3 safety warnings

For the installer

• When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted
with a 120mm diameter hose. Attention: The hose is not
supplied and must be purchased separately.
• When installing the hood observe the following
minimum distances from the cooking top:
electric cookers
gas cookers
The hood can be installed above these heights but for
optimum performance it should be installed at the distance
quoted for the appropriate heat source.
• The national Standard on fuel-burning systems specifies a
maximum depression of 0.04 mbar in such rooms.
• The air outlet must not be connected to chimney flues or
combustion gas ducts. The air outlet must under no
circumstances be connected to ventilation ducts for rooms
in which fuel-burning appliances are installed.
• The air outlet installation must comply with the regulations
laid down by the relevant local authorities.
• When the unit is used in extraction mode, a sufficiently
large ventilation hole must be provided, with dimensions
that are approximately the same as the outlet hole.
• National and regional building regulations impose a
number of restrictions on using hoods and fuel-burning
appliances connected to a chimney, such as coal or oil
room-heaters and gas fires, in the same room.
• Hoods can only be used safely with appliances connected
to a chimney if the room and/or flat (air/environment
combination) is ventilated from outside using a suitable
ventilation hole approximately 500-600 cm² large to avoid
the possibility of a depression being created during
operation of the hood.
• If you have any doubts, contact the relevant controlling
authority or building inspector's office.
• Since the rule for rooms with fuel burning appliances is
"outlet hole of the same size as the ventilation hole", a hole
of 500-600 cm², which is to say a larger hole, could
reduce the performance of the extractor hood.
• If the hood is used in its recirculation mode, it will operate
simply and safely in the above conditions without the need
for any of the aforementioned measures.
• When the hood is used in its extraction mode, the
following rules must be followed to obtain optimal
operation:
- short and straight outlet hose.
- keep bends in outlet hose to a minimum.
- never install the hoses with an acute angle, they must
always follow a gentle curve.
- keep the hose as large as possible (preferably the same
diameter as the outlet hole).
600mm
700mm
- the length should be no more than:
3 metres with one 90° bend
2 metres with two 90° bends
Bends of more than 90° will reduce the efficiency of the
hood and reduce the airflow.
• Failure to observe these basic instructions will drastically
reduce the performance and increase the noise levels of
the extractor hood.

For the user

• The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours
from the kitchen, it will not extract steam.
• Always cover lighted elements to prevent excess heat
from damaging the appliance. In the case of oil, gas and
coal fired cookers it is essential to avoid open flames.
• Also, when frying, keep the deep frying pan on the cooker
top/cooker under careful control.
• The hot oil in the frying pan might ignite due to
overheating.
• The risk of self-ignition increases when the oil being used
is dirty.
• It is extremely important to note that overheating can
cause a fire.
• Never carry out any flambé cooking under the hood.
• Always disconnect the unit from the power supply
before carrying out any work on the hood, including
replacing the light bulb
(take the cartridge fuse out of the fuse holder or switch off
the automatic circuit breaker)
• It is very important to clean the hood and replace
the filter at the recommended intervals. Failure to do
so could cause grease deposits to build up, resulting
in a fire hazard.
• The appliance is not intended for use by young children or
infirm persons without supervision.
• Older children must be supervised if using the appliance.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
WARNING:-
Ensure that the appliance is switched off before
replacing the lamp to avoid the possibility of electric
shock.
