OPERATING CONDITIONS
The cooker hood was designed for removal of
kitchen fumes to the outside. It should be
connected to an appropriate ventilation duct (do
not connect the hood to any chimney, smoke or
flue-gas ducts which are in use).
The device shall be installed at the distance of at
least 650 mm above the working top of an electro
and 700 mm above a gas cooker.
Do not leave open flame under the hood. When
removing pots from the burners set the flame to its
minimum level.
Any food cooked in fat shall be constantly
monitored, since overheated fat can ignite very
easily.
The grease filter of your cooker hood should be
cleaned at least every 2 months, because a filter
soaked with grease becomes easily flammable.
Pull the plug of the power cord from a wall socket
before any cleaning, filter replacement or repair
operation.
The room must be well aerated in case a hood and
some other heat equipment fed with an energy
other than electricity (gas, oil, coal heaters, etc)
operate at the same time. In fact the intake hood,
disposing of air, could create a vacuum in the
room. The vacuum should not exceed 0,004
millibar. This prevents the gas exhausted by the
heat source from being intaken again. It is
therefore advisable to ensure the room contains
air taps able to ensure a steady flow of fresh air
(this point does not apply when the hood is used
as an odour absorber).
When connecting to 220 – 230 V power supply
network use an electric socket in working order.
