Safety instructions
The hood is not designed for commercial use, but only for normal culinary use in individual domestic settings. It
complies fully with international safety regulations and with international quality standards. All possible precautions do not however prevent all risk of accidents.
It is therefore vital that you read the instructions, advice and safety tips provided herein before installing
and using this hood. Pay special attention to the passages marked with a warning triangle, to avoid all personal
and material damage. Keep this user manual in a safe place for future reference or in the event of sale or transfer
to another owner.
Hood use
Do not leave flammable products under the
hood, such as oil and frying fat, paraffin oil,
etc. In the event of fire, turn both the cooker
and the hood off immediately.
Attention! Cover the fire. Never attempt to
extinguish it by pouring water over it.
Do not flambé food beneath the hood. This
could start a fire. Keep in mind that fats
heated to high temperatures could
spontaneously ignite. Never leave a hot frying
pan under the hood if you have to leave the
kitchen.
The filter must be cleaned regularly in order
to prevent any fat from dropping back down
onto hot burners or hotplates, which could
start a fire. Also read the chapter entitled
"Care and cleaning" in this manual.
Scrapping
When scrapping the hood, take all the
necessary steps set forth by the law to prevent
all future accidents. Unplug the plug on the
power supply cable from the wall socket and
cut the cable near the appliance air inlet.
Contact your local authorities for details on
scrapping your hood.
Installation and appliance care
All electrical installation operations must be
carried out by a qualified electrician and the
hood itself must be installed by a skilled
professional. A hood that has been installed
by an unqualified person may lead to
malfunctioning, and even personal or material
damage.
The hood must be installed at a minimum of
40 cm above an electric hob or cooker and at
least 65 cm above gas burners or a gas cooker.
During installation, make sure the electrical
power supply cable is left completely free and
in perfect condition.
The electrical power supply to the hob is only
cut off when the power supply cable is
unplugged or the fuse is disconnected.
The laws and regulations applicable to the
method used for the vented air outlet must be
observed. For example, the exhaust air must
not be vented towards ducts used for
combustion flue gases, powered by a type of
energy other than electricity, such as fuel-oil
boilers and wood-fired stoves.

You can order the following from your retailer:

Intake grid: Intake grid for re-circulation.

Operation
The hood can operate in two ways:
By venting the air outside, using the flue kit
and flue duct.
By re-circulating the air, using a charcoal
filter (filter sold separately).
The hood must not be connected to a flue
duct used for the flue gases originating
from appliances that do not run on
electricity.
Use the charcoal filter. The charcoal filter
purifies the air that circulates throughout
the hood; this hot air is then re-introduced
into the appliance in order to avoid all
energy wastage. It is preferable to use the
re-circulation mode in winter and the
vented mode in summer.

Hood Use
Turning off the hood
Press the fan switch for at least 3 seconds. The fan
motor is consequently turned off but the light
continues to operate normally. To turn on the hood,
push the visor first slightly inwards and then pull it
out completely.
Correct ventilation
For the hood to operate correctly, do not open any
windows in your kitchen; on the other hand, you
should open a window in the next room.
Important recommendation
If the hood operates at the same time as a burner or
open fire (gas, fuel-oil or wood-fired heating,
water heater, etc.), take special care because the
hood may intake the air necessary for the combustion of said systems.
Do not set the fan at a higher speed than
necessary. Low speeds are sufficient for
cooking under normal conditions.
Only use high speeds to evacuate strong
odours (such as those generated by burnt
food, etc.).
Speed control
The extractor fan speed can be adjusted using the
pull-out glass visor (see figure).
B
A
Pushbutton A (Timer)
When the glass visor is in position (A), the light turns
on. When the adjuster reaches position (B), the hood
motor starts at low speed, then the speed increases
gradually as the panel is pulled out.
To set the intensive speed, then push the push
button A (see figure), the intensive speed lasts for 5
minutes.
For best results, low speeds are recommended
under normal operating conditions, and higher speed
settings when the concentration of fumes and steam
are highest.
Turn the hood on a few minutes before you begin
cooking, in order to create a partial vacuum in the
kitchen. Once you have finished cooking, leave the
hood on for another 15 minutes, or until all steam and
fumes have disappeared.
Care and Cleaning
Before performing any hood care
operations, turn off the electricity supply
by unplugging the power supply cable
from the wall socket or by removing the
fuse.
Hood cleaning
Clean the exterior of the hood using a soft cloth
moistened with a neutral detergent. Never use
corrosive, abrasive or inflammable cleaning products.
34
Cleaning the stainless steel
surfaces
For an improved cleaning action on the stainless
steel surfaces of the hood, use a soft cloth and
Original Steel Polish, on sale from the service
centre.
You can also use glass cleaner. If the surface is
extremely dirty, you can use methylated spirit.
NEVER use scouring powder or any other
product that may scratch the surface irreparably.
Do not use materials such as steel wool or scraping
pads which may scratch the surfaces.
