RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUG
-
GESTIONS
The Instructions for Use apply to several ver
-
•
sions of this appliance. Accordingly, you may
find descriptions of individual features that do
not apply to your specific appliance.
The manufacturer will not be held liable for any
•
damages resulting from incorrect or improper
installation.
The minimum safety distance between the
•
cooker top and the extractor hood is 650 mm
(some models can be installed at a lower
height, please refer to the paragraphs on
working dimensions and installation).
Check that the mains voltage corresponds to
•
that indicated on the rating plate fixed to the
inside of the hood.
For Class I appliances, check that the
•
domestic power supply guarantees adequate
earthing.
Connect the extractor to the exhaust flue
•
through a pipe of minimum diameter 120
mm. The route of the flue must be as short as
possible.
Do not connect the extractor hood to exhaust
•
ducts carrying combustion fumes (boilers,
fireplaces, etc.).
If the extractor is used in conjunction with
•
non-electrical appliances (e.g. gas burning
appliances), a sufficient degree of aeration
must be guaranteed in the room in order to
prevent the backflow of exhaust gas. The
kitchen must have an opening communicating
directly with the open air in order to guarantee
the entry of clean air. When the cooker hood is
used in conjunction with appliances supplied
with energy other than electric, the negative
pressure in the room must not exceed 0,04
mbar to prevent fumes being drawn back into
the room by the cooker hood.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
•
replaced from the manufacturer or its service
agent.
USE
The extractor hood has been designed ex
-
•
clusively for domestic use to eliminate kitchen
smells.
Never use the hood for purposes other than
•
for which it has been designed.
Never leave high naked flames under the
•
hood when it is in operation.
Adjust the flame intensity to direct it onto the
•
bottom of the pan only, making sure that it
does not engulf the sides.
Deep fat fryers must be continuously moni
-
•

flames.
Do not flambè under the range hood; risk of
•
