Installation

  • This appliance is to be properly installed and earthed only by a suitably qualified person.

  • Follow the local laws applicable for external air evacuation.

  • The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damages resulting from incorrect or improper installation.

  • The minimum safety distance between the cooker top and the range hood is 650 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.

  • Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate fixed to the inside of the range hood.

  • Check that the domestic power supply guarantees adequate earthing.

  • Connect the range hood to the exhaust flue through a pipe of minimum diameter 150 mm. The route of the flue must be as short as possible.

  • Do not connect the range hood to exhaust ducts carrying combustion flumes (boilers, fireplaces, etc.).

  • If the range hood is used in conjunction with non-electrical 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 range hood is used in conjunction with appliances supplied 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 range hood.

  • Children may put packaging material over their heads or wrap themselves up in it and suffocate. Keep packaging material away from children. Do not let children play with packaging material.

  • Children may breathe in or swallow small parts, causing them to suffocate. Keep small parts away from children. Do not let children play with small parts.

  • The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.

  • Do not install the range hood near a heat producing appliance for solid fuel (e.g.wood or coal) unless a closed, nonremovable cover is available. There must be no flying sparks.

  • Observe 'INSTALLATION' when installing the appliance.
