PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS
WARNING!
• The appliance is not intended for use by young children or
persons with restricted physical, sensory or mental
abilities or without experience and knowledge of the
appliance, unless they are under the supervision or
instruction of a person responsible for their safety.
• Children must be supervised so that they do not play with
the appliance.
1. Do not connect the appliance to the electrical power supply
until installation is completed. Always disconnect the hood
before cleaning or carrying out maintenance by unplugging it or
switching off the power supply.
2. Do not "flambé" food under the hood. Naked flames could
cause a fire.
3. Do not leave pans unattended when frying. Cooking oil can
catch fire.
4. Regular cleaning and maintenance is essential to correct
functioning and good performance. Regularly remove dirt
deposits. Regularly clean or replace filters. Never use flammable
materials as hoses for extracted air.
5. If the hood is used together with other appliances powered by
gas or other fuels, ambient negative pressure must not exceed
-5
4 Pa (4 x 10 bar). For this reason, make sure the room is
adequately ventilated.
6. Exhaust air must not be conveyed through the same flue used by
the heating system or other appliances powered by gas or other
fuels.
7. The room must be adequately ventilated when the hood is used
together with appliances powered by gas or other fuels.
8. When replacing the bulbs, first ensure that they are cold.
9. The discharge air must not be ducted to a flue used for removing
fumes produced by appliances using gas or other fuels, but must
have a separate outlet.
All national regulations on air discharge must be observed.
10. The hood is not a shelf, therefore do not overload or place
objects on it.
11. Do not use or leave the hood without its lamps correctly
installed - risk of electric shock.
Note: always wear work gloves for all installation and maintenance
operations.

Electrical connections
The mains power supply must correspond to the voltage indicated
on the appliance rating plate located inside the hood. If provided
with a plug, connect the hood to a power socket complying with
current regulations and located in an accessible area. If it does not
have a plug (direct connection to the power supply) or if the socket is
not in an accessible place, fit a suitable double-pole switch that
ensures complete disconnection from the power supply in category
III overvoltage conditions, complying with the installation rules.
WARNING: Before reconnecting the hood circuit to the
power supply and checking correct operation, always make
sure the power cable is correctly fitted and that it was NOT
crushed in its housing during installation.
Cleaning the hood
Important! Failure to remove oil/grease (at least once a month)
could result in fire.
Use a soft cloth with a neutral detergent. Never use abrasive
substances or alcohol.
Before using the hood
Please read these instructions carefully and keep them for future
reference, in order to ensure best use of your hood.
Packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene, etc.) can be
dangerous for children and should be kept well out of their reach.
Make sure the hood has not been damaged during transport.
