Control Panel

•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).

•Correct ventilation: If the cooker hood is to work correctly there must be an under pressure in the kitchen. It is important to keep the kitchen windows closed and have a window in an adjacent room open.

Maintenance and Care

•Before performing any maintenance operation, isolate the hood from the electrical supply by switching off at the connector and removing the connector fuse.

Or if the appliance has been connected through a plug and socket, then the plug must be removed from the socket.

Metal grease filter

•The purpose of the grease filters is to absorb grease particles which form during cooking and it must always be used, either in the external extraction or internal re-circulation function.

Attention: the metal grease filters must be removed and washed, either by hand or in the dishwasher, every 4 weeks.

The front panels should also be washed by hand every 4 weeks using a neutral liquid detergent. Do not use aggressive detergents.

•To access the grease filter, first remove the front panels which conceal the grease filter.

Removing the front panels:

Pull the two upper panels and the two lower panels firmly outwards.

The decorative control panel could be extracted but not removed from the hood.

Perform these steps in the reverse order when reassembling the appliance

and fix the panel pins into the retaining springs on the cooker

hod.

For efficient suction performance, replace the panels in accordance with the contours of the cooker hood.

Removing the metal grease filter

•Use the spring handle and remove the filter downward.

Hand washing

Soak grease filters for about one hour in hot water with a grease-loosening cleaner, then rinse off thoroughly with hot water. Repeat the process if necessary. Refit the grease filters when they are dry.

Dishwasher

Place grease filters in the dishwasher. Select most powerful washing programme and highest temperature, at least 65°C. Repeat the process. Refit the grease filters when they are dry.

When washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher a slight discolouration of the filter can occur, this does not have any impact on its performance.

•Clean the inner housing using a hand hot solution only(never use caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes).

	used if you want to use the hood in
	recirculation mode.

•To do this you will need an original charcoal filter (available from your

local Service Force Centre).

• Cleaning/replacing the charcoal filter

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

•To remove proceed in the reverse order.

•Always specify the hood model code number and serial number when ordering replacement filters. This information is shown on the rating plate located on the inside of the unit.

•The charcoal filter can be ordered from your local Service Force Centre.

Safety warnings for the electrician

The mains power supply must correspond to the rating indicated on the plate situated inside the hood. If provided with a plug connect the hood to a socket in compliance with current regulations and positioned in an accessible area. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not located in an accessible area apply a bi-polar switch in accordance with standards which assures the complete disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to over-current category III, in accordance with installation instructions. IMPORTANT: Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains supply and checking the efficient function, always check that the mains cable is correctly assembled.
