IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Old appliances are not worthless junk. Valuable raw materials can be reclaimed by recycling old appliances. Before disposing of your old appliance, render it unusable.

You received your new appliance in a protective shipping carton. All packaging materials are environmen- tally friendly and recyclable. Please contribute to a better environment by disposing of packaging materials in an environmentally-friendly manner.

The hood can only be used in exhaust air mode.

Always mount the hood over the center of the cook- top.

Minimum distance between electric cooktop and bottom edge of hood: 30” mm, Fig. 1.

The extractor hood must not be installed over a solid fuel cooker – a potential fire hazard (e.g. flying sparks) – unless the cooker features a closed, non-removable cover and all national regulations are observed.

The smaller the gap between the hood and burners, the greater the likelihood that droplets will form on the underside of the hood.

Additional gas cooktop information:

When installing gas cooktops, comply with the relevant national statutory regulations.

Always comply with the currently valid regulations and installation instructions supplied by the gas appliance manufacturer.

Only one side of the hood may be installed next to a high-sided unit or high wall. Leave a gap of at least 2”.

Minimum distance between the upper edge of the gas burner grates and lower edge of the hood: 30”, Fig. 1.
