cause a fire. Remember that overheated fat may spontaneously
ignite. Never leave the frying pan unattended.

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.
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.The
switches are located on the right-hand side of the hood.
• the light switch switches the hood lamp on and off.
• the motor switch switches the cooking smoke and vapour extractor
motor on and off, enabling you to select the speed.

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
Disconnect the cooker hood from the power supply prior to
cleaning the appliance, either by removing the plug from the mains
or removing the fuse.
Clean the filter regularly . The grease deposits in the filter and
discharge tube are fire hazards where a hotplate (or another heat
source) is left on by error.
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. To remove the filters:
• Press the handle Q that locks the grease filter N first towards the
opposite side and then extract downwards. Fig. 3.
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.
