SAFETY INFORMATION

For your safety and correct operation of the appliance, read this manual carefully before installation and use. Always keep these instructions with the appliance even if you move or sell it. Users must fully know the operation and safety features of the appliance. The wire connection has to be done by specialized technician. The motor earth connection shall be performed before the connections of the neutral and phase conductors. In case of replacement, the neutral and phase connec-tions shall be disconnected before the earth connection. The installation of the hood and the remote motor must be carried out by specialized personnel.

• 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 extractor hood is 650 mm (some models can be installed at a lower height, please refer to the paragraphs on working dimensions and installation).
• If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be respected.
• Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate fixed to the inside of the hood.
• Means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.
• 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 150 mm. The route of the flue must be as short as possible.
• Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.
• Do not connect the extractor hood to exhaust ducts car-rying combustion fumes (boilers, fireplaces, etc.).
• If the extractor is used in conjunction with non-electrical appliances (e.g. gas burning appliances), a sufficient de-gree of aeration must be guaranteed in the room in order to prevent the backflow of exhaust gas. When the cooker 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 cooker hood.
• The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced from the manufacturer or its service agent.
• Connect the plug to a socket complying with current regu-lations, located in an accessible place.
• With regards to the technical and safety measures to be adopted for fume discharging it is important to closely follow the regulations provided by the local authorities.

WARNING: Before installing the Hood, remove the protective films.

WARNING: Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards.

• Do not look directly at the light through optical devices (binoculars, magnifying glasses…).
• Do not flambè under the range hood; risk of fire.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concern-ing use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appli-ance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• The appliance is not to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capa-bilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction.
• Clean and/or replace the Filters after the specified time period (Fire hazard). See paragraph Care and Cleaning.
• There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the range hood is used at the same time as appliances burn-ing gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that only discharge the air back into the room).
• Range hoods and other cooking fume extractors may adversely affect the safe operation of appliances burning gas or other fuel (including those in other rooms) due to back flow of combustion gases. These gases can poten-tially result in carbon monoxide poisoning. After installa-tion of a range hood or other cooking fume extractor, the operation of flued gas appliances should be tested by a competent person to ensure that back flow of combustion gases does not occur.
• The symbol on the product or on its packaging indi-cates that this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and elec-tronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product. For more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact your lo-cal city office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.
• Select a location which avoids causing a nuisance to neighbours from noise and air emissions from device.
• Be aware of local council rules regarding maximum allowable noise levels.

WARNING:

• Ensure the rangehood is switched off before carrying out maintenance, to avoid any possibility of electric shock.
• This rangehood is not recommended for barbecues.
• Exhaust air must not be discharged into a wall cavity, unless the cavity is designed for the purpose.
• Always cover lit gas burners with pots or pans when the rangehood is in use.
• Always switch off gas burners before you remove pots or pans.

CAUTION:

In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent reset- ting of the thermal cut-out, this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• Check that the installation complies with standards of local gas and electricity authorities.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• Ensure that the plug is accessible after installation.

ACCESSORIES

• When using flexible duct always install duct with the wire helix pulled taut to minimise pressure loss.
• Try to keep exhaust duct short and straight.
• Keep bends in the exhaust duct to a minimum.
• Do not restrict exhaust duct.
• Reducing the size of the exhaust duct will reduce the airflow of the rangehood. Please read instructions care-fully. Service calls resulting from incorrect installation will be charged for.
• Installation must comply in all respects with your gas and electrical authorities. This rangehood is an indoor domestic appliance, and has been manufactured and tested to comply with Australian and New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 60335.2.31

USE

• The extractor hood has been designed exclusively for domestic use to eliminate kitchen smells.
• Never use the hood for purposes other than for which it has been designed.
• Never leave high naked flames under the hood when it is in operation.
• Adjust the flame intensity to direct it onto the bottom of the pan only, making sure that it does not engulf the sides.
• Deep fat fryers must be continu-ously monitored during use: over-heated oil can burst into flames.
• Always switch off gas burners before removing pots or pans.

CARE AND CLEANING

• The Grease filters must be cleaned every 2 months of operation, or more frequently for particularly heavy usage, and can be washed in a dishwasher.
• Clean the hood using a damp cloth and a neutral liquid detergent.
• Wipe the rangehood body and flue with a sponge or soft cloth soaked in warm soapy water, and dry with a soft cloth, for stain-less steel models apply a stain-less steel protector. Do not use oven cleaners or other abrasive materials.
