The hood is destined uniquely for non-professional use in a domestic setting. It complies with international
safety quality regulations and requisites. The safety measures cannot, however, eliminate all risks of accidents.
Read the instructions, suggestions, and warnings carefully before installing and starting to use the hood.
Pay particular attention to the paragraphs with a triangular warning symbol to avoid damage to people or
objects. We recommend conserving the instructions booklet that must be supplied in case of sale or cession
of the hood to third parties.
During use
Never leave fried food, melted fat, paraffin or other inflammable liquids unattended on the cooking top.
In case of fire: turn the hood and the cooking top off immediately. ATTENTION! Put the fire out with a lid. Do not
use water.
Flambé cooking beneath the hood is forbidden because it could provoke a fire. Remember that overheated oil can
begin to burn spontaneously. Never leave a frying-pan unattended.
The anti-fat filter of the hood must be cleaned periodically to avoid fat dripping onto the cooking top and catching
fire. Read the chapter on Maintenance and cleaning in the instruction booklet.
Waste Disposal
Avoid accidents during the disposal of waste from the aspiration hood. Disconnect the plug from the electricity
socket and the supply cable from the entrance of the hood. Contact the local authorities for information about the
disposal of waste from the aspiration hood, or contact AB Elektroservice.
How to use the instructions
In the text you will find the following symbols that will guide you through the instructions:
Information about safety.
Environmental information.
Installation and assistance
Every eventual electrical connection must be carried out by a specialised electrician and the installation of the hood
must be carried out by a qualified technician. The installation of the hood by non-qualified personnel can lead to
malfunctioning of the hood and cause damage to people and/or objects.
Installation must be carried out in conformity with the Boverket regulations.
The hood must be installed at least 400 mm above the cooking top or electric plates, or at least 650 mm above
gas rings or gas tubes.
Check that the connection cable is not crushed during installation.
The hood is considered unconnected only when the plug or the fuse is disconnected.
Observe the rules and regulations concerning the elimination of fumes. The waste tube of the hood cannot therefore
be connected to a tube that is used for removing fumes from equipment supplied by power different to electricity,
e.g. a boiler or a fireplace.

Accessories
The following accessories are supplied together
with the hood:

5x30 M screws, 4 5.3x15 mm washers, 4
5.3x10 mm washers, 5 4 mm M nuts, 4
spacers, 4 dials, 2 brackets
and 2 valves.
Instructions booklet.
The following accessories can be ordered
from your retailer:
The flue assembly: to connect the hood to a
tube for the evacuation of fumes in conformity
with the Boverket regulations, use the flue
assembly that contains 1 evacuation tube, 2 tube
clamps and 1 joint for the ceiling with an
appropriate PNC 942 121 051 connection ring.
LONG LIFE active carbon filter : it is necessary
to use an active PNC 942 121 054 (50 cm), 942
121 054 carbon filter(60/70 cm) when the hood
is connected to a filtering system.
Ventilation grill: ventilation grill for the PNC 391
433 101 filtering version.
Functioning
Two modes are possible:
Aspiration of the air outside with a flue assembly
(optional) and a waste tube.
Filtration using active carbon filters (optional).
The aspiration hood cannot be connected
to the fume tubes of other apparatuses functioning
with sources of power other than electricity, e.g.
a boiler or a fireplace.
Using an active carbon filter. Using an active
carbon filter purifies the air in the hood and the
heated air remains in the house. It would be
sensible to use an active carbon filter during the
winter and the aspiration system during the
summer.

How to use the hood
Correct ventilation
A vacuum is necessary in the kitchen for the
correct functioning of the hood.
It is important to keep the kitchen windows
closed and have a window open in an adjacent
room.
Important
If the hood is used together with an open
fireplace that takes air from inside the house,
a draught might occur that could bring fumes
into the room. Air the room by opening a window.
This does not concern the active carbon filter
version.
Do not use the hood at an excessive speed. The lower
speeds are sufficient for normal cooking.
The higher speeds must only be used if food has
been burnt or there is a particular concentration of
fumes.
The control panel
The speed control is on the front of the hood.
(see figure)
Best results are obtained using a low speed
in normal conditions and a high speed when odours
are more concentrated.
ON/OFF key.
Speed control key.
Intensive speed key.
Intensive speed lasts for 5 minutes. The time may vary
slightly and cannot be modified. Press the intensive
speed key again if you want to interrupt the intensive
speed before the established time limit. If the hood is
functioning when intensive speed is started, it will return
to the previously set speed once the time limit has
passed, or intensive speed has been interrupted.
If the hood is off when intensive speed is started, it will
automatically witch itself off at the time limit. It is,
for example, opportune to use intensive speed for the
evacuation of odours after having finished cooking.
Illumination key.
We advise switching the hood on a few minutes
before starting to cook so as to obtain the vacuum
in the kitchen and to leave it working at the end of
cooking for another 15 minutes until all fumes and
odours have disappeared.
Maintenance and cleaning
Disconnect the hood from the power before
any maintenance work, removing the plug
or the fuse.
Cleaning the hood
Clean the exterior of the hood with a wet cloth
and a neutral detergent. Never use cleaning
products that contain corrosive or abrasive agents
or inflammable substances. Check that eventual
residues of the cloth or other particles are not
deposited upon the hood.
Clean the filter often. Deposits of fat on the filter
and the walls of the evacuation tube are a fire
danger if, for example, a ring is left inadvertently
lit (or in the case of other kinds of overheating).
Frequently cleaning the filter reduces the load
on the motor and increases the aspiration
capacity of the hood.
Cleaning/changing the active carbon filter
Unlike other active carbon filters, this type of
active carbon filter can be cleaned and regenerated.
In normal conditions, the filter should be cleaned
every two months. The best way to clean the filter
is to put it into the dishwasher.
Use a normal detergent and select the highest
temperature. Wash the filter separately to avoid
residues of food remaining imprisoned in it and
cause successive bad smells. The filter must be
dried in the oven for 10 minutes to
reactivate the carbons. Also see the instruction
supplied with the filter. After about three years
use the filter should be substituted with a new
one because its capacity to absorb odours
has been reduced.
