Before installing and /or using the cooker hood, please read these instructions carefully.
Before installing the cooker hood make sure the volt- age (V), frequency (Hz) indicated on the serial num- ber plate and specifications on the rating plate on the inside of the cooker hood correspond to the voltage and frequency of the mains supply.
INSTALLATION
The cooker hood must not be installed and connect- ed to flues where other appliances are installed and which run off other energy supplies other than elec- tricity (water heaters - boilers - cookers, range/gas etc). The extraction hood requires a 125mm extrac- tion pipe connected directly to the outside with an opening of a minimum cross section of 150cm2.
The hood must be installed with a distance of 650- 750mm between the cooker top/hob and the extrac- tion hood. The cooker hood must not be installed above cookers with
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This cooker hood is designed for permanent fixture. Connect to mains supply. Check voltage and fre- quency given on the rating plate located on the inside of the hood. Connect the mains cable to a power socket or to a double pole switch with a con- tact gap of at least 3mm. The mains cable (type H05VV- F 2x 0.75 mm2) is connected to terminals marked with the letters L (power line) and N (neutral) mounted on the hood and is secured in position by a cable gland. The mains cable must be connected to a suitable and easily accessible fixed power point. As the electrical installation must comply with the laws and regulations in force only a qualified and authorised electrician must install the hood including connecting it to a double pole switch with a contact gap of at least 3mm.
Connect the mains cable if provided with a plug to a power socket. The user must have access to the power socket to be able to connect and disconnect the plug once the hood is mounted and fixed.
The manufacturer will not be responsible if the gov- erning health and safety laws are not observed which permit safe and correct use of the hood and electrical connections.
Before servicing or repairing the hood make sure the appliance is disconnected from the mains supply either by removing the plug or switching the power socket to OFF.
CLEANING
Clean the outer part of the hood with a soft cloth and liquid detergent, do not use abrasive cleaning prod- ucts or scouring pads.
It is recommended to wash the filters in a dishwash- er or in water up to 60oC every 3 months.
CHANGING THE LIGHT BULB
Before changing the light bulb, ensure that the appli- ance is not live (the switch should be in position 0 - OFF). Remove the metal
WARNINGS
“NOTE: the areas behind the filters are not intended to be cleaned”
Follow the cleaning instructions given by the manu- facturer and in particular take care that there are not grease deposits on the surface of the hood which could create a possible fire hazard. Make sure the electric hob rings or gas rings are always covered when in use to avoid heating the filter.
When frying never leave pans unattended as there is the risk of the oil overheating and catching fire. If reusing frying oil the fire risk is greater. Never pre- pare flame cooked food dishes under the hood. The air duct by the hood must not be conveyed into a flue used for other appliances that run off other energy supplies other than electricity. If the air is to be duct- ed, before installing make sure the flue is in good condition especially if it has been out of use for a long period of time. Always observe governing laws and regulations regarding ducting waste gases. All rec- ommendations given must be scrupulously observed to avoid any possible fire hazard.
