Please keep this instruction book for future reference and pass it on to any future owner of the appliance.

Safety warnings

For the installer

•When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a 150mm diameter hose.

Attention: The hose is not supplied and must be purchased separately.

•When installing the hood observe the following minimum distances from the cooking top:

Electric cooking tops

300mm

Attention! The hood must not be installed over gas hob.

•The national Standard on fuel-burning systems specifies a maximum depression of 0.04 mbar in such rooms.

•The air outlet must not be connected to chimney flues or combustion gas ducts. The air outlet must under no circumstances be connected to ventilation ducts for rooms in which fuel-burning appliances are installed.

•The air outlet installation must comply with the regulations laid down by the relevant local authorities.

•When the unit is used in extraction mode, a sufficiently large ventilation hole must be provided, with dimensions that are approximately the same as the outlet hole.

•National and regional building regulations impose a number of restrictions on using hoods and fuel-burning appliances connected to a chimney, such as coal or oil room-heaters and gas fires, in the same room.

•Hoods can only be used safely with appliances connected to a chimney if the room and/or flat (air/environment combination) is ventilated from outside using a suitable ventilation hole approximately 500-600 cm2 large to avoid the possibility of a depression being created during operation of the hood.

•If you have any doubts, contact the relevant controlling authority or building inspector’s office.

•Since the rule for rooms with fuel burning appliances is “outlet hole of the same size as the ventilation hole”, a hole of 500-600 cm2, which is to say a larger hole, could reduce the performance of the extractor hood.

•If the hood is used in its recirculation mode, it will operate simply and safely in the above conditions without the need for any of the aforementioned measures.

•When the hood is used in its extraction mode, the following rules must be followed to obtain optimal operation:

—short and straight outlet hose

—keep bends in outlet hose to a minimum

—never install the hoses with an acute angle, they must always follow a gentle curve.

—keep the hose as large as possible (preferably the same diameter as the outlet hole).

—the length should be no more than: 3 metres with one 90° bend

2 metres with two 90° bends

Bends of more than 90° will reduce the

efficiency of the hood and reduce the airflow.

•Failure to observe these basic instructions will drastically reduce the performance and increase the noise levels of the extractor hood.

For the user

•The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours from the kitchen, it will not extract steam.

•Always cover lighted elements, to prevent excess heat from damaging the appliance. In the case of oil, gas and coal fired cookers it is essential to avoid open flames.

•Also, when frying, keep the deep frying pan on the cooker top/cooker under careful control.

•The hot oil in the frying pan might ignite due to overheating.

•The risk of self-ignition increases when the oil being used is dirty.

•It is extremely important to note that overheating can cause a fire.

•Never carry out any flambé cooking under the hood.

•Always disconnect the unit from the power supply before carrying out any work on the hood, including replacing the light bulb

(take the cartridge fuse out of the fuse holder or switch off the automatic circuit breaker).

•It is very important to clean the hood and replace the filter at the recommended intervals. Failure to do so could cause grease deposits to build up, resulting in a fire hazard.

•The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

•Older children must be supervised if using the appliance.

•Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

•WARNING - Ensure that the appliance is switched off before replacing the lamp to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

Description of the Appliance

•The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours from the kitchen, it will not extract steam.

•The hood is supplied as an extractor unit and can also be used with a recirculation mode by fitting a charcoal filter.

•You will need an original charcoal filter for this function (Available from your local Service Force Centre).

Extraction mode

•In this mode fumes are extracted to the outside via a hose connected to the coupling ring A.

Fig. 1.

•In order to obtain the best performance the hose should have a diameter equal to the outlet hole.

Recirculation mode

•The air is filtered through a charcoal filter and returned to the kitchen.

•You will need an original charcoal filter for the recirculation mode. (See Special Accessories).

•Fix the deflector using 2 screws Ø 3.5x9.5 mm.

•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 is low on the left (lights and reset filters) and right (speed control – suction power).

1	-	Mains switch, ON/OFF
		Press for less than 1 1/2 seconds and the cooker hood goes into the "stand by" position (point "b" is
		illuminated).
		Press for more than 1 1/2 seconds and the cooker hood turns OFF, ALL the controls (except the light push
		button) are disabled (the display is off).
		Press again for more than 1 1/2 seconds to reset the cooker hood to "stand by".
2	-	Cooking lower lights key: OFF - suffused – full light - OFF- ….
3	-	Reset indicators of filters saturation key
4	-	Upper lights key: OFF – full light-OFF- …
5	-	Start and choice of motor speed 1-2-3-1-2.........
6	-	Display
7	-	Intensive speed on/off. The Intensive speed runs for 5 minutes:
		If the hood is on when the Intensive speed is activated, the hood will revert to previous speed after 5
		minutes.
		If the hood is off when the Intensive speed is activated, the hood will automatically turn off after 5
		minutes.
		To interrupt the Intensive speed, press button 1 or 7.
		The letter P appears on the display and the remaining time (the point “a” is flashing), if interrupted an
		acoustic signal is heard.
8	-	Self-Timer: times all the speed levels (the point “b” is flashing), and then the cooker hood switches off:
		The self-timer is set as follows:	1st speed level 20 minutes
			2nd speed level 15 minutes
			3rd speed level 10 minutes
			P speed level 5 minutes

The display shows the remaining operation time, at the end of the time an acoustic signal is heard. Depressing the push-button again exits the function.

Should the hood or the controls fail to operate: disconnect the power supply for at least 5 seconds. After reconnecting the power supply wait 15 seconds and then check that the cooker hood is now operating correctly.
