Part 2 - USE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1 - SAFETY WARNINGS
It is most important that all the warnings shown in paragraph 3 of part 1 are strictly
observed. Moreover, special attention must be paid to the following warnings during
the use and maintenance of the cooker hood:
1.1 - The grease filters and the charcoal filters should be cleaned or replaced as recommended
by the manufacturer or more frequently if the hood is used consistently (more than 4
hours per day).
1.2 - When using a gas hob in connection with the cooker hood never leave the burners of
the hob uncovered while the hood is in use or when the pans have been removed.
Switch off the gas before removing the pan or for just short periods and never leave
the hob unattended.
1.3 - Always ensure that the appliance is kept at the correct intensity to prevent the flame
from licking round from the bottom of the pan; this will save energy and will avoid a
dangerous concentration of heat.
1.4 - Always ensure that the appliance is used in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions for the removal of contaminated odours during cooking.
2 - USE

A microswitch operated by the movement of the visor controls the functioning of the
appliance in the previously selected conditions.
3 - MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance and cleaning will ensure good performance and reliability, while
extending the working life of the hood. Special attentions should be paid to the grease
filters and to the charcoal filters when the hood is used in the recirculation mode.
