The filters should be regularly
cleaned, or changed, as appropri-
ate.
Saturated filters are a fire hazard.
Some washing-up liquids or dish-
washer detergents may cause the
metal filter to discolour. This discolour-
ation will in no way affect the function
or fitness for use.
Under no circumstances use a
steam cleaner to clean this ap-
pliance.
Pressurised steam could give rise to a
short circuit, or cause permanent dam-
age to the surface and to components,
for which the manufacturer of the
cooker hood cannot accept any respon-
sibility.
In countries which may be subject
to infestation by cockroaches or
other vermin, pay particular attention to
keeping the appliance and its surround-
ings in a clean condition at all times.
Any damage which might be caused
by cockroaches or other vermin will not
be covered by the appliance guarantee.
Installation
The distance between the top of
the hob and the bottom of the
cooker hood (when the vapour guide is
completely retracted) must measure at
least:
– 45 cm above electric hobs
– 65 cm above gas hobs.
Australia / New Zealand:
60 cm for electric and gas hobs.
Only for U.K.:
The distance of
65 cm between the cooker hood
and a gas hob is a minimum, which is
only permissible if the nominal heat
ratings given in the table below are not
exceeded:
Gas cooker
maximum
nominal rating
one burner
2.7 kW
all burners
7.5 kW
oven
3.5 kW
Gas hob
maximum
nominal rating
one burner
3.5 kW
all burners
10.3 kW
Gas hob with ceramic cover plate
The data given for maximum nominal (heat)
ratings do not aply to a gas hob with a ceramic
cover plate. In this case it is essential to refer to
the hob manufacturer’s data.
Safety regulations prohibit the fit-
ting of a cooker hood over solid
fuel stoves.
All ducting, pipework and fittings
must be of non-flammable material.
The appliance must not be con-
nected to a chimney or vent flue
which is in use. Neither should it be
connected to ducting which ventilates
rooms with fireplaces.
If exhaust air is to be extracted into
a chimney or ventilation duct no
longer used for other purposes, take
professional advice.
