•
The minimum distance between the surface of the hob and the lowest part of
the hood should be at least 65cm. A distance of between 65cm and 75cm
gives peak efficiency.
•
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
