• The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes
from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
• When the hood is vented externally and used with appliances which burn
fuel (e.g. gas, oil, wood) the area must be sufficiently ventilated to ensure
safe operation. Fresh air must be allowed to freely enter the room to prevent
a partial vacuum.
• A partial vacuum can starve the heating appliance of oxygen, impairing
combustion. It can also prevent toxic fumes from leaving the room, or can
cause fumes to be sucked into the room from outside.
• Safe operation is only possible when the partial vacuum within the working
area does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). This can be achieved by ensuring
air is able to enter the room from outside through a suitable sized opening
which cannot be sealed during operation. A number of alternative solutions
are available to ensure this. If in any doubt, professional advice should be
sought.
• Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.
• There is a potential fire risk if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with
the instructions.
• Clean your appliance periodically by following the method given in the
chapter MAINTENANCE
• If used in recirculation mode, the charcoal filters trap odours and must be
replaced at least once a year depending on how frequently the cooker hood
has been used.
• For safety reasons, please use only the same size of fixing or mounting
screw, which are recommended in this instruction manual.
• Warning: Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with
these instructions may result in electrical hazards
CAUTION: Accessible parts of the hood can become very hot during
use with cooking appliances, whether in use or not, due to heat rising
from the hob. Sufficient time should be allowed for the unit to cool
before touching either the housing or the grease filters
