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.

User manual.
You can order the following from your retailer:
LONG LIFE charcoal filter: Use the charcoal
filter when the hood is connected to the air recirculation system. New installations: PNC

Intake grid: Intake grid for re-circulation.
PNC 391 433 101.
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.

Cleaning/replacing the charcoal
filter
Unlike other filters of the same type, LONG LIFE
charcoal filters can be cleaned and re-used. The
filter should be cleaned every other month under
normal operating conditions. We recommend you
clean the filter in a dishwasher, at the maximum
temperature setting, using a standard detergent. No
domestic tools should be in the dishwasher when
the filter is cleaned, in order to avoid any food
particle deposits on the filter that could create
additional unpleasant odours. To reactivate the
charcoal, just dry the filter inside your oven. Set
the oven mode to normal (not to the "Grill" mode),
at a maximum temperature of 100° C, and leave
the filter inside it for 10 minutes. Read the filter
instructions too.
Lowering the front visor
Clean the filter regularly. Any oil buildups in the filter or duct could catch fire in
the event of overheating.
Clean the filter frequently. The cleaner
the filter, the lower the fan motor load,
which improves ventilation performance.
Note! Do NOT overload the pull-out glass
visor by resting on it or subjecting it to
abnormal loads.
The front visor can be lowered to facilitate
cleaning operations.
1. Push the front visor upwards until it rests
against the rear edge (see figure).
2. Lower the visor until it reaches the front edge
(see figure).
3. After cleaning, raise the visor; it locks
automatically in place as it reaches the rear
edge.
Filter cleaning
Clean the filter once a month or every other month,
depending on how often you use the hood. The
cleaner the filter, the more it traps oil and fat. To
remove the filter (see figure):
1. Using the handle: push the filter upwards to
put it back in its initial position.
2. Pull the front of the filter downwards and pull
out from the front.
The filter consists of aluminium cables on which
the oil and fat deposit. Clean the filter in hot water
and some detergent or in your dishwasher. Leave
the filter to dry before repositioning it. Please note
that the filter colour may fade if it is cleaned in a
dishwasher.

cut off from its electricity supply.
1. Remove the glass cover over the lamp using a
small screwdriver (see figure).
2. Remove the blown light bulb and replace it
with a new one with the same wattage.
3. Reposition the glass cover and push it firmly
into place.

Unpacking
Make sure the hood is in perfect condition. The
carrier must be notified immediately of any
damage incurred during transportation. The retailer
must be notified immediately of any damages,
faults and any missing parts. Do not leave the
packaging components within the reach of
children.
Positioning
The hood must be installed in a wall cabinet.
Make sure the back of the fan is not touching the
wall in any place. This would affect its positioning
and could cause the hood to become noisy. 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 (see figure).
Installing the hood in a cabinet
The locking screws must be in place (x
2). If this is not the case, the hood could
drop.
1. Trace a line using the installation template to
guide you (see figure 1). Saw along this line
and cut a groove at the base of the top part of
the cabinet.
2. Measure the thickness of the cabinet walls
(see figure 2). The most common wall
thicknesses are 16 and 19 mm. If the
thickness is any different, choose the closest
thickness.
3. Install the suspension bars (see figure 2) on
the installation template. The drawings
illustrate the left-hand side of the cabinet. Fig.
A for 16 mm cabinets and fig. B for 19 mm
cabinets.
4. Push the installation template against the side
of the cabinet and secure the fastening bars
with screws (see figure 3).
5. Turn the suspension bar by half a turn when it
is installed on the right-hand side of the
cabinet.
6. Raise the hood and insert the hooks in the
special slots.
7. Push the hood against the wall. Check that all
the hooks are correctly inserted in the slots.
8. Install the locking screw (see figure 4).

The locking screws must be in place (x 2).
If this is not the case, the hood could drop.
If the hood is to be installed in such a way that the
top edge of the front panel is aligned with the base
of the cabinet (see figure 1), follow the instructions
provided for "Installing the hood in a cabinet" with
16 mm walls, points 3-8.
If the hood is to be installed at a height above that
of the cabinet base:
1. Use the installation template to trace two
vertical lines on either side (see figure 2).
2. Measure the height at which the hood must be
installed.
3. Install the suspension bars (see figure 3).
The drawing illustrates the left-hand side. The
right-hand side is the exact opposite.
4. Raise the hood and insert the hooks in the
special slots.
5. Push the hood against the wall. Check that all
the hooks are correctly inserted in the slots.
6. Install the locking screw (see "Installing the
hood in a cabinet", figure 4).

Electrical connection
The electricity socket must be situated above the
hood, inside a wall cabinet. The hood is supplied
with an electrical power supply cable fitted with a
moulded plug with an earthing pin, suitable for a
230 V wall socket.
Depth adjustment
Once the hood has been installed, adjust it so that
it is in line with the wall.
1. Remove the filter as illustrated in the chapter
entitled "Care and cleaning".
2. Unscrew the screws (see figure).
3. Push the adjustment arms against the wall.
4. Tighten the screws.
5. Reposition the grease filter.

Fitting the cold air inlet
C
A
B
This is not applicable when the hood is used in recirculation mode. The hood can be fitted with a
cold air inlet (see figure). The cold air inlet consists of two valves fitted inside the hood flue duct.
If the hood is the only ventilation system in the
kitchen, the extremity of the valves leading to the
outside must be cut off and removed. Bend the
valves slightly so that the pins fit into the slots
provided in the hood flue duct. Make sure the
criss-cross side of the valves is facing upwards.
Push each valve with a pencil or similar object; the
valves should open without any resistance. In the
event of friction, make sure each valve has not
been installed upside down and that none of the
pins have slipped out of their slot.
Positioning the charcoal filter
Only applicable for operation in re-circulation
mode. The LONG LIFE charcoal filter (special
accessory) for this hood is installed instead of the
grease filter. The LONG LIFE charcoal filter is
both a grease filter as well as a charcoal filter,
designed to minimise unpleasant cooking odours.
An opening must be made underneath or on the
front of the cabinet (min. 100 cm²) where the hood
is installed, so that the filtered air can circulate
freely and return to the kitchen.
Fitting the flue kit (see figure)
Extend the flue duct, without exaggerating. A duct that is too long or not straight
enough could cut down hood efficiency
by up to fifty percent. Shorten the duct if
it is too long and make sure it is as
straight as possible.
A complete flue kit is sold separately as an optional. The flue duct (A) fits over the hood flue
connection ring (B) and is kept securely in place
by a collar. Make sure the duct is as straight as
possible and that it does not impede the movement
of the valves in any way. The duct is connected to
the duct outlet by the metal connection ring plate
(C), supplied in the kit.
