Precautions you must take
■ Have the appliance connected by a
qualified fitter (see section "Installation").
■ The power supply must be disconnected
before the appliance is cleaned or
repaired. Remove the plug from the socket
or switch the electricity off at the mains.
■ When cooking, the hob becomes hot,
children should always be kept at a
distance.
■ Fats and oils become inflammable on
overheating. Never leave such foods
unattended during preparation.
■ We advise you to switch the cooker hood
on before you start cooking. Leave the
cooker hood on for another 5 minutes or so
after you have finished cooking.
■ A grease-saturated filter mat is
inflammable, so never flambé under the
cooker hood, and clean the filter regularly.
■ Switch off the electricity before replacing
the light bulbs! Only use the same sort of
light bulbs with the same Wattage.
■ In view of possible sharp edges on the
chimney we advise you to wear working
gloves when fitting the chimney.
Extraction systems
Depending on the type, the cooker hoods can
be connected in one of two ways:
■ To a duct, the cooking vapours extracted
by suction are carried outside, once the
grease particles have been filtered. This is
the best method. The cooker hood is
connected to the duct at the top using the
outlet flange supplied.
■ As a recirculation hood, the grease
particles and the smell in the extracted
vapours are filtered. The air that has been
sucked in is not carried outside but
recirculates in the kitchen, via the T-piece
(B, see fig. 3) and the grilles in the chimney
(A). In this case you must have a carbon
filter fitted.
