inflammable liquid unattended on the hob. In the event of fire:
Immediately switch off the cooker hood and the cook er . Note! Cover
the fire. Never use water.
● Never do any flambé cooking underneath the cooker hood. It can cause
a fire. Remember that overheated fat may spontaneously ignite. Never
leave the frying pan unattended.
● It is essential that the grease filter is regularly cleaned to help avoid fat
dripping on to the hot zone and causing a fire. Read the section on
“Maintenance and Cleaning” in the instruction book.

Description of the cooker hood
Functions
There are two possible systems:
● Extraction of air to the outside using an
optional venting kit and evacuation
duct.
● Recirculation using an optional carbon
filter.

● 1 Adaptor 150-125 mm
● 2 Tube clamps
● 1 hood canopy complete with controls, lighting and f an motor .
● 1 telescopic chimney stack formed by: U-shaped upper section and U-
shaped lower section.
● 1 reduction flange Ø 150-125 mm.
● 1 recirculation spigot.
● 1 plastic bag containing: 2 wall hooks to fix the canopy hood, 1 wall
bracket to fix the chimne y, rawl plugs, screws, and documentation.

Using the cooker hood
The control panel
Best results are obtained by using a low speed for normal conditions and
high speed when odours are more concentrated.
The control panel has five push buttons, one for switching the lamp on/off, the
others for choosing the motor speed, 0-1-2-3. (Fig. 2).
Turn the hood on a few minutes before you start cooking then you will get
an underpressure in the kitchen. It should be left on after cooking for about
15 minutes or until all odours have disappeared.
Fig. 2
Correct ventilation
If the cooker hood is to work correctly there must be an underpressure in
the kitchen. It is important to keep the kitchen windows closed and have a
window in an adjacent room open.
Important to know
Not applicable for recirculation. Great care must be taken if the hood is
used at the same time as a burner or fireplace (e.g. gas, diesel, coal or
wood heaters, water heaters, etc.), as the hood will expel air which is
required by these other appliances. Attend to it b y opening a window . The
negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0,04 mbar to prevent fumes
being drawn back into the room by the cooker hood.

Maintenance and cleaning
Before doing any maintenance work on the hood, disconnect it
from the main supply by disconnecting the plug from the wall
socket or unscrewing the fuse.
Cleaning the hood
Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a mild detergent.
Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products.
Cleaning the grease filters
Clean the filter every month or every
other month according to how much
the hood is used. The cleaner the
filters, the more grease they collect.
Remove the filters by (Fig.3):
● Push the handle towards the rear
of the hood.
● Pull the filter down at the front
and remove it forwards.
The filter is made of aluminium wires
on which the grease collects. Clean
the filter in hot water using a detergent,
or in a dishwasher. Let the filter dry
before putting it back. Note that a
dishwasher may discolour the filter.
Fig. 3
Changing and cleaning the carbon filter
Only applicable for recirculation. The carbon filters absorb smells and
odours.
Unlike other carbon filters, the LONGLIFE carbon filter can be cleaned and
reactivated. At normal use the filter should be cleaned every second month.
The best way to clean the filter is in the dishwasher. Use normal detergent and
choose the highest temperature (65º C). Wash the filter separately so that no
food parts gets stuck on the filter and later causes bad odours. To reactivate
the carbon, the filter should be dried in an oven for 10 minutes with a
temperature of maximum 100º C.
The KFL 60/80 carbon filter can not be reactivated, it has to be changed after
6-8 months of normal use.
