[. . . ] The flaming of foods beneath the hood itself is severely prohibited. The use of exposed flames is detrimental to the filters and may cause a fire risk, and must therefore be avoided in all circumstances. Any frying must be done with care in order to make sure that the oil does not overheat and burst into flames. As regards the technical and safety measures to be adopted for fume discharging it is important to closely follow the relations provided by the competent authorities. [. . . ] If provided with a plug connect the hood to a socket in compliance with current regulations and positioned in an accessible area. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not located in an accessible area apply a bi-polar switch in accordance with standards which assures the complete disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to overcurrent category III, in accordance with installation instructions. Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains supply and checking the efficient function, always check that the mains cable is correctly assembled. Mounting Before beginning installation: Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the chosen installation area. · To facilitate installation, remove the fat filters and the other parts allowed and described here, dismantle and mount it. To remove see also the relative paragraphs. · Remove the active carbon (*) filter/s if supplied (see also relative paragraph). This/these is/are to be mounted only if you want lo use the hood in the filtering version. · Check (for transport reasons) that there is no other supplied material inside the hood (e. g. packets with screws (*), guarantees (*), etc. ), eventually removing them and keeping them. · If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to rear wall/ceiling. Otherwise put a thick, protective covering over countertop, cooktop or range to protect from damage and debris. Fix the chimney support bracket to the wall using two 5x45mm screws. Fix the hood into its final position on the wall (ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL). Connect a pipe (pipe and pipe clamps not provided, to be purchased separately) for discharge of fumes to the connection ring located over the suction motor unit. If the hood is to be used in ducting version, the other end of the pipe must be connected to a device expelling the fumes to the outside. If the hood is to be used in filter version, then fix the deflector F to the chimney support bracket G and connect the other extremity of the pipe to the connection ring placed on the deflector F. Apply the chimney stacks and fasten them at the top to the chimney support G (17b) using 2 screws (17a) 18. Slide the bottom section of the chimney down until it completely covers the suction unit and slots into the housing provided on top of the hood. Remount the carbon filter frame and the fat/s filter/s and check the perfect functioning of the hood. 10 Description of the hood Fig. Air outlet (used for filter version only) Grease filter Operation Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen vapours. It is recommended that the cooker hood suction is switched on for 5 minutes prior to cooking and to leave in operation during cooking and for another 15 minutes approximately after terminating cooking. Traps cooking grease particles. This must be cleaned once a month (or when the filter saturation indication system ­ if envisaged on the model in possession ­ indicates this necessity) using non aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle. [. . . ] Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are cooled down. Using a flat head screwdriver or equivalent tool, carefully pry loose the light cover.
