Thank you for buying a BORETTI product which has been manufactured to the highest quality standards to meet your requirements. We recommend you carefully read this booklet in which you will find instructions for installation, hints for use and maintenance. The Instructions for Use apply to several versions of this appliance. Accordingly, you may find descriptions of individual features that do not apply to your specific appliance. Ensure the cooker hood is fitted in compliance with the recommended fixing heights. To ensure the safe operation of this cooker hood, we recommend that the hood should not be fitted below 65cm (for electric) or (70cm for gas) the measurements taken from the surface of the cooking appliance to the underside of the cooker hood. It is a possible fire risk if the hood is not sited as recommended. To ensure the best results, the cooking fumes should be able to rise naturally towards the inlet grilles on the underside of the cooker hood and the cooker hood should be positioned away from doors and windows, which will create turbulence. Ducting If the room where the hood is to be used contains a fuel-burning appliance such as a central heating boiler then its flue must be of the room sealed or balanced flue type. If other types of flue or appliances are fitted ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh air to the room. Ensure the kitchen is fitted with an airbrick, which should have a cross-sectional measurement equivalent to the diameter of the ducting being fitted, if not larger. The ducting system for this cooker hood must not be connected to any existing ventilation system, which is being used for any other purposes or to a mechanically controlled ventilation ducting. The ducting used must be made from fire retardant materials and the correct diameter must be used, as incorrect sized ducting will affect the performance of this cooker hood. When the cooker hood is used in conjunction with other appliances supplied with energy other than electricity, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0.04 mbar to prevent the fumes from combustion being drawn back into the room. The appliance is for domestic use only and should not be operated by children or people who are infirm without supervision. This appliance must be positioned so that the wall socket is accessible. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. IMPORTANT: NEVER DO FLAMBÉ COOKING UNDER THIS COOKER HOOD Do not leave frying pans unattended during use as over-heated fat and oil might catch fire. Do not leave naked flames under this cooker hood. Switch 'OFF' the electric and gas before removing pots and pans. Ensure heating areas on your hotplate are covered with pots and pans when using the hotplate and cooker hood simultaneously. Before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning isolate the cooker hood from the mains supply. The cooker hood must be kept clean; a build up of fat or grease can be a fire hazard. Casing Wipe the cooker hood frequently with a clean cloth, which has been immersed in warm water contain- ing a mild detergent and wrung out. Never use excessive amounts of water when cleaning particularly around the control panel. Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners. Always wear protective gloves when cleaning the cooker hood. Metal Grease Filters The metal grease filters absorb grease and dust during cooking to help keep the cooker hood clean inside. The grease filters should be cleaned once a month or more frequently if the hood is used for more than 3 hours per day. To remove and replace the metal grease filters Remove the metal grease filters one at a time by releasing the catches on the filters; the filters can now be removed. The metal grease filters should be washed, by hand, in mild soapy water or in a dishwasher. Allow to dry before replacing. Active Charcoal Filter The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. The filter should be replaced at least every three months or more frequently if the hood is used for more than three hours per day. To remove and replace the filter Remove the metal grease filters. Press against the two retaining clips, which hold the charcoal filter in place and this will allow the filter to drop down and be removed. Clean the surrounding area and metal grease filters as directed above. Insert the replacement filter and ensure the two retaining clips are correctly located. Replace the metal grease filters. Extraction tube. Check every 6 months that the dirty air is being extracted correctly. Comply with local rules and regula- tions with regard to the extraction of ventilated air. Lighting. If the lamp fails to function check to ensure it is fitted correctly into the holder. If lamp failure has occurred then it should be replaced with identical replacement. Do not replace with any other type of lamp and do not fit a lamp with a higher rating. In the event of any malfunction or anomaly, notify your fitter who will have to check the ap- pliance and its connection. In the event of damage to the mains supply cable, this can only be replaced by at approved repair centre appointed by the manufacturer who have the necessary tools and equipment to carry out any repairs properly. Repairs carried out by other persons will invalidate the guarantee. Use only genuine spare parts. Should these warnings fail to be observed it could affect the safety of your cooker hood.
