Technical safety
• Before installation, check the cooker hood
for visible signs of damage. Under no
circumstances should you use a damaged
appliance. It could be dangerous.
• Before connecting the appliance to the
mains supply, make sure that the voltage and
frequency details given on the data plate
correspond with the on-site electricity supply,
otherwise the appliance could be damaged.
Consult a qualied electrician if in any doubt.
• The electrical safety of this appliance can only
be guaranteed when continuity is complete
between the appliance and an eective
earthing system which complies with current
local and national safety regulations. It is most
important that this basic safety requirement is
present and tested regularly, and where there
is any doubt, the household wiring system
should be inspected by a qualied electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for
the consequences of an inadequate earthing
system (e.g. electric shock).
• For safety reasons, this appliance may only be
used when it has been fully installed.
• Do not use the cooker hood without the lters
in place. This way you will avoid the risk of
grease and dirt getting into the appliance and
hindering its smooth operation.
• The lters should be regularly cleaned or
changed as appropriate.
Saturated lters are a re hazard. See "Cleaning
and Maintenance".
• The cooker hood can get very hot during
cooking due to heat rising from the hob.
Do not touch the housing or the grease lters
until the cooker hood has cooled down.
• Do not use a steam-cleaner to clean this
appliance. Steam could reach the electrical
components and cause a short circuit.
• Only open the housing as described in the
instructions. Under no circumstances should
any other parts of the housing be opened.
Tampering with electrical connections
or components and mechanical parts is
highly dangerous to the user, and can cause
operational faults.
• Installation, maintenance and repairs may
only be carried out by an authorised person
in accordance with current national and local
safety regulations. Repairs and other work
by unqualied persons could be dangerous.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for
unauthorised work.
• Faulty components must only be replaced by
genuine original parts. The manufacturer can
only guarantee the safety of the appliance
when suitable replacement parts are used.
• During installation, maintenance and repair
work, the appliance must be disconnected
from the mains electricity supply. It is only
completely isolated from the electricity supply
when:
– it is switched o at the isolator, or
– the mains fuse is disconnected, or
– it is switched o at the wall socket and the
plug withdrawn, or
– the fuse to the fused spur connection unit is
withdrawn.
• Do not connect the appliance to the mains
electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an
extension lead. These do not guarantee the
required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger
of overheating).
• This appliance may only be used in mobile
installations if a risk assessment of the
installation has been carried out by a suitably
qualied engineer.
• In areas which may be subject to infestation
by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular
attention to keeping the appliance and its
surroundings in a clean condition at all times.
Any damage which may be caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the guarantee.
