SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
-The cooking surface and the inferior part of the cooker
hood must be at a minimum distance of 65 cm.
-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 cooker hood, when evacuating the extracted air,
could generate negative pressure in the room, which
can’t 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.
-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 rating label
placed inside the appliance itself.
-Please disconnect the appliance from power mains,
before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance
operation. If the appliance is not equipped with a
nonseparable flexible cable and plug, or with another
device ensuring omnipolar disconnection from the
mains, with an opening distance between the contacts
of at least 3 mm, then such disconnecting devices must
be provided in the fixed installation.

-If the appliance is equipped with a power cord and a
plug, it shall be placed in such a way that 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 fire
risk due to oil and 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.
-Two persons are needed for the installation of
this product.
-This appliance complies with all relevant local and
national safety requirements. Inappropriate use can,
however, lead to personal injury and damage
to property.
-The cooker hood is not intended for outdoor use.
-It must only be used as a domestic appliance to extract
vapours and remove odours from cooking. Any other
usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could
be dangerous.
-Where a recirculation cooker hood is fitted above a gas
hob, please ensure that there is an adequate supply of
fresh air into the room in which it is installed. Please
seek the advice of a qualified gas fitter (e.g. GasSafe in
the UK) if necessary.

5Instruction manual TEL900Please keep this instruction manual for future reference
-Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from
the cooker hood unless they are constantly supervised.
-Children 8 years and older may only use the cooker
hood unsupervised if they have been shown how
to use it safely and recognise and understand the
consequences of incorrect operation.
-The electrical safety of this appliance can only be
guaranteed when correctly earthed. It is essential
that this standard safety requirement is met. If in any
doubt please have the electrical installation tested by a
qualified electrician.
-Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity
supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead.
These are a fire hazard and do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance.
-The cooker hood can get very hot during cooking due
to heat rising from the hob.
-Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the
cooker hood has cooled down.
