Safety instructions	.

The cooker hood may only be used in a private household and for normal cooking purposes. It fulfils international safety regulations and standards of quality. All precautionary measures however cannot fully eliminate all the accident risks. Therefore you should read through instructions, advises and safety instructions carefully before you install and start using the cooker hood. Pay special attention to sentences with a warning triangle to avoid damages to person or property. Save the instruction boook for future reference if the cooker hood is sold or left to another person.

Installation and service

•Any electrical installation of the cooker hood must be carried out by a qualified electrician and the hood itself must be installed by someone with experience. Installation made by an unqualified person can lead to loss of function of the cooker hood and possible damage to person and/or property.

•The cooker hood must be at least 50 cm above electric burners or electric range, or at least 75 cm above gas burners or gas range.

•Ensure that the power cord does not get squeezed at the installation.

•The cooker hood is only dead when the plug or the fuse is disconnected.

•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.

Use of cooker hood

•Never leave any deep-frying, melting fat, paraffin or any other inflammable unattended on the hob. If 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 fraying pan unattended.

•It is essential that the grease filter is regularly cleaned to avoid fat to drip on to the hot zone and cause fire. Read also the part “Maintenance and Cleaning” in the instruction book.

Disposal

•Prevent accidents when disposing your cooker hood. Disconnect the power plug from the wall socket and cut the power cord at the hood inlet. Contact your local authority for information on where to dispose the cooker hood.

Accessories

The following are included with the cooker hood (Fig. 1):

•Screws for mounting

•Template

•Non return fume valve (mounted in the outlet hole)

Functions

There are two possible systems:

•Extraction of air to outside using optional venting kit and evacuation duct

•Recirculation using carbon filter.

Exhausting version

The air is vented outdoors by a 150 mm duct which must be connected to connecting ring with no return valve on top of the motor package.

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.

Recycling version

The air is filtered through a carbon filter and recirculated into the room through the top sides of the chimney. This version is used when there is no exhaust duct for venting outdoors or when it is impossible to install one.

Special accessories

Active carbon filter

When the hood is used in recirculation mode an active carbon filter should be used.

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.

The control panel is located on the front right side

=Lighting, on/off.

=Fan off

=Fast speed switch (P+ the led on the bottom

right side of the display flashes). 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 and .

=Display showing fan speed (1-3-P), change

grease filters (grease filter saturation indicator - F) and change activated carbon filters (carbon filter saturation indicator - C).

A lighted Led on the right bottom side indicates the hood is in stand-by

Warning!

The active carbon filter saturation function is not activated.

In order to activate the carbon filter saturation

indicator, press buttons and simultaneously for 3 seconds. Initially, only letter F will fbe displayed, then after the 3 seconds have passed, letter C will be displayed as well, indicating that the carbon filter saturation control system is active.

To switch off the system, re-press the same two buttons: letter C appear on display and after 3 seconds letter it disappear and the device will be switched off.

= Decrease fan speed button for reducing

speed of motor from 3 down to speed 1.

= Increase fan speed button for increasing

speed of motor from 1 to 3.

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.

Always press the fan off button before disconnecting the hood from the mains supply.

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.
