important information concerning your personal safety as well as use and care of the appliance.
Unpacking

For the Installer
The extractor hood can be installed over any gas and electric
cooktop. Minimum installation height from the bench top to the
bottom of the hood is 700mm (gas range) and 550mm (electric
range). (Fig. 1).
Always mount the extractor hood over the center of the hob.
Ensure that the appliance is installed in a location with good
permanent ventilation.
When making the electrical connections, check that the mains
voltage and frequency corresponds to the technical information
shown on the rating plate.
Electrical connection must be made in accordance to local standards only. Check that the voltage in your area is correct
before plugging in.
Use an electrical connector with earth that is correct for your location. The electrical connection of this appliance must be
connected to earth (where applicable):
z Green & Yellow = EARTH;
z Blue = NEUTRAL;
z Brown = LIVE
Ducted mode:
Connect the extractor hood to the exhaust duct through a pipe of minimum diameter 150mm. For the most efficient air flow
exhaust, use the shortest and straightest duct route possible.
Do not connect the extractor hood to exhaust ducts carrying combustion fumes.
If the extractor hood is used in conjunction with nonͲelectrical appliances (e.g. gas burning appliances), a sufficient degree of
aeration must be allowed in the room to prevent the backflow of exhaust gas. The kitchen must have an opening
communicating directly with the open air in order to allow entry of clean air.
Note: The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for complaints attributed to the design and layout of the pipework.
For the User
The extractor hood is designed for domestic use to eliminate unpleasant odours from the kitchen. Do not use the hood for
other uses than its specific purpose.
Do not allow young children to play with or operate the appliance. Supervise its use by the elderly or infirm.
Installation and repair should be attempted by qualified technical personnel only.
It is dangerous to modify any part of this appliance. Tampering with electrical connections or mechanical parts can cause
operation faults and may put the user at risk.
Never leave high naked flames under the extractor hood when it is in operation. Always cover lit burners with cookware.
Do not flambé or grill with an open flame directly under the extractor hood. Flames could be drawn up into the hood by the
suction and the grease filters may catch fire.
Monitor cooking continuously as overheated oil increases the risk of selfͲignition.
Do not operate the extractor hood without a grease filter.
Always disconnect the unit from the power supply before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work on the hood,
including replacement of light bulbs to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
Do replace defective bulbs immediately to prevent the remaining bulbs from overloading.
SAFETY WARNINGS
