RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
Using your new Cooker Hood is very simple. Nevertheless, to get the best results it is important
that you read this manual thoroughly before installing and using your appliance for the first time.
INSTALLATION
• All installation and repairs should be carried out by a qualified
technician in accordance to regulations in force.
• The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damage resulting
from incorrect or improper installation.
• After having removed the packaging, check the condition of the
appliance, if in any doubt, do not use and contact Hotpoint Service
(see Key Contacts, back page).
• The minimum safety distance between the hob and the extractor
hood is 650 mm.
• Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the
rating plate fixed to the inside of the hood.
• Connect the extractor to the exhaust flue through a pipe of minimum
diameter 120 mm. The route of the flue must be as short as possible.
• Do not connect the extractor hood to exhaust ducts carrying
combustion fumes (boilers, fireplaces, etc.).
• If the extractor is used in conjunction with non-electrical appliances
(e.g. gas burning appliances), a sufficient degree of ventilation
must be guaranteed in the room in order to prevent the backflow of
exhaust gas. The kitchen must have a suitable vent to the outside
of the building, so that clear fresh air can circulate through the
kitchen.
USE
• The extractor hood has been designed exclusively for domestic use
to eliminate kitchen smells.
• Never use the hood for purposes other than for which it has ben
designed.
• Never leave high naked flames under the hood when it is in
operation.
• Adjust the flame intensity to direct it onto the bottom of the pan
only, making sure that it does not engulf the sides.
• Deep fat fryers must be continuously monitored during use:
overheated oil can burst into flames.
• When frying, never leave the pan unattended.
• The hood should not be used by children or persons not instructed
in its correct use.
MAINTENANCE
• Switch off and unplug the appliance from the mains supply before
carrying out any cleaning or maintenance work.
• Clean regularly (see Care and Cleaning section), build up of dirt
and grease could cause a fire hazard.
