To Operate
Select the required fan speed and light if required.
Recirculation
In the recirculation mode the contaminated air enters
the cooker hood through the grease filters. The air is
cleaned by passing through the charcoal filters
before being passed back into the kitchen through
the grilles in either side of the chimney stack.
Extraction
In the extraction mode the contaminated air enters
the cooker hood passing through the grease filters
and is passed out through the ducting into the
atmosphere.
To obtain the best performance when cooking it is
advisable to switch the cooker hood on for a few
minutes before you start cooking and leave it
running for about 15 minutes after finishing.
When used in the ducting mode 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.
