaust hood with- out the grease filters in place.
Clean the grease filters regularly. Saturated filters are a fire hazard.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the hood. The steam could
penetrate to electrical components and cause a short circuit.
To reduce the risk of cooking fires:
–Keep the fan, filters and cooking area clean and free of grease.
–Turn on the hood when cooking at high temperatures.
–Heat oils slowly. Only use the high settings of the range or cooktop when necessary.
–Never leave a turned on range or cooktop unattended.
–Always use cookware and utensils that are appropriate for the type and amount of food being prepared.
Do not use water on grease fires. Smother any fire or flame, or use a
dry chemical or
When connecting the hood to an ex- ternal vent, make sure that there is adequate ventilation in the room where the exhaust hood is to be used.
When using the hood in the same area as other appliances requiring room air (e.g.
Adequate ventilation can be main- tained by installing air vents in windows or walls or by ensuring that the hood can only be turned on when the other appliances are off, or vice versa.
To prevent combustion gases being drawn back into the room by the ex- haust hood, the underpressure in the room must be no greater than 6 psi (0,04 mbar) when the hood and these appliances are running simultaneously.
If there are any doubts as to whether there is adequate ventilation, consult an experienced professional.
The above ventilation restrictions and warnings do not apply if the ex- haust hood is retrofitted with an air recirculation kit.
