*Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance
operations, the appliance needs to be removed from
the electric grid. If the appliance is not provided
with a non-separable flexible cable and plug, or with
another device ensuring omnipolar disconnections
from the grid, with an opening distance between
the contacts of at least 3 mm, then such
disconnecting devices must be supplied within the
fixed installation.
If the fixed appliance is supplied with a supply cord
and a plug, the appliance has to be put in a place
where the plug can be reached easily.
*The use of materials which can burst into flames
should be avoided in close proximity of the
appliance. When frying, please pay particular
attention to a fire risk due to oil grease being
highly inflammable, fried oil is especially
dangerous. Do not use uncovered electric grills. In
order to avoid possible fire risk, all instructions for
grease filter cleaning and for removing eventual
grease deposits should be strictly followed.
Warnings
*The appliance is not intended for use by
young children or infirm persons without
supervision. Young children should be supervised
to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
*The hob surface and the lower part of the cooker
hood must be at a minimun distance of 65cm, 76cm
if installed above a gas hob. Always refer to the
guidelines stated in the hob installation guide. If a
greater distance is stated follow the hob details.
*The air extracted cannot be conveyed through
or into a duct used to let out fumes from appliances
powered by energy other than electricity (eg. gas,
central heating, radiators, water heaters, etc.).
*To evacuate the air outlet, please comply
with the pertaining rules given by competent
authorities.
* Provide the room with an adequate aeration
when a cooker hood and appliances fed by energy
other than electric power (gas, oil, or coal stoves,
etc.) are used simultaneously. The cooker hood,
when evacuating the extracted air, could generate
a negative pressure in the room which must not
exceed the limit of 0.04 mbar, in order to avoid the
suck of exhausts deriving from the heat source.
Therefore the room should be provided with air
intakes to allow a constant flow of fresh air.
If the rating label in the cooker hood shows the
symbol , the appliance is built in class II° and it
does not need an earth connection.
If the rating lable in the cooker hood does not
show the symbol , the appliance is built in
class I° and it needs the earth connection.
* When performing the electrical connections on
the appliance, please make sure that the current
tap is provided with earth connection and that
voltage values correspond to those indicated on
the label placed inside the appliance itself.
Ducted or recirculated
The appliance is already produced both
for filtering and for ducted installations.
*In its filtering version (Fig.1), the air and fumes
conveyed by the appliance are cleaned both by a
grease filter and by an active charcoal filter, it is
then put back into circulation through the hole
made on the top of the cabinet.
*In its ducted version (Fig.2), fumes are directly
conveyed outside, through an evacuation duct
connected through the external wall or the ceiling.
Both the charcoal filter and air deflector are not
necessary for this method.
