Never connect an exhaust hood to
an active chimney, dryer vent, vent
flue, or room ventilating ductwork. Seek
professional advice before connecting
an exhaust hood vent to an existing, in-
active chimney or vent flue.
Do not place this exhaust hood
over cooktops burning solid fuel.
Never operate gas burners without
pots. Heat generated by pro-
longed operation of gas burners with-
out pots could damage the hood.
Do not use the exhaust hood with-
out the grease filters in place.
Clean the grease filters regularly.
Saturated filters are a fire hazard.
Do not use a steam cleaner to
clean the hood. The steam could
penetrate to electrical components and
cause a short circuit.
To reduce the risk of cooking fires:
– Keep the fan, filters and cooking
area clean and free of grease.
– Turn on the hood when cooking at
high temperatures.
– Heat oils slowly. Only use the high
settings of the range or cooktop
when necessary.
– Never leave a turned on range or
cooktop unattended.
– Always use cookware and utensils
that are appropriate for the type and
amount of food being prepared.
Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother any fire or flame, or use a
dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
When connecting the hood to an ex-
ternal vent, make sure that there is
adequate ventilation in the room
where the exhaust hood is to be
used.
When using the hood in the same area
as other appliances requiring room air
(e.g. non-electric water heaters, gas
cooktops, gas ovens, etc.) make cer-
tain that the air extracted by the hood
does not hinder their operation. These
appliances need air for combustion.
Adequate ventilation can be main-
tained by installing air vents in windows
or walls or by ensuring that the hood
can only be turned on when the other
appliances are off, or vice versa.
To prevent combustion gases being
drawn back into the room by the ex-
haust hood, the underpressure in the
room must be no greater than 6 psi
(0,04 mbar) when the hood and these
appliances are running simultaneously.
If there are any doubts as to whether
there is adequate ventilation, consult
an experienced professional.
The above ventilation restrictions
and warnings do not apply if the ex-
haust hood is retrofitted with an air
recirculation kit.
