[. . . ] 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. The hood must be regularly cleaned on both the inside and outside (AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH, it is in any event necessary to proceed in accordance with the maintenance instructions provided in this manual). Failure to follow the instructions as concerns hood and filter cleaning will lead to the risk of fires. Do not use or leave the hood without the lamp correctly mounted because of the possible risk of electric shocks. [. . . ] If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to. The mains power supply must correspond to the rating indicated on the plate situated inside the hood. 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. 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. 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.

Otherwise put a thick, protective covering over countertop, cooktop or range to protect from damage and debris. Cover that surface with a protective covering and place all canopy hood parts and hardware in it. Disconnect the hood during electrical connection, by turning the home mains switch off. In addition check whether near the installation area of the hood (in the area accessible also with the hood mounted) an electric socket is available and it is possible to connect a fumes discharge device to the outside (only suction version). Carry out electrical connections (8), but leave the hood disconnected from the general electrical main panel. Make sure that the carbon filter is already mounted on the back of the grease filter, or in case it's missing, buy it and install it. 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. Expansion wall plugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of walls/ceilings. However, a qualified technician must verify suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of wall/ceiling. The wall/ceiling must be strong enough to take the weight of the hood. [. . . ] The rods are included in the carbon filter packing and not on the hood. Using a flat head screwdriver or equivalent tool, carefully pry loose the light cover. Remove the damaged light and replace with a new 12 Volt, 20 Watt (Maximum) halogen light made for a G-4 base SUITABLE FOR USE IN OPEN LUMINAIRES. If the lights do not work, make sure that the lamps are fitted properly into their housings before you call for technical assistance. [. . . ]
