Safety warnings
For the user
• The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours from the kitchen, it will not extract steam. • Always cover lighted elements, to prevent excess heat from damaging the appliance. In the case of oil, gas and coal fired cookers it is essential to avoid open flames. • Also, when frying, keep the deep frying pan on the cooker top/cooker under careful control. • The hot oil in the frying pan might ignite due to overheating. • The risk of self-ignition increases when the oil being used is dirty. • It is extremely important to note that overheating can cause a fire. • Never carry out any flambé cooking under the hood. • Always disconnect the unit from the power supply before carrying out any work on the hood, including replacing the light bulb (take the cartridge fuse out of the fuse holder or switch off the automatic circuit breaker). • It is very important to clean the hood and replace the filter at the recommended intervals. Failure to do so could cause grease deposits to build up, resulting in a fire hazard. • The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. • Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. • WARNING - Ensure that the appliance is switched off before replacing the lamp to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

For the installer
• When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a 150mm diameter hose. • When installing the hood, make sure you respect the following minimum distance from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring surfaces: electric cookers 500 mm gas cookers 650 mm coal and oil cookers 700 mm min. The hood can be installed above these heights but for optimum performance it should be installed at the distance quoted for the appropriate heat source. • The national Standard on fuel-burning systems specifies a maximum depression of 0.04 mbar in such rooms. • The air outlet must not be connected to chimney flues or combustion gas ducts. 3
