This manual covers the operation and maintenance of Stoves Sterling and Richmond chimney cooker hoods. Key tasks include operating the control panel, cleaning grease filters, and replacing charcoal filters. Always ensure the hood is installed at the correct safety distance and that the electrical connection is performed by a qualified technician.
Safety Information
- Safety Distance: The minimum distance between the hob and the hood is 650 mm. If gas hob instructions specify a greater distance, follow those requirements.
- Electrical Safety: Ensure mains voltage matches the rating label inside the hood. The appliance must be properly earthed (Class I).
- Ventilation: Do not connect the hood to exhaust ducts carrying combustion fumes (e.g., boilers, fireplaces). If used with gas appliances, ensure adequate room ventilation to prevent exhaust backflow.
