	•	If the extractor fan is going to be used
		simultaneously with equipment powered by

•Excessive fat accumulation in the kitchen hood and metal filters is a fire risk and may also cause dripping, therefore the inside of the kitchen hood and the metal filters must be cleaned at least once a month.

•The lower part of the kitchen hood must be fitted at least 50 cm. over electric hobs and 65 cm. over gas or mixed hobs.

•Your kitchen hood is designed for domestic use and only for extraction and purification of fumes produced during food preparation. It will be your responsibility if it is used for other purposes, which may be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot accept responsibility for damage caused by improper use of the appliance.
