been properly installed.
-
Read all the instructions before in
stalling or using for the first time.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND
REVIEW THEM PERIODICALLY
CAUTION
For General Ventilating Use Only. Do
Not Use To Exhaust Hazardous Or
Explosive Materials And Vapors.
This appliance is designed to vent
cooking smoke \ odors only.
Be certain your appliance is prop
erly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician.
To guarantee the electrical safety
of this appliance, continuity must
exist between the appliance and an ef
fective grounding system. It is impera
tive that this basic safety requirement
be met. If there is any doubt, have the
electrical system of the house checked
by a qualified electrician. The manufac
turer cannot be held responsible for
damages caused by the lack, or inade
quacy of, an effective grounding sys
tem.

Warning and Safety Instructions
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, use only
metal ductwork.
Any fittings, sealant, or materials used
to install the ductwork must be made of
approved non-flammable materials.
Never connect an exhaust hood to
an active chimney, dryer vent, vent
flue, or room ventilating ductwork. Seek
professional advice before connecting
an exhaust hood vent to an existing, in
active chimney or vent flue.
Never operate gas burners without
pots. Heat generated by prolonged
operation of gas burners without pots
could damage the hood.
Do not flambé beneath the exhaust
hood. Flames could be drawn up
into the hood by the suction or the
grease filters may ignite.
Do not allow children to play with
the hood or its controls.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE
TOP GREASE FIRE:
Keep the fan, filters and grease
laden surfaces clean.
Always turn hood "ON" when cook
ing at high heat.
Use high range settings on range
only when necessary. Heat oil
slowly on low to medium setting.
Don't leave range unattended
when cooking.
Always use cookware and utensils
appropriate for the type and
amount of food being prepared.
-
Do not leave cooking surfaces un
attended while in use. Overheated
food can ignite.
Do not use the exhaust hood with
out the grease filters in place.
Clean the grease filters regularly.
Dirty filters are a fire hazard.
Do not use a steam cleaner to
clean the hood. The steam could
penetrate to electrical components and
cause a short circuit.

Warning and Safety Instructions
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY
TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A
RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE,
OBSERVE THE FOLLLOWING:
Smother flames with a close fitting
lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then
turn off the burner.
Be careful to prevent burns.
If the flames do not go out immediately,
evacuate and call the fire depart
ment.
Never pick up a flaming pan - You
may be burned.
Do not use water, including wet
dishcloths or towels - a violent
steam explosion will occur.
Use an extinguisher
only if:
– You know you have a Class ABC ex-
tinguisher, and you already know
how to operate it.
–
The fire is small and contained in the
area where it started.
–
The fire department is being called.
–
You can fight the fire with your back
to an exit.

WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO
PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
Use this unit only in the manner in
tended by the manufacturer. If you
have questions, contact the manufacturer.
Before servicing or cleaning the
unit, turn power off at circuit
breaker and lock the service discon
necting means to prevent power from
being turned on accidentally. When the
service disconnecting means cannot
be locked, securely fasten a prominent
warning device, such as a tag, to the
service panel.
Installation and electrical work
must be performed by qualified
technicians in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.
Make sure that the airflow in the
room is sufficient for combustion
and exhausting of all non-electric heat
ing appliances (water heaters, gas
cooktops, gas ovens, etc.), otherwise
back drafts may occur. Follow the heat
ing maunfacturer's guidelines and
safety standards or those published by
the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA), or the American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration and Air Condi
tioning Engineers (ASHRAE).
If in doubt, consult an experienced pro
fessional.

Be careful not to damage hidden
electrical wiring or plumbing when
cutting or drilling into the wall or ceiling.
Ducted fans must always be
vented outdoors.

Warning and Safety Instructions
When connecting the hood to an ex
ternal vent, make sure that there is
adequate ventilation in the room
where the exhaust hood is to be
used.
When using the hood in the same area
as other appliances requiring room air
(e.g. non-electric water heaters, gas
cooktops, gas ovens, etc.) make cer
tain that the air extracted by the hood
does not hinder their operation. These
appliances need air for combustion.
Adequate ventilation can be maintained
by installing air vents in windows or
walls or by ensuring that the hood can
only be turned on when the other appliances are off, or vice versa.
To prevent combustion gases being
drawn back into the room by the exhaust hood, the underpressure in the
room must be no greater than 0.0006
psi (0.04 mbar) when the hood and
these appliances are running simulta
neously.

Description of the functions
The hood works
...by air extraction:
The air is drawn in, cleaned by an ex
ternal filter and then passed through an
internal filter before being directed out
side.
The hood has a non-return flap , (see
"Installation").
This flap is closed when the hood is off.
No exchange of room air and outside
air can take place. When the hood is
turned on the non-return flap opens for
the cooking odors to be blown outside.
...by air recirculaton:
The air is drawn in and cleaned first by
the external filter, then by the internal filter before passing through an active
charcoal filter. The cleaned air is then
recirculated back into the kitchen
through a vent in the top of the hood.
Before using the hood for the first
time in recirculation mode, make
sure that the active charcoal filter is
in place. See Section on "Cleaning
and care".

The hood will then begin to operate at
power level "II".
Selecting the power level
Depending on how much the air needs
to be filtered, there are four power lev
els available.
For normal cooking a low to medium
level is usually sufficient.
For frying or cooking food with a strong
aroma the highest level is recommended.
Lower level Higher level
^ Use the power level buttons to select
the power level required.

Cleaning and care
Before servicing or cleaning the
hood, disconnect it from the power
supply by "tripping" the circuit
breaker, removing the fuse or un
plugging it.
Make sure power is not restored to
the appliance while maintenance or
repair work is performed.
Housing
Lacquered surfaces can be cleaned
using a solution of hot water and liquid
soap. Dry with a soft cloth.
For stainless steel surfaces use a mild
non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner.
Never use cleaners which scour or
contain chlorine, acids or soda.
These will damage the surface of the
hood.
-
Grease filters
The hood has 2 re-usable metal filters
which remove solid particles (oil, dust,
etc.) from the vented kitchen air.
The hood has an external filter which is
visible on the underside of the appli
ance. An internal filter is situated above
it in the appliance.
The filters should be cleaned every
3 – 4 weeks to avoid a build-up of fat.
Clean the filters immediately if they are
obviously dirty.
Important! Always clean both filters.
A dirty filter is a fire hazard.
