Functional description

The ventilation hood works by air ex traction. The air is drawn in and cleaned by the grease filters and di rected outside. The hood comes equipped with a non-return flap. This flap automatically closes when the hood is turned off so that no exchange of outside air and room air can occur. When the hood is turned on, the air pressure of the ex haust fan automatically opens the flap blowing the inside air and cooking odors outside.

Level 1 operates at 40% capacity Level 2 operates at 60% capacity Level 3 operates at 80% capacity Level 4 operates at 100% capacity

Delayed Shut Down

If odors or smoke remain in the kitchen after cooking has been completed, the Delayed Shut Down feature can be selected to allow the hood to continue running for either 5 or 15 minutes.

The number of flashing pm indicators show the percentage of programmed hours that have been used.

1 indicator = less than 25 % 2 indicators = less than 50 % 3 indicators = less than 75 % 4 indicators = less than 100 %

This information will remain stored in memory in the event of a power failure.

Operation

Reprogramming the grease filter timer

The grease filter timer is preset to 30 hours. This time can be lengthened or shortened to 20, 30, 40 or 50 hours.

A time of 20 hours should be pro

–

grammed in kitchens with frequent pan or deep frying.

A time of 20 hours should also be

–

programmed if the kitchen is only used occasionally. Otherwise grease which has accumulated over a long period of time will harden on the fil ters making cleaning more difficult.

The indicator for the grease filter and one of the pm indicators will flash.

The lit pm indicator shows the pro grammed time:

1st indicator from the left = 20 hours 2nd indicator from the left = 30 hours 3rd indicator from the left = 40 hours 4th indicator from the left = 50 hours.

Use the p or m button to select

the desired time.

^ Press the On/Off button to turn off the

fan.

Press the Delayed Shut Down and grease filter buttons at the same time.

^ Store the selection by pressing the

grease filter button.

If the procedure is not stored within 4 minutes of programming, the hood will automatically default to the "old" data.
