To Operate

Select the required functions.

The appliance can be installed to recirculate or extract
contaminated air. The cooker hood is more effective
when used in the extraction mode.

Extraction

In the extraction mode the contaminated air enters the
cooker hood, passes through the grease filter and out
through the ducting to the atmosphere.

Recirculation

In the recirculation mode contaminated air is passed
through the charcoal filters to be purified and
recirculated into the kitchen through a recirculation
grille. Ensure the charcoal filters are in position.

When the ducting mode is selected the

charcoal filters are not required.

Never do flambé cooking under this cooker
hood.

Never leave frying pans unattended during use
as over-heated fats and oils can catch fire.

Do not leave naked flames under the cooker
hood.

Ensure heating areas on your hob are covered
with pots and pans when using the hob and
cooker hood simultaneously.
