The cooker hood cannot be connected to flues of other appliances that run on energy sources other than electricity. Please, keep to the provisions of official directives regarding the question of fumes discharge.

Using the cooker hood

The control panel

Best results are obtained by using low speed for normal conditions and high speed when smells and steam 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 steam and smells have disappeared. See below list and Fig. 2 to know the functions of the Control Panel

E – Speed 1 LED F – Speed 2 LED and grease filter saturation LED (flashes) C – Speed 3 LED and carbon filter saturation LED

(flashes)

D – Intensive speed indicator LED G – Intensive speed ON switch H – OFF lamp button I – ON lamp button

If the hood fails to operate correctly, briefly disconnect it from the mains power supply for almost 5 sec. by pulling out the plug. Then plug it in again and try once more before contacting the Technical Assistance Service.

OO123 I

Intensive speed button

This speed should be used when the concentration of cooking fumes or odours is particularly strong (for example when frying, cooking fish etc.). The fast speed will run for about 5 minutes and then return to the speed previously set automatically (1, 2 or

3), or switch off if no speed was selected. To turn off the

fast speed, before the end of the 5 minutes, press button A or button B.

Control devices for the grease filter and carbon filter

This hood has a device which warns you when to clean the grease filter or replace the carbon filter (in the case of the air recircultion version). This hood is delivered with a carbon filter. For this reason we suggest to connect the warning signal to replace the carbon filter. If the hood will be used for recirculation of air, with carbon filter, the warning signal have to be connected as follows: Press the buttons B and G at the same time for about 3 seconds. The LED marked F lights up. When the LED marked C lights up, the warning signal is connected. To disconnect the warning signal, press the buttons B and G at the same time for about 3 seconds until the LED marked C goes out.

ABEFCG HID

Grease filter saturation led

The LED marked F warns you when the grease filter needs to be cleaned. This LED flashes to warn you that the grease filters must be cleaned. Generally, these must be cleaned after 40 hours of use. Read the maintenance instructions provided for the grease filters.

Carbon filter saturation led

The LED marked C indicates carbon filter needs to be replaced. This must be done after approximately 160 hours of use. Read the instructions provided for replacing the carbon filter.

To restore the LED for the filter warnings.

After cleaning of the grease filter and exchange of the carbon filter, press button A for about 3 seconds until the LED F stops flashing.

Correct ventilation

If the cooker hood should be working 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.
