d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.
WARNING – TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A WORK TOP
GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CA-
REFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.
b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be burned.
c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.
d) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
1) You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
2) The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
3) The fire department is being called.
4) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
THECNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The technical specifications of the appliance are shown on the rating plates located inside the range hood.
INSTALLATION
The distance between the work-top and the lowest part of the rangehood is normally at least 25" 19/32,
if installed on induction work top, or 29" 17/32 if installed on gas work top (Pic. 2). This distance is measu-
resd in the lowest part of the rangehood not operating at safety voltage. If the instructions for installation
for the gas work top specifies a greater distance, this has to be taken into account. In the outside exhaust
version, the diameter of the fume discharge duct must be no smaller than the range hood connection. In
the horizontal sections, the duct must slope slightly (around 10%) upwards, so as to better convey the air
outside of the room. Avoid using angled pipes, make sure that the pipes are at least of the minimum length.
Comply with the current regulations on air discharge into the atmosphere. If a boiler, stove, fireplace, etc.
that uses gas or other fuels is being used at the same time, make sure the room where the fumes are ex-
tracted is well ventilated, in compliance with the current regulations.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before doing any work inside the range hood, disconnect the appliance from the main power supply. Check
that the wires inside the range hood are not disconnected or cut; if this is the case, contact your service
centre. The electrical connections must be performed by qualified personnel. The connections must be per-
formed in compliance with the legal standards in force. Check that the relief valve and the electrical system
are able to support the load of the appliance (see label inside the product). Some types of appliances are
supplied with a cable without plug; in this case, "standardised" plugs must be used, keeping in mind that:
- the yellow-green wire must be used for the earth,
- the blue wire must be used for the neutral,
- the brown wire must be used for the phase; the cable must not come into contact with hot parts (over
70°C).
- fit a plug that is suitable for the load to the power cable, and connect it to a suitable power outlet.
For appliances that come supplied with cable and plug please ensure they are plugged into a circuit suita-
ble for this appliance. Please refer to a qualifed person. The manufacturer declines all liability if the safety
standards are not observed.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short-circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded.
WARNING — Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if
the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance
is properly grounded. Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician install an outlet near the appliance.
INSTALLATION IN EXHAUST MODE
In this version, the fumes and steam from the kitchen are conveyed outside through an exhaust duct.
The exhaust conveyor that protrudes from the upper part of the range hood must be connected to a duct
that carries the fumes and steam outside. In this version, the charcoal filter, if fitted, should be removed.
There must be adequate ventilation of the room when the range hood is used at the same time as applian-
ces burning gas or other fuels, according to the standard.
INSTALLATION IN RECIRCULATING MODE
In this version, the air passes through charcoal filter for purification, and is then recirculated back into the
