Recommendations and suggestions
EN
• The Instructions for Use apply to several versions
of this appliance. A ccordingly, you may find descrip-
tions of individual features that do not apply to your
specific appliance.
• The manufacturer will not be held liable for any dam-
ages resulting from incorrect or improper installation.
• The minimum safety distance between the cooker
top and the extractor hood is 650 mm (some models
can be installed at a lower height, please refer to the
paragraphs on working dimensions and installation).
• Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that
indicated on the rating plate fixed to the inside of
the hood.
• For Class I appliances, check that the domestic
power supply guarantees adequate earthing.
• Connect the extractor to the exhaust flue through
a pipe of minimum diameter 120 mm. The route of
the flue must be as short as possible.
• Do not connect the extractor hood to exhaust ducts
carrying c ombustion f umes ( boilers, fi replaces, e tc.).
• If the extractor is used in conjunction with non-elec-
trical appliances (e.g. gas burning appliances), a
sufficient degree of aeration must be guaranteed
in the room in order to prevent the backflow of
exhaust gas. The kitchen must have an opening
communicating directly with the open air in order to
guarantee the entry of clean air. When the cooker
hood is used in conjunction with appliances sup-
plied 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.
• In the event of damage to the power cable, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer or by the technical
service department, in order to prevent any risks.
• Connect the hood to the mains through a two-pole
switch having a contact gap of at least 3 mm.
• If the instructions for installation for the gas hob
specify a greater distance specified above, this has
to be taken into account. Regulations concerning
the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.
Use
• The extractor hood has been designed exclusively
for domestic use to eliminate kitchen smells.
• Never use the hood for purposes other than for
