• Do not leave an open flame under the hood. When the
pots are removed from the burner, set the minimum flame.
Always make sure that the flame does not extend outside
the pot, because it causes unwanted loss of energy and
a dangerous concentration of heat.
• When cooking on fat, supervise the pans constantly, be-
cause overheated fat can ignite.
• Unplug the appliance before any cleaning, replacing the
filter or repair work.
• Cooker hood grease filter should be cleaned at least once
a month, because the filter saturated with fat is flamma-
ble.
• Ensure adequate ventilation (air flow) if other equipment
such as liquid fuel stoves or heaters are operated in the
room in addition the cooker hood. When the cooker hood
is simultaneously operated with burning appliances re-
quiring adequate fresh air from the room to work properly,
their safe operation is possible if under pressure around
these appliances is a maximum of 0.004 mbar (this does
not apply when the cooker hood is used as an odour fil-
ter)
• Do not lean on the hood.
• The hood should be cleaned regularly both inside and
out (AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH, following the indica-
tions concerning maintenance provided in this manual)..
Failure to adhere to the rules concerning cleaning the
hood and replacing filters results in a fire risk.

specialised service centre.
