IMPORTANT SAFETY ADVICE AND PRECAUTIONS
• Always disconnect the hood before carrying out cleaning or mainte-
nance.
• Never use steam or high-pressure tools to clean your appliance (due
to electrical safety considerations).
Risk of asphyxiation
• Regulations on the evacuation of air must be complied with. Air must
not be sent into a duct used to evacuate fumes from appliances that
use gas or other fuels (this does not apply to appliances that only
emit air into the room).
• The room must be suitably ventilated when the cooker hood is used
at the same time as appliances that use gas or other fuels (this does
not apply to appliances that only emit air into the room).
Risk of fire
• Flambé-ing food or turning on gas rings below the hood, unless they
are covered by a pan is prohibited, since the flames could be sucked
in and damage the appliance.
• Keep a constant watch on fryers used below the hood. When heated
to very high temperatures, oil and fat can catch fire.
• Clean the appliance and replace filters at the recommended fre-
quency. Accumulated deposits of grease could cause a fire.
• Using the hood above a solid fuel range (wood, coal, etc.) is prohi-
bited.
• If the hood is installed above a gas-fired appliance, leave at least
65 cm between the top of the hob and the underside of the hood. If
the instructions for a hob installed below the hood specify a distance
greater than 65 cm, then that distance must be applied.
