5 PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IF REPAIRS ARE TO BE CARRIED

OUT

Repairs, including the replacement of the feed cable if necessary, are to be carried out only by

qualified personnel, using standard methods, instruments and materials. Any repairs carried

out by others could prove to be dangerous and could be a fire risk.

6 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE and PRECAUTIONS

Before using for the first time, ensure that all the points in the previous paragraphs have been

complied with. MOREOVER remember:

• The hood is not proper for the use of children and people with reduced mental,

physical and sensorial capacities unless they have been trained on purpose by the

person responsible for their security. Children should be supervised to guarantee

that they do not play with the hood.

• not to cook “flambé” dishes, avoid flames directly underneath the hood;

• to avoid leaving on any hot plates which generate strong free flames underneath the

hood;

• to avoid any strong flames being issued from under saucepans at the sides;

• when frying, not to allow oil to splash or overheat in the pan, as this is a fire risk;

• before any cleaning or maintenance operation, disconnect the hood from the main

supply, by means of the main switch or the bipolar switch or by removing the plug;

• if other gas equipment or equipment which consumes oxygen from the environment

is used, ventilation must be sufficient. For safe ventilation, maximum depression in

the room should not exceed 4 Pa (0,04 mbar) and there must be a hole on the

outside facing wall (suitably positioned and dimensioned);

• never use the hood without the grease filters;

• keep the grease filters clean, taking into account the recommended cleaning

suggestions;

• replace the carbon filters (if the hood is used as a filtering hood), as indicated;

• turn on the hood motor before you start cooking;

• turn off the hood motor about 10 minutes after you have finished cooking;

• do not use the hood to suction gas, fumes, vapours or other substances different

from the normal fumes in the kitchen.
