SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
AND WARNINGS
Installation operations are to be carried
out by skilled and qualified installers in ac-
cordance with the instructions in this booklet and
in compliance with the regulations in force.
DO NOT use the hood if the power supply cable
or other components are damaged: disconnect
the hood from the electrical power supply and con-
tact the Dealer or an authorised Servicing Dealer for
repairs.
Do not modify the electrical, mechanical or func-
tional structure of the equipment.
Do not personally try to carry out repairs or re-
placements. Interventions carried out by incompe-
tent and unauthorised persons can cause serious
damage to the unit or physical and personal harm,
not covered by the Manufacturer's warranty.
WARNINGS FOR THE INSTALLER
TECHNICAL SAFETY
Before installing the hood, check the in-
tegrity and function of each part. Should
anomalies be noted, do not proceed with instal-
lation and contact the Dealer.
Do NOT install the hood if an aesthetic (or cos-
metic) defect has been detected. Put it back into
its original package and contact the dealer.
No claim can be made for aesthetic (or cosmetic)
defects once it has been installed.
During installation, always use personal protective
equipment (e.g.: Safety shoes) and adopt prudent
and proper conduct.
The installation kit (screws and plugs) supplied with
the hood is only to be used on masonry walls: in case
of installation on walls of a different material, assess
other installation options keeping in mind the type
of wall surface and the weight of the hood (indicated
on page 2).
Keep in mind that installations with different types of
fastening systems from those supplied, or which are
not compliant, can cause electrical and mechanical
seal danger.
Do not install the hood outdoors and do not expose
it to atmospheric elements (rain, wind, etc.).
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The electrical system to which the hood is to
be connected must be in accordance with
local standards and supplied with earthed connec-
tion in compliance with safety regulations in the
country of use. It must also comply with European
standards regarding radio antistatic properties.
Before installing the hood, check that the electrical
mains power supply corresponds with what is report-
ed on the identification plate located inside the hood.
The socket used to connect the installed equipment
to the electrical power supply must be within reach:
otherwise, install a mains switch to disconnect the
hood when required.
Any changes to the electrical system must be carried
out by a qualified electrician.
The maximum length of the flue fastening screws
(supplied by the manufacturer) must be 13 mm. Use
of non-compliant screws with these instructions can
lead to danger of an electrical nature.
Do not try to solve the problem yourself in the event
of equipment malfunction, but contact the Dealer or
an authorised Servicing Department for repairs.
When installing the hood, disconnect
the equipment by removing the plug or
switching off the main switch.
FUMES DISCHARGE SAFETY
Do no connect the equipment to discharge
pipes of fumes produced from combustion
(for example boilers, fireplaces, etc.).
Before installing the hood, ensure that all standards in
force regarding discharge of air out of the room have
been complied with.
Deviation for Australia and New Zeland: Range hoods
and other cooking fume extractors may adversely
affect the safe operation of appliances burning gas
or other fuels (including those in other rooms) due
to back flow of combustion gases. These gases can
potentially result in carbon monoxide poisoning.
After installation 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.
(AS/NZS 60335.2.31:2013/A4:2020).
