Safety warnings
For the user
•
The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours
from the kitchen, it will not extract steam.
• Always cover heating elements, to prevent excess heat from
damaging the appliance. In the case of oil, gas and coal fired
cookers it is essential to avoid open flames.
• Also, when frying, keep the deep frying pan on the cooker top/cooker
under careful control.
• The hot oil in the frying pan might ignite due to overheating.
• The risk of self-ignition increases when the oil being used is dirty.
• It is extremely important to note that overheating can cause a fire.
•
Never carry out any flambé cooking under the hood.
•
Always disconnect the unit from the power supply before
carrying out any work on the hood, including replacing the
light bulb
(take the cartridge fuse out of the fuse holder or switch off
the automatic circuit breaker).
•
It is very important to clean the hood and replace the filter at
the recommended intervals. Failure to do so could cause
grease deposits to build up, resulting in a fire hazard.
For the installer
• When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a
150mm diameter hose.
• Should there already be a pipe of diameter 125 mm that ducts to the
outside through the walls or roof, it is possible to use the 150/125
mm reduction flange provided (DD 8794 and DD 8795 only). In this
case the hood will be slightly noisier.
•
When installing the hood observe the following minimum
distances from the cooking top:
Electric cooking hobs
300mm
• The national Standard on fuel-burning systems specifies a maximum
depression of 0.04 mbar in such rooms.
• The air outlet must not be connected to chimney flues or combustion
gas ducts. The air outlet must under no circumstances be connected
to ventilation ducts for rooms in which fuel-burning appliances are
installed.
• The air outlet installation must comply with the regulations laid down
by the relevant authorities.
