Extraction systems
Depending on the type, the cooker hood can be connected in one of two ways:
■ To a duct.
To a duct, the cooking vapours extracted by suction are carried outside, once
the grease particles have been filtered. This is the best method. The cooker
hood is connected to the duct at the top using the outlet flange supplied.
■ Recirculation hood.
As a recirculation hood, the grease particles and the smell in the extracted
vapours are filtered. The extracted air is not expelled but circulates back into
the kitchen via grills in the upper side of the hood. In this case, you must fit a
carbon filter.

Precautions you must take
■ Have the appliance connected by a qualified fitter (see section "Installation").
■ The power supply must be disconnected before the appliance is cleaned or
repaired. Remove the plug from the socket or switch the electricity off at the
mains.
■ When cooking, the hob becomes hot, children should always be kept at a
distance.
■ Fats and oils become inflammable on overheating. Never leave such foods
unattended during preparation.
■ We advise you to switch the cooker hood on before you start cooking. Leave
the cooker hood on for another 5 minutes or so after you have finished
cooking.
■ A grease-saturated filter mat is inflammable, so never flambé under the
cooker hood, and clean the filter regularly.
■ Switch off the electricity before replacing the light bulbs! Only use the same
sort of light bulbs with the same Wattage.
■ In view of possible sharp edges on the chimney we advise you to wear
working gloves when fitting the chimney.
