Make sure the supply voltage ratings correspond with those stated on the appliance data plate.
Note A damaged power supply cord must be changed by the Service.
Attention: if the appliance is not provided with a plug or cannot be easily connected to a wall socket, then
the electrical circuit must incorporate a circuit breaker having at least a 3 mm separation between contacts.
Attention: This appliance must be connected to a system equipped with earth or ground plate. The
manufacturers decline responsibility for problems caused by failure to observe this rule. The wires in the
supply cord are colored as follows:
green/yellow = ground blue = neutral brown = line
Using the cooker hood
The cooker hood should be switched on either before or at the same as cooking or frying commences. The
grease and carbon filters are more effective if the fan is not switched off immediately after cooking or frying
is completed, but only after a period of some 20-30 minutes.
User instructions
Switch on the hood when you start cooking. When you finish wait 20-30 minutes before switching it off
in order to keep the filters operating efficiently. The hood is fitted with a slider with four switches and
one display (Pict. 3):
A - General switchB - Light switch
C - Speed decrease switchD - Speed increase switch
E - Display
When the hood is first switched on it runs through a phase of reset and self-cheking: the display will
switch on all its segments. At the end of this phase a stand-by stage will be reached: motor and lamps
will be switched off and the display will show its lower segmet.
- Switch on the hood by pressing A: the motor will not rund and the display will show 0. You will set
the motor in motion by pressing D: the display will shows 1. |
