1 - SAFETY WARNINGS
1.1 - 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 water heating flue.
1.2 - Before connecting to the mains supply ensure that the mains voltage corresponds with the volt-
age on the rating plate inside the hood.
1.3 - Connect the cooker hood to the mains via a bipolar switch which has 3mm clearance between
the contacts.
1.4 - For cooker hoods featuring an earth cable, make sure the electric plant of your house is cor-
rectly earthed.
1.5 - Appliance in class II are provided with a double insulation; therefore do not connect then
through earthed plugs but through simple bipolar plugs.
1.6 - When installed, the hood must be positioned at least 65cm above the hotplate.
1.7 - Never do flambé cooking under this cooker hood.
1.8 - Never leave frying pans unattended during use as overheated fat and oil may catch fire.
1.9 - Before carrying out any kind of maintenance or cleaning, disconnect the hood from the mains
supply.
1.10- If the room where the cooker hood is to be used contains a fuel burning appliance such as a cen-
tral heating boiler then this must be of the room sealed or balanced flue type. If other types of
flue or appliance are fitted, ensure that there is an adequate supply of air into the room. When
the cooker hood is used in conjunction with appliances supplied with energy other than electric,
the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0,04 mbar to prevent fumes being drawn
back into the room by the cooker hood.
1.11- The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.
1.12- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from
the manufacturer or its service agent.
