Description of the Appliance

• The hood is supplied as an extractor unit and can also be used with a recirculation mode by fitting a charcoal filter.

• You will need an original charcoal filter for this function (Available from your local Service Force Centre).

• Only for HD 8760: The cooker hood is supplied ready for use as a recirculation hood and may be used for extraction by removing the charcoal filter which has been fitted inside the cooker hood.

Extraction mode

• In this version fumes are extracted to the outside via a hose connected to the coupling ring. Fig. 1.

• In order to obtain the best performance the hose should have a diameter equal to the outlet hole.

• Should there already be a pipe of diameter 125 mm that ducts to the outside through the walls, it is possible to use the 150/125 mm reduction flange provided. In this case the hood will be slightly noisier.

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).

• Fix the deflector using 2 screws Ø 3.5x9.5 mm. 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.

• Cooker hood operation can also be controlled using the remote control (the remote control is an accessory and may be ordered separately).

The control panel consists of a knob and 2 LEDs; it is located at the bottom right-hand side of the cooker hood.

Fig. 3

• To switch the lights on and off: Press and release the knob to switch the lights on; press and release it again to switch them off. Note: in some models it is possible to select one of 2 different lighting intensity levels.

• T o select an available suction speed (power) level: Turn the knob in a clockwise direction to increase the suction speed (power); turn it in an anticlockwise direction to decrease the power until the hob is switched off. The cooker hood is fitted with an LED (L1) which indicates the suction speed (power) selected by displaying different colours:

• Light off: Suction motor switched off.

• Fixed green light: Cooker hood operating at power level 1 (minimum).

• Fixed orange light: Cooker hood operating at power level 2 (medium).

• Fixed red light: Cooker hood operating at power level 3 (maximum).

• Flashing red light: Cooker hood operating at an intensive power level (for a duration of 5 minutes, after which the appliance automatically selects power level 3).

Filter checking device

The cooker hood is fitted with a device which indicates when the filter must be cleaned or replaced. Usually the device, which signals when the carbon filter needs maintenance work, is deactivated. To activate it, proceed as follows: Switch off the cooker hood. Press and hold the knob for approximately 5 seconds. The L2 LED begins to flash in green and after approximately 2 seconds the L2 LED will also begin to flash in orange, to indicate that the device, which indicates when it is necessary to perform carbon filter maintenance, has been activated.

L2 LED - grease filter indicator

The LED lights up in green when the grease filter needs to be cleaned; this happens approximately every 40 hours of operation. Every time the cooker hood is used, check whether the L2 LED is lit.

L2 LED - carbon filter indicator

The LED lights up in orange when the carbon filter needs to be cleaned/replaced; this happens approximately every 160 hours of operation. Every time the cooker hood is used, check whether the L2 LED is lit.

Resetting the filter saturation warning

After cleaning or replacing the filters, switch on the cooker hood at any suction speed (power), then press and hold the knob for more than 3 seconds, until you hear a beep indicating that the reset procedure has been performed successfully . The L2 LED and the cooker hood both switch off. In some situations (for example, when the L2 LED is indicating that the grease filters and the carbon filter are saturated), the procedure described above must be repeated.

Maintenance and care

• Before performing any maintenance operation, isolate the hood from the electrical supply by switching off at the connector and removing the connector fuse. Or if the appliance has been connected through a plug and socket, then the plug must be removed from the socket.

Cleaning the hood

• Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a solution of mild washing up liquid and washing up liquid.

• Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products.

• Never insert pointed objects in the motor’s protective grid.

• Never use caustic detergents or abrasive brushes or powders.

• Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grille using a damp cloth and delicate detergents.

• It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the filters at the recommended intervals. Failure to do so will cause grease deposits to build up that could constitute a fire hazard.

Metal grease filter

• The purpose of the grease filters is to absorb grease particles which form during cooking and it must always be used, either in the external extraction or internal recycling function. Attention: the metal grease filters must be removed and washed, either by hand or in the dishwasher, every four weeks.

• To access the grease filter, first remove the front panels which conceal the grease filter.

Hand washing

Soak grease filter(s) for about one hour in hot water with a grease-loosening cleaner, then rinse off thoroughly with hot water. Repeat the process if necessary. Refit the grease filters when they are dry.

Dishwasher

Place grease filters in the dishwasher. Select most powerful washing programme and highest temperature, at least 65°C. Repeat the process. Refit the grease filters when they are dry . When washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher a slight discolouration of the filter can occur, this does not have any imp act on its performance.

• Clean the inner housing using a hot detergent solution only (never use caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes).

After having re-installed the grease filter , remount the front p anels following the instructions for removal in reverse. The narrower front panel is to be mounted at the highest position.

Charcoal filter

• The charcoal filter should only be used if you want to use the hood in the recirculation mode.

• To do this you will need an original charcoal filter (available from your local Service Force Centre).

• Cleaning/replacing the charcoal filter Unlike other carbon filters, the LONGLIFE carbon filter can be cleaned and reactivated. With normal use the filter should be cleaned every second month (when using the hood 2,5 hours per day , on avarage). The best way to clean the filter is in the dishwasher. Use normal detergent and choose the highest temperature (65º C). Wash the filter separately so that no food part s gets stuck on the filter and later causes bad odours. To reactivate the filter, the filter should be dried in an oven for 10 minutes with a maximum temperature of 100ºC. After approximately three years of use, the charcoal filter should be replaced with a new, as the odour reduction cap acity will be reduced.

• Fitting Fit the charcoal filter on the rear side of the grease filter, fix it with two metal wires. Fig. 6. Attention! The metal wires are included in the carbon filter packing and not on the hood.

• To remove proceed in the reverse order.

• Always specify the hood model code number and serial number when ordering replacement filters. This information is shown on the registration plate located on the inside of the unit.

• The charcoal filter can be ordered from your local Service Force Centre.
