Always follow basic safety precautions and accident prevention measures when using an electrical
appliance, including the following:
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION ADVICE
WARNING: All electrical work associated with the installation of this rangehood must be
carried out by a licensed electrician.
WARNING: This rangehood must be installed by a suitably qualified person in strict
accordance with all instructions in this manual.
Cables: Do not allow electrical fittings or cables to come into contact with areas on the associated
equipment (cooktop or stove) that get hot.
Air discharge: The exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting
fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
External air evacuation: Make sure to follow your local laws that apply to external air evacuation
when installing and using the rangehood.
Electrical safety and cord handling
Voltage and frequency: Before plugging the unit into an appropriate electrical outlet, make sure your
outlet voltage and circuit frequency correspond to the voltage stated on the appliance rating label.
Power cord: Check the cord regularly for damage. Do not use the appliance if the cord, or any other
part of the appliance, has been damaged.
Damaged cord: A damaged cord must be replaced by the manufacturer or a similarly qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.
Disconnect: Before cleaning the rangehood, make sure to switch it off and unplug it from the
electrical supply. Do not disconnect the appliance with wet hands. Grip by the plug, do not pull by
the cord when disconnecting.
USAGE CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS
Domestic use only: This rangehood is designed for indoor domestic use only. It can be built into a
standard kitchen cabinet or housing unit following the installation instructions in this manual.
Intended purpose: Only use this rangehood for its intended purpose, in its intended environment
and as described in this manual. Any other use may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
Use common sense: These instructions are not intended to cover every possible condition and
situation. As with any electrical household appliance, common sense and caution are therefore
always recommended when installing, operating and maintaining the equipment.
Usage restriction: This rangehood is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.
Children: Supervise young children to ensure they do not play with the appliance. Close supervision
is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
No timer: The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate
remote control system.
CAUTION: Take care when the rangehood is operating simultaneously with an open fireplace
or burner that depend on air from the environment and are supplied by other than electrical
energy, as the rangehood removes air from the environment which a burner or fireplace needs
for combustion.
Ventilation: The rangehood removes air from the environment during use. Always provide adequate
ventilation for safe operation of the rangehood. This is particularly important when the rangehood
is used at the same time as flued heaters burning gas or other fuels.
CAUTION: No open flame cooking: Do not use an open flame for cooking underneath this
rangehood. Open flames can damage the filters and present a fire hazard.
Unattended: Do not leave the rangehood unattended during use.
After use: Make sure to switch off the rangehood after use and before cleaning.
