V1 V2 V3

5

To Operate

Select the required fan speed and light if required.

Recirculation

In the recirculation mode the contaminated air enters
the cooker hood through the grease fi lters. The air is
cleaned by passing through the charcoal fi lters
before being passed back into the kitchen through
the grilles in either side of the chimney stack.

Extraction

In the extraction mode the contaminated air enters
the cooker hood passing through the grease fi lters
and is passed out through the ducting into the
atmosphere.
To obtain the best performance when cooking it is
advisable to switch the cooker hood on for a few
minutes before you start cooking and leave it
running for about 15 minutes after fi nishing.

When used in the ducting mode the charcoal

fi lters are not required.

Never do fl ambé cooking under this cooker

hood.

Never leave frying pans unattended during use,

as over-heated fats and oils can catch fi re.

Do not leave naked fl ames under the cooker

hood.

Ensure heating areas on your hob are covered

with pots and pans when using the hob and
cooker hood simultaneously.

6

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Before carrying out any maintenance or

cleaning isolate the cooker hood from the
mains supply.

The cooker hood must be kept clean, as

a build up of grease or fat can be a fi re
hazard.

External Cleaning

Wipe the cooker hood frequently with warm soapy
water using a mild detergent.

Never use scouring pads or abrasive

cleaners.

Never use excessive amounts of water

when cleaning particularly around the
control panel.

Metal Grease Filters

The grease fi lters absorb grease and dust during
cooking to help keep the cooker hood clean
inside.

Cleaning
The fi lters must be washed once every

month, using a normal household
detergent; their compact dimension
also enables them to be washed in a
dishwasher. Allow to dry completely
before replacing.

Removing and replacing the fi lters
Remove the fi lters one at a time, press

against the metal actuator to release
the spring catch as illustrated. When
replacing, ensure that the handles face
outwards.

Charcoal Filter

In the recirculation mode the charcoal fi lter
absorbs smells and unwanted odours.

The charcoal fi lter cannot be cleaned or
regenerated, and must be replaced approximately
every 4 months, or more frequently if the hood is
subjected to heavy usage.

Replacing the charcoal fi lter
First remove the metal grease fi lters.

Remove the saturated activated charcoal

fi lter by releasing the fi xing hooks as
illustrated.

7

Position the new charcoal fi lter in the

position marked and while holding
the fi lter replace the fi xing hooks as
illustrated.

This appliance can be a possible fi re

hazard if the grease and charcoal
fi lters are not cleaned and replaced as
recommended.

Changing the Light Bulb

Remove the screw fi xing the lighting

support.

Pull the lighting support downwards.

Remove the light bulb by unscrewing it

anticlockwise.

Insert the new light bulb into the lighting

support and screw it clockwise taking care
not to overtighten the light bulb.

If one of the light bulbs has failed to function
check that the lamps is fully screwed into the
lighting support. If lamp failure has occurred then
it should be replaced with a 40W clear cylindrical
lamp with an E14 screw cap.

Replacement fi lters and light bulbs can be
obtained from your local Service Force Centre.
