Safety warnings
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.
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.
For the installer
When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a 150mm diameter
hose.
When installing the hood, make sure you respect the following minimum
distance from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring surfaces:
electric cookers 500 mm
gas cookers 650 mm
coal and oil cookers 700 mm min.
The hood can be installed above these heights but for optimum performance it
should be installed at the distance quoted for the appropriate heat source.
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.
3
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 authorities.
When the unit is used in its extractor version, 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
inspectors 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 filtering function, 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 extractor function, 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).
Failure to observe these basic instructions will drastically reduce the performance
and increase the noise levels of the extractor hood.

Description of the Appliance
The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours from the kitchen, it will
not extract steam.
The hood is supplied as an extractor unit and can also be used with a filtering
function by fitting one charcoal filter.
You will need an original charcoal filter for this function (Available from your local
Service Force Centre).
Extraction
In this version fumes are extracted to the outside via
a hose connected to the coupling ring A. Fig. 1.
In order to obtain the best performance the hose
should have a diameter equal to the outlet hole.

Filter Version
The air is filtered through a charcoal filter and returned to the kitchen.
You will need an original charcoal filter for the filtering function. (See Special
Accessories).
Fix the deflector using 4 screws. Fig. 2.

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, you will then get an
under pressure in the kitchen. The hood should be left on after cooking for about
15 minutes or until all the odours have disappeared. The control switches are
located on the units front panel.

1 - ON (stand-by - illuminated key) / OFF switch.
Press once or more to obtain the function desired:
Stand-by (dot "b" on the display is illuminated): the hood is ready to function,
the safety procedure is activated (see next page Safety procedure).
OFF: all the functions are switched off except the illumination.
2 - Light ON/OFF
3 - Manual(stand by)/Automatic (sensors - Led S will illuminate).
Press once to switch ON the Automatic mode, press again to switch OFF
(stand-by / Manual mode).
Automatic function:
The hood switch ON (extraction) on the basis of the change in the normal
environmental conditions that the hood notices through its sensors (see
next page Sensor test) .
The leds of the display will turn on alternatively in proportion to the suction
power setting.
Attention! The hood is equipped with an automatic system that establishes
what the normal environmental conditions are.
In the case of abnormal operation, calibration can be carried out
automatically or manually (see next page Automatic calibration and
Manual calibration).
