Safety warnings

For the installer

 When used as an extractor unit, the hood must

be fitted with a 120mm diameter hose.

Attention: The hose is not supplied and
must be purchased separately.

 When installing the hood observe the

following minimum distances from the
cooking top:
electric cookers 600 mm

gas cookers 700 mm

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. 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 cm
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 cm
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

2

large to avoid the

2

, which

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 hood is supplied as a recirculator unit and

can also be used with a extraction mode by not
installing/using the charcoal filters.

Attention! The charcoal filters are attached to one
side of the polystyrene protection panels in the
packaging and should be fitted into place prior to
using the cooker hood in the recirculation version.

Coupling ring

Extraction mode

 In this mode 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.

Recirculation mode

 The air is filtered through a charcoal filter and

returned to the kitchen.

 Fix the deflector using 2 screws Ø 3,5x6.5 mm.

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.
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 units front panel:

Motor switch

Correct ventilation

If the cooker hood is to work correctly there must
be an under pressure in the kitchen. It is important
to keep the kitchen windows closed and have a
window in an adjacent room open.
