the power cable off close to the appliance.
Do not modify or attempt to modify any feature of this appliance, as this is
very hazardous.
- ATTENTION: This appliance must be grounded.
- Verify that the voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the
manufacturer’s plate located inside the hood(see technical features). If the
appliance is connected directly to the house wiring insert an all-pole switch at

risk of filter damage and fire.

recommendations for frequency of hood cleaning and filter replacement in
accordance with the instructions in this user manual. Failure to follow these
instructions may lead to fire risk due to accumulation of grease in the filter.
