Warning: This hood is designed for domestic use only.
When used in the extraction mode the cooker hood ducting must not be connected to a
flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances supplied with energy other than
electric, such as a central heating flue or a water heater flue.
If the room where the cooker hood is to be used contains a fuel burning appliance such as
a central heating boiler, then its flue must be of the room sealed or balanced flue type. If
other types of flue or appliances are fitted, ensure there is adequate ventilation in the
room.
All installations must comply with local authority requirements for the discharge of exhaust
air.
