Before you use the cooker hood we recommend that you read through the whole user manual giving a direct
description of the cooker hood and its functions.
To avoid the risks, that are always present when you use a product driven by electricity, it is important that the
cooker hood is installed correctly and that you read the safety instructions carefully to avoid misuse and hazard.
Save the instruction manual and keep it available at use of the cooker hood.

Safety warnings
For the installer
• When used as an extractor unit, the hood must
be fitted with a hose having preferably the same
diameter as the outlet hole.
Attention: The hose is not supplied and must
be purchased separately.
• When installing the hood, make sure you
observe the following minimum distance
from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring
surfaces:
electric cookers 430 mm
gas cookers 650 mm
If the instructions for installation for the gas
hob specify a greater distance, this must be
adhered to.
• 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 charcoal filter is supplied. The hood,
therefore, can be used immediately in the
recirculation mode. We advise removing the
charcoal filter to use the hood in the extraction
mode.
Extraction mode
• In this mode fumes are extracted to the outside
via a hose connected to the coupling ring .
• 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).
