Never operate the extractor hood without
a grease filter.

tended. Overheated fat or oil can easily
catch fire.
Do not flambé food directly under the ex-
tractor hood. The flames pose the risk of
the grease filter catching fire.( see page 8
Maintenance and cleaning)
Restrictions apply to the use of the ex-
tractor hood over a solid fuel or gas
stove. (See Preparing for installation on
page 3).
Switch off the power at the mains in the
event of a fault or when cleaning the ex-
tractor hood

Electrical connection.
Safety advice.
The extractor hood uses a 220-
250V/50Hz power supply.
If the mains power cord is damaged, it
must be replaced by a qualified electri-
cian.
The power cord is located in the chimney
area. Should you require an installation
with no visible wiring, a 15 amp earthed
plug socket should be accessible either in
the ceiling above the extractor hood or on
the wall behind the chimney area.
(A qualified electrician should provide
this facility).
The extractor hood must be earthed.
The manufacturer and the seller do
not accept responsibility for any dam-
age due to incorrect electrical connec-
tion.
This extractor hood may not be used
with a battery inverter power supply.
Before use.
This extractor hood complies with all
relevant safety regulations.
The extractor hood is not intended for use
by young children or infirm persons with-
out supervision.
Before using your new extractor hood for
the first time, please read this manual care-
fully. It contains important information con-
cerning your personal safety as well as on
the use and care of the extractor hood.
Remove all packaging (except the protec-
tive film on the two chimney sections)
and dispose of it in an environmentally
friendly manner.
If the extractor hood is damaged in any
way, do not use it. Report the damage to
your dealer, who will take the necessary
corrective action. (Refer to Owner’s re-
sponsibility on page 9 of this manual).
Description.
The extractor hood fan extracts the
kitchen vapours and passes them through
the grease filter.
The grease filter absorbs the solid parti-
cles in the cooking vapours, keeping the
kitchen almost free of grease.
