    Safety warnings

For kitchen unit installer

Attention: 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.
• When used as an extractor unit, the hood

must be fitted with a  150mm diameter hose.

• When installing the hood, make sure you

respect the following minimum distance
from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring
surfaces:
electric cookers

600 mm

gas cookers

750 mm

coal and oil cookers

850 mm min.

• If the cooker hood is operating in the suction

version concurrently to other combustion
appliances you will need to ensure that the
depression in the environment of these instal-
lations does not exceed the 4PA (4x10

-5  

bar).

• 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.

• It is advisable to apply for authorization from

the relevant controlling authority when
connecting the outlet to an unused chimney
flue or combustion gas duct.
The air outlet installation must comply with
the regulations laid down by the relevant
authorities.

• When the unit is used in its extractor version,

a sufficiently large ventilation hole must be
provided, with dimensions that are approxi-
mately the same as the outlet hole.

• National and regional building regulations

impose a number of restrictions on using
hoods and fuel-burning appliances connected
to a chimney, such as coal or oil room-
heaters and gas fires, in the same room.

• Since the rule for rooms with fuel burning

appliances is “outlet hole of the same size as
the ventilation hole”, a hole of 500-600 cm

2

,

which is to say a larger hole, could reduce
the performance of the extractor hood.

• If the hood is used in its filtering function, it

will operate simply and safely in the above
conditions without the need for any of the
aforementioned measures.

• When the hood is used in its extractor func-

tion, the following rules must be followed to
obtain optimal operation:

— short and straight outlet hose
— keep bends in outlet hose to a minimum
— never install the hoses with an acute

angle, they must always follow a gentle
curve only

— keep the hose as large as possible (prefer-

ably the same diameter as the outlet hole).

• Failure to observe these basic rules will

drastically reduce the performance and
increase the noise levels of the extractor
hood.

For user

• Always cover lighted 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 over-

heating 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, causing a fire
hazard.
