User Manual

• The minimum distance between the surface of the hob and the lowest

part of the hood should be at least 65cm. A distance of between 65cm

and 75cm gives peak efficiency.

• The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting

fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.

• When the hood is vented externally and used with appliances which

burn fuel (e.g. gas, oil, wood) the area must be sufficiently ventilated to

ensure safe operation. Fresh air must be allowed to freely enter the

room to prevent a partial vacuum.

• A partial vacuum can starve the heating appliance of oxygen, impairing

combustion. It can also prevent toxic fumes from leaving the room, or

can cause fumes to be sucked into the room from outside.

• Safe operation is only possible when the partial vacuum within the

working area does not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar). This can be achieved

by ensuring air is able to enter the room from outside through a suitable

sized opening which cannot be sealed during operation. A number of

alternative solutions are available to ensure this. If in any doubt,

professional advice should be sought.

• Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.

• There is a potential fire risk if cleaning is not carried out in accordance

with the instructions.

• Clean your appliance periodically by following the method given in the

chapter MAINTENANCE

• If used in recirculation mode, the charcoal filters trap odours and must

be replaced at least once a year depending on how frequently the

cooker hood has been used.

• For safety reason, please use only the same size of fixing or mounting

screw, which are recommended in this instruction manual.

• Warning: Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance

with these instructions may result in electrical hazards

CAUTION: Accessible parts of the hood can become very hot during

use with cooking appliances, whether in use or not, due to heat rising

from the hob. Sufficient time should be allowed for the unit to cool

before touching either the housing or the grease filters.
