INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Safety
The safety requirements of this hood conform to recognised technical regulations and to
the safety laws governing the appliance. However, as manufacturer of the hood, our
company considers it advisable to provide the following customer safety information.
Electrical safety
• Where the hood is to be permanently connected to the electrical supply, the electrical
installation must be carried out exclusively by an authorised electrician. This warning
should be strictly adhered to ensure the validity of the guarantee.
• Repairs should be carried out exclusively by specialised technicians. Poor workmanship
and inadequately carried out repairs can be extremely dangerous. We recommend you
contact our Customer Services or your usual dealer for all repair work.
Safety during use
• Overheating may cause the hood to ignite.
We therefore recommend that you observe the following warnings:
- never do flambé cooking under the hood.
- lit burners should always be covered when the hood is in use. In the case of gas oil, gas
and coal cookers, naked flames must be avoided at all times.
- never leave frying pans unattended during use: overheated fats and oils ignite easily.
The danger of ignition is particularly high if the oil is dirty.
• Before carrying out any kind of work on the hood, even the simple replacement of a
bulb, the apparatus must be isolated from the electrical supply (pull out the plug, remove
the fuse from the fuse box or switch off at the mains).
• Always adhere to the recommended cleaning or filter replacement intervals to avoid the
risk of fire when the filters are saturated with grease.
Safety during cleaning
For safety reasons it is not permitted to clean the hood with steam spray or high pressure
devices.
Disposal
Disposal of the packaging
• All parts of the packaging are recyclable. The plastic film wrapping and the foam plastic
items are clearly marked. The packaging material and any used equipment should be
disposed of correctly.
• Respect the national and regional regulations and the markings on the materials
(separation of the materials, differentiated collection, collection points for recyclable
materials).
Warnings on disposal
• The hood should not be disposed of with household waste.
• Information regarding collection dates or on the collection points can be requested from
the local refuse collection departments or from the town hall.
• Warning! Used appliances should be deactivated before being disposed of. The power
cable should be removed (after removing the plug or, in the case of a permanent
connection, after having the hood disconnected by a technician).
