AFTER SALES SERVICE
Before calling After Sales Service: 1. Check to see if you can fix the problem yourself (see �Troubleshooting guide�). 2. Switch off the hood for a few minutes and re-start it to see if the problem has cleared itself. 3. If the malfunction persists, call After-Sales Service. Specify: � The nature of the problem. � The model. � � � The service code (number below the word SERVICE on the rating plate inside the hood behind the grease filter).

Your full address. Your telephone number and area code.

INSTALLATION
When installing the hood, the minimum distances from the cooktop must be respected, and the numerical sequence and additional instructions must be followed exactly as indicated on the Installation sheet.

EXTERNAL EXHAUST MODE
(A - see also instruction sheet) Cooking fumes and vapours are conveyed outside through a duct connected to the hood by means of a collar. The outlet duct diameter must be the same as that of the collar. If a flue-damper is to be installed, check that it can open and close freely when installation of the exhaust duct is complete. The hood can be supplied with one (upper) or two (upper and rear) exhaust outlet holes. The hood is usually set up for using the upper exhaust outlet. 1. The collar must be seated in the upper exhaust outlet. Use the rear exhaust outlet (where present). 1. Where fitted, remove the cover closing off the rear outlet and collar. 2. Some models are fitted with a plastic deflector that closes off the rear outlet. If fitted, remove it. 3. Fit the collar in the rear outlet. 4. Put the cover (if fitted) in the upper outlet.

AIR CIRCULATION MODE
(F - see also installation sheet) The air is filtered by a carbon filter and recycled into the surrounding atmosphere. The filtered air is released towards the kitchen ceiling.

Warning! If the hood does not have a carbon filter, order one and fit it before use. Check that the switch inside the hood (if fitted) is on position �F� Filter; if not, set it to this position. If the plug is provided, close off the upper exhaust hole.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Before connecting the hood, make sure the voltage indicated on the rating plate corresponds to the voltage in your home. The plate is located inside the hood behind the grille. For GB this appliance is supplied without a plug and is intended for direct connection to fixed wiring in accordance with national wiring regulations. An all-pole disconnection switch with a minimum contact separation of 3 mm must be included in the fixed wiring in an easily accessible position. The Manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage or problem arising from the failure to comply with the above-mentioned instructions.

Warning! If the hood has a carbon filter, this should be removed.
Check that the switch inside the hood (if fitted) is in position �A� Extractor; if not, set it to this position.
