Important: 

keep these instructions for use with the appliance. If the appliance should be 

sold or passed on to others, make sure that the instructions are passed on with it. We thank 

you for taking note of these suggestions before installing and using the appliance. They have 

been written for your personal safety and the safety of others.

- SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

These hoods have been designed for personal use in the home. The appliance must be used 

by adults. Make sure that children do not come into contact with the appliance and that they 

do not use it to play with. Make sure that children do not operate the controls.

-  When the appliance is delivered, check the overall appearance of the packaging.

  Any remarks should be written on the delivery coupon, of which you keep a copy. 

  Your appliance is designed for normal domestic use.

   It is not designed for commercial or industrial use, or for purposes other than those for which it 

was designed.

-  Any consequences of or damage from incorrect installation or incorrect use of the appliance will 

not be covered by the manufacturer’s guarantee.

-  Repairs must be performed only by an authorised specialist.

  Always disconnect the hood before carrying out cleaning or maintenance operations.

-  Adequately ventilate the area in case the hood is activated simultaneously with other appliances 

powered from non-electrical sources so that the hood does not ventilate these combustion 

fumes.

-  It is prohibited to cook food over open flames or operate gas hobs without pots or pans on them 

under the hood itself (the flames sucked into the hood might damage the appliance).

-  Deep frying under the appliance must be done under constant supervision as hot oils and fats 

may ignite.

  Respect the guidelines for cleaning and replacement of the filters. Accumulated deposits of 

grease are a fire hazard.

-  This appliance must not be used over cook tops powered by wood or coal or in any case, over 

cook tops with power levels that could damage the appliance.

  Never use steam or high-pressure devices for cleaning your hood (regulations regarding electri-

cal safety).

-  Never use the hood without the grease filters

Constantly seeking to improve our products, we reserve the right to modify their technical, func-

tional, or aesthetic characteristics as they evolve.

In the case of the version with external motor, for normal downdraft operation, it is necessary 

to use an extraction unit (external motor) made by the same manufacturer.

The air collected must not be conveyed into a flue used for smoke or fumes from appliances 

powered by anything other than electricity (central heating systems, etc.).  As far as concerns 

discharging air from the flue, respect the guidelines of the competent authorities.
