●Never leave any deep-frying, melting fat, paraffin or any other inflammable liquid unattended on the hob. In the event of fire: Immediately switch off the cooker hood and the cooker. 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.

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 by 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.
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.
