SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Whilst this product is compliant with all safety requirements, incorrect or
inappropriate use can lead to both personal injury and potential damage to
property. Please read the contents of this instruction booklet thoroughly before
fitting or using this appliance.
• The cooker hood must be installed in accordance with the installation
instructions and all measurements followed.
• All installation work must be carried out by a competent person or qualified
electrician.
• The unit must be connected to an earthed power supply.
• If venting externally, make sure the ducting has no bends sharper than 90
degrees as this will reduce the efficiency of the cooker hood.
• The cooker hood is for domestic use only and is not designed for commercial
use. It should only be used for the purpose it was intended – to extract vapours
and cooking odours.
• Do not flambé or use an open flame under the cooker hood.
• Do not try to use the cooker hood without the grease filters or if the filters are
excessively greasy. They should be cleaned regularly (see "Maintenance") or
replaced as necessary.
• The extraction fan must be level to avoid grease collection at one end, as this
could cause a potential fire risk.
• Do not leave frying pans unattended during use because overheated fat or oils
might catch fire.
• If the cooker hood is damaged, do not attempt to use it.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and
persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards
involved.
• Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall
not be made by children without supervision.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance. It is not a toy.
• The plug must be accessible after installation for isolation in case of an
emergency – or an appropriate fused switch if the unit is hard-wired to the
mains via a spur.
