General safety information
• The distance between the cookware
support surface on top of the cooking
appliance and the lowest part of the
cooker hood must be at least:
65 cm if the hood is installed over a gas
cooktop
55 cm if the hood is installed over an
electric cooktop.
If the installation instruction manual for
the gas cooking appliance specifies a
greater distance, this measurement
should be taken into account.
• The cooker hood comes with anchor
plugs which are suitable for use with
most walls/ceilings.
However, you must contact a qualified
technician to check the suitability of the
materials in relation to the type of wall/
ceiling, which must be strong enough
to support the weight of the unit.
• Caution! Do not hook the unit up to
its electrical power supply until the
installation has been completed.
• Before cleaning or servicing the unit,
disconnect it from the mains by pulling
the power plug or disconnecting the
main circuit breaker.
• Always wear work gloves when installing
and servicing the unit.
• It is not intended for use by children
or persons with sensory or mental
disability and lack of experience or
familiarity, except under the supervision
or instruction of a person responsible
for their safety.
• Make sure children do not play with the
unit.
• Never operate the unit without its
grease filter installed!
• NEVER use the hood as a support,
unless expressly instructed to do so.
• The room must be adequately ventilated
if the hood is used at the same time with
other equipment burning gas or other
fuels.
• Extracted air must not be conveyed into
a duct used for exhausting combustion
fumes from gas or other fuel-fired
equipment.
• Observe all regulations in relation to air
extraction.
• NEVER cook food with an open flame
under the hood; open flames will
damage the filters and may cause fires.
Never do this.
• Always supervise frying to make sure
the heated oil does not catch fire.
