WARNING –
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
A. Never leave surface units unattended at
high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils
slowly on low or medium settings.
B. Always turn hood ON when cooking at
high heat or when flambeing food.
( i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Pepper
corn Beef Flambé).
C. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on
fan or filter.
D. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface
element.
WARNING –
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
A. Installation work and electrical wiring
must be done by qualified person(s) in
accordance with all applicable codes and
standards, including fire-rated
construction.
B. Sufficient air is needed for proper
combustion and exhausting of gases
through the flue (chimney) of fuel
burning equipment to prevent back
drafting. Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer’s guideline and safety
standards such as those published by the
National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA), and the American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration and Air
Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and
the local code authorities.
C. When cutting or drilling into wall or
ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring
and other hidden utilities.
D. Ducted fans must always be vented to the
outdoors.
WARNING –
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your hood unless it is specifically
recommended in this guide. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.

Control Device Reset
Grease Filters:
After cleaning the grease filters, press buttons (A)-(E) for
2 seconds until you hear the beep and the LED stops
flashing.
Coal Filter:
After replacing the cartridge, press both buttons (A)-(B)
for 2 seconds until you hear the beep. The LED will stop
flashing.
The coal filter saturation is also indicated when the hood
is used in vented version.
The hood is provided with a storage device which counts
the number of hours of operation and which regulates
the lighting up of the coal filter saturation LEDS.
For the correct operation of this device, it is important
that the hood be switched off by pressing button (A)
before unplugging it for any maintenance work.

Filters
To remove the metal grease filter/s:
■ Unplug the hood from the mains
socket.
FOR MODELS PVIG940, PVWG936
■ Press the clips towards the centre and
remove the filters. Fig. 1.
FOR MODELS PVWS930, PVWS936,
PVWT936
■ Press the handles and remove the
filters. Fig. 2.
To replace the metal grease filter/s:
■ Follow the same procedure, but
backwards.
The metal grease filters are manufactured using anodised aluminium and have an unlimited duration.
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
Hood Operation
Turn the fan on for approximately 5 minutes before you
start cooking in order to create some upwards drafts
through the hood.
This causes the heat, smoke, steam, grease and odours
produced during cooking to be pushed outwards, thereby
preventing them from drifting into other rooms.
Use the low speed settings for normal use and the high
speed settings for strong odours or thick smoke.
The presence of drafts in the kitchen or in the hood
reduces the efficiency of the hood. These drafts
should be avoided wherever possible.

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning or servicing any part of the vent hood.
Make sure lamps are cold before cleaning the hood.
To clean the filter/s
We recommend you wash the filters at least once a
month, by hand or in the dishwasher. Let the water drip
out of the holes on the edges and leave the filters to dry
completely before reinstalling them.
To clean the hood surface
For general cleaning operations, rub the external part of
the hood made of glass, using soapy water or household
cleaning products, rinsing it thoroughly and drying it
with a soft dry cloth to avoid marks being left by the
water.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
Do not use a steel-wool pad; it will scratch the surface.
Shake bottle well.
Place a small amount of CERAMA BRYTE
®
Stainless
Steel Cleaning Polish and Conditioner on a dry cloth
or dry paper towel.
Clean a small area (approximately 8” x 8” or
20.3 x 20.3 cm), rubbing with the grain of the
stainless steel if applicable.
Dry and buff with a clean, dry paper towel or soft
cloth.
Repeat as necessary.
