The instructions for use apply to several versions of this appliance. Accordingly, you
may find descriptions of individual features that do not apply to your specific appliance.
INSTALLATION
•The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damages resulting from incorrect or improper
installation.
•The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking vessels on the hob
and the lowest part of the range hood. ( When the rangehood is located above a gas
appliance, this distance shall be at least 70cm. If the instructions for installation for the gas
hob specify a greater distance, this has to be taken into account. The distance of 70cm can
be reduced for: non-combustible parts of rangehoods and parts operating at safety extra low
voltage, provided these parts do not give access to live parts if deformed)
•Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate fixed to the
rangehood.
•For Class I appliances, check that the domestic power supply guarantees adequate earthing.
•Connect the rangehood to the exhaust flue through a pipe of minimum diameter 150mm. The
route of the flue must be as short as possible.
•The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances
burning gas or other fuels.
•If the rangehood is used in conjunction with non-electrical appliances (e.g. gas burning
appliances),a sufficient degree of aeration must be guaranteed in the room in order to
prevent the backflow of exhaust gas. The kitchen must have an opening connected directly
with the open air in order to guarantee the entry of clean air. When the rangehood is used in
conjunction with appliances supplied with energy other than electric, the negative pressure in
the room must not exceed 0,04 mbar to prevent fumes being drawn back into the room by
the rangehood.
•If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
•Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.
USE
•The rangehood is only for home use, not suitable for barbecue, roast shop or other commercial
purposes.
•Never use the rangehood for purposes other than for which it has been designed.
•Never leave high naked flames under the rangehood when it is in operation.
•Adjust the flame intensity to direct it onto the bottom of the pan only, making sure that
it does not engulf the sides.
•Deep fat fryers must be continuously monitored during use: overheated oil can burst
into flames.
•Do not allow flames directly under the rangehood; risk of fire.
•This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

MAINTENANCE
•The rangehood and its filter should be cleaned regularly according to the instructions.
•Switch off or unplug the appliance from the mains supply before carrying out any
maintenance work.
•Clean and/or replace the filters after the specified period (fire hazard).
•Clean the rangehood using a damp cloth and a neutral liquid detergent.
•The appliance will function correctly when using 4 hob elements at most.
