In some models the rear hole duct is not easily accessible, even when the tap (if mounted) is removed, in this case remove the plastic piece E1 or E2 that is blocking the hole duct, by unwinding using pliers and cutter. check that the filter/ suction selector (inside the cooker hood) G is in the suction (A) position. In the case where it is not possible to discharge the cooking fumes externally, the cooker hood may be used in the filter version by fixing a carbon filter, the fumes and vapours are recycled via the anterior grill placed above the control panel. check that the suction/filter selector is in the filter (F) position. The models provided without suction motor may function only in the suction version and must be connected to a peripheral suction unit (not supplied). Do not fix chimney flue to furniture or fly over shelves unless the chimney flue can be easily removed, in case maintenance is ever required. The cooker hood must be placed at a minimum distance of 60 cm from the cooking plane for electric cookers and 75cm for gas or mixed cookers. Connect the electrical plug, where provided, to the an easily accessible outlet in conformity with local standards in force. Where an electrical plug is not provided (for direct connection to electrical network) place a standards approved bipolar switch with an aperture distance of not less than 3mm (accessible) from the contacts. Use the highest speed for situations of high level vapour concentration in cooking. It is advisable to switch on the suction at least 5 minutes prior to cooking and leave it in operation for 15 minutes approximately after cooking is terminated. Children should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the appliance. Do not use the cooker hood where the grill is not correctly fixed!The suctioned air must not be conveyed in the same channel used for fumes discharged by appliances powered by other than electricity. The environment must always be adequately aerated when the cooker hood and other appliances powered by other than electricity are used at the same time. [. . . ] flambé cooking with a cooker hood is prohibited. The use of a free flame is damaging to the filters and may cause fire accidents, therefore free flame cooking must be avoided.
