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.

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 fire hazard.

The external surfaces of the hood should be cleaned regularly. Wipe the cooker hood frequently with warm soapy water using a mild detergent. Dry thoroughly after cleaning.

Always wear protective gloves when cleaning the hood.

Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners.

Never use excessive amounts of water when cleaning particularly around the control panel.

Charcoal Filter

The charcoal filters absorb the odours from cooking. They will slowly become saturated and gradually less effective.

The charcoal filters cannot be cleaned, we recommend they are replaced every 3-6 months or more often if the hood is used for more than 3 hours per day.

with one hand and draw down on the two grey handles (located on each side of the grille).

2. The charcoal filters are left and right handed
