The fumes should not be extracted through pipes that
are used to evacuate the fumes of gas (or another fuel)
operated devices.
•
If the extractor fan is going to be used simultaneously
with equipment powered by a non-electric energy
source, e.g.: gas cookers, then the room must have
sufficient ventilation.

Excessive fat accumulation in the kitchen hood and
metal filters is a fire risk and may also cause dripping,

Instructions for use
You can activate or deactivate the cooker hood by
operating the functions shown in the diagram.
Switch on the extractor fan a few minutes before you
start to cook in order to ensure that a steady air flow
has been established before fumes appear.
Allow the extractor fan to run for several minutes after
you have finished cooking (between 3 to 5 minutes) in
order to expel all the grease from the outlet duct. This
prevents the return of grease, smoke and smells.
