Safety warnings
• When used as an extractor unit, the hood
must be fitted with a hose having preferably
the same diameter as the outlet hole.
Should there already be a pipe of diameter
125 mm that ducts to the outside through the
walls or roof, it is possible to use the 150/125
mm reduction flange provided. In this case
the hood will be slightly noisier.
Attention: The hose is not supplied and must
be purchased separately.
• The minimum distance between the
supporting surface for the cooking vessels on
the hob and the lowest part of the range hood
must be not less than 50cm from electric
cookers and 65cm from gas or mixed
cookers.
If the instructions for installation for the gas
hob specify a greater distance, this must be
adhered to.

operation, disconnect the hood from the
mains by removing the plug or disconnecting
the home mains switch.
