CAUTION
Read the following carefully to avoid an electric shock or fire.
GENERAL WARNINGS
The appliance must be plugged into its own
dedicated 220-240V, 50Hz AC electrical outlet.
This appliance 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 the use of the appliance by
a person responsible for their safety.
Ensure the canopy rangehood is switched off before
carrying out maintenance, to avoid any possibility of
electric shock.
Never carry out flambé cooking under the canopy
rangehood.
This canopy rangehood is not recommended for
barbecues and cannot be installed for external use.
Grease filters must be removed every four weeks
(maximum) for cleaning to reduce the risk of fire.
The exhaust from the canopy rangehood must not
be discharged into any heating flue, which may
carry combustion products from other sources. (Fig1)
Exhaust air must not be discharged into a wall cavity,
unless the cavity is designed for the purpose.
There must be adequate ventilation of the room when
the canopy rangehood is used at the same time as
appliances burning gas or other fuels.
Always cover lit gas burners with pots or pans when
canopy rangehood is in use.
Always switch off gas burners before you remove pots
or pans.
Do not leave lit gas burners exposed due to the risk
of fire. (Fig 2)
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Check that the mains voltage matches with the voltage on
the data plate inside the canopy rangehood. Check that the
installation complies with standards of local building, gas
and electrical authorities. Before connecting to the mains
supply ensure that the mains voltage corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate inside the cooker hood.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer or its service agent or similarly qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.
SAFETY WARNINGS – FOR THE INSTALLER
When installing the cooker hood, make sure you adhere to
the minimum and maximum distances from the cooker hood
base to the hob surface (refer to page 5).
Exhaust flue installation: The following rules must be
strictly followed to obtain optimal air extraction.
• Keep exhaust flue short and straight
• Do not reduce the size or restrict exhaust flue.
• Keep bends in the exhaust flue to a minimum.
• When using flexible flue always install duct with helix
pulled taut to minimise pressure loss.
• Failure to observe these basic instructions will drastically
reduce the performance and increase the noise levels of
the cooker hood.
Exhaust air must not be discharged into a wall cavity, unless
the cavity is designed for that purpose.
The exhaust from the cooker hood must not be discharged
into any heating flue, which may carry combustion products
from other sources.
NOTE: Some installations may require the telescopic
exhaust cover to be cut to length. Cut with sharp tin snips
or a fine-tooth hack saw blade, taking care not to distort or
dent the exhaust cover.
