!
• The grease filter must always be in
place when bringing the hood in
service, otherwise grease vapour can
become deposited in the hood.
• With gas hobs, take care that ceramic
hobs are not operated without coo-
king utensils. Parts of the hood can be
damaged by the rising heat from open
gas flames.
