WARNING -------------------------------------------------------The distance between the supporting surface for the cooking vessels on the hob and the lower part of the hood must be at least 65 cm. If the instructions for installation for the hob specify a greater distance, this has to be taken into account. For installation over a gas range or gas cooking hob a different specific minimum height requirement may be required by the relevant gas authorities. The air collected must not be conveyed into a duct used to blow off smokes from appliances fed with an energy other than electricity (central heating systems, thermosiphons, water-heaters, etc.). Comply with the official instructions provided by the competent authorities in merit when installing the disposal duct. In addition, exhaust air should not be discharged into a wall cavity, unless the cavity is designed for that purpose. The room must be well aerated in case a hood and some other heat equipment fed with an energy other than electricity (gas, oil, coal heaters, etc) operate at the same time. In fact the intake hood, disposing of air, could create a vacuum in the room. The vacuum should not exceed 0,04mbar. This prevents the gas exhausted by the heat source from being intaken again. It is therefore advisable to ensure the room contains air taps able to ensure a steady flow of fresh air. This appliance has such technical particulars that it belongs to class II insulation, therefore it must not be earthed. 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. When making the electrical connections, check that the voltage values correspond to those indicated on the data plate inside the appliance itself. In case your appliance

is not furnished with a non separating flexible cable and has no plug, or has not got any other device ensuring omnipolar disconnection from the electricity main, with a contact opening distance of at least 3mm, such separating device ensuring disconnection from the main must be included in the fixed installation. If your unit features a power lead and plug, position this so the plug is accessible. Always switch off the electricity supply before carrying out any cleaning or servicing operations on the appliance.

USE -------------------------------------------------------Avoid using materials which could cause spurts of flame (flambées) near the appliance. When frying, take particular care to prevent oil and grease from catching fire. Already used oil is especially dangerous in this respect. Do not use uncovered electric grates. To avoid possible risks of fire always comply with the indicated instructions when cleaning anti-grease filters and when removing grease deposits from the appliance.

MAINTENANCE -------------------------------------------------------Thorough servicing guarantees correct and long-lasting operation. Any fat deposits should be removed from the appliance periodically depending on amount of use (at least every 2 months). Avoid using abrasive or corrosive products. To clean painted appliances on the outside, use a cloth dipped in lukewarm water and neutral detergent. To clean steel, copper or brass appliances on the outside, it is always best to use specific products, following the instructions on the products themselves. To clean the inside of the appliance, use a cloth (or brush) dipped in denatured ethyl alcohol. WARNING - Ensure that the appliance is switched off before replacing light globes to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
