Safety warnings
For the user
 The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours from the
kitchen, it will not extract steam.
 Always cover lighted elements, to prevent excess heat from
damaging the appliance. In the case of oil, gas and coal fired
cookers it is essential to avoid open flames.
 Also, when frying, keep the deep frying pan on the cooker top/cooker
under careful control.
 The hot oil in the frying pan might ignite due to overheating.
 The risk of self-ignition increases when the oil being used is dirty.
 It is extremely important to note that overheating can cause a fire.
Never carry out any flambé cooking under the hood.
Always disconnect the unit from the power supply before
carrying out any work on the hood, including replacing the
light bulb (take the cartridge fuse out of the fuse holder or switch off
the automatic circuit breaker).
It is very important to clean the hood and replace the filter at
the recommended intervals. Failure to do so could cause
grease deposits to build up, resulting in a fire hazard.
This appliance is marked according to the European directive 2002/96/

For the insta er
 When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a
120mm diameter hose (HE 3160: Ø 120-110mm).
Attention: The hose is not supplied and must be purchased
separately.
When installing the hood, make sure you respect the following
minimum distance from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring
surfaces:
electric cookers 600 mm
gas cookers 700 mm
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater
distance, this must be adhered to.
 The national standard on fuel-burning systems specifies a maximum
depression of 0.04 bar in such rooms.
 The air outlet must not be connected to chimney flues or combustion
gas ducts. The air outlet must under no circumstances be connected
to ventilation ducts for rooms in which fuel-burning appliances are
installed.
 The air outlet installation must comply with the regulations laid down
by the relevant authorities.
 When the unit is used in its extractor version, a sufficiently large
ventilation hole must be provided, with dimensions that are
approximately the same as the outlet hole.
 National and regional building regulations impose a number of
restrictions on using hoods and fuel-burning appliances connected to
a chimney, such as coal or oil room-heaters and gas fires, in the
same room.
 Hoods can only be used safely with appliances connected to a
chimney if the room and/or flat (air/environment combination) is
ventilated from outside using a suitable ventilation hole approximately
500-600 cm2 large to avoid the possibility of a depression being
created during operation of the hood.
 If you have any doubts, contact the relevant controlling authority or
building inspectors office.
 Since the rule for rooms with fuel burning appliances is outlet hole of
the same size as the ventilation hole, a hole of 500-600 cm2, which

45
is to say a larger hole, could reduce the performance of the extractor
hood.
 If the hood is used in its filtering function, it will operate simply and
safely in the above conditions without the need for any of the
aforementioned measures.
 The ducting must be fire retardant, 120mm in diameter and the
length should be no more than:
3 metres with one 90 degree bend
2 metres with two 90 degree bends
Bends of more than 90 degrees will reduce the efficiency of the hood
and reduce the airflow.
 Failure to observe these basic instructions will drastically reduce the
performance and increase the noise levels of the extractor hood.
