• Best results are obtained by using a low speed for normal conditions and a high speed when odours are more concentrated. Turn the hood on a few minutes before you start cooking. The hood should be left on after cooking for about 15 minutes or until all the odours have disappeared.

• The hood can also be commanded from the control panel or the remote control. (the remote control is a special accessory and is ordered separately).

• The control panel consists of a knob and 2 LEDs; it is located at the bottom right-hand side of the cooker hood.

Unlike other charcoal filters, the LONGLIFE charcoal filter can be cleaned and reactivated.

With normal use the filter should be cleaned every second month (when using the hood 2,5 hours per day,on avarage). 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 charcoal, the filter should be dried in an oven for 10 minutes with a maximum temperature of 100º C. After approximately three years of use, the charcoal filter should be replaced with a new one, as the odour reduction capacity will be reduced.

Fit the charcoal filter on the rear side of the grease filter, fix it with metal wires.

The metal wires are included in the carbon filter packing and not on the hood TT
