OPERATION
For models GA-600S, GA-900S and GA-1200S
The rangehood has a 4-speed electronic keypad.
Speed control usage suggestions:
• Low speed for simmering.
• Medium speed for light cooking.
• High speeds are for heavy frying or heavy cooking.
Electrical Tactile Keypad
To obtain the best performance, switch the
rangehood on a few minutes prior to cooking and
leave running for at least 10 minutes after you
have nished cooking.
The buttons have the following functions:
A.- Timer: When this function is activated, the
blue light will ash on the timer button. The
rangehood continues to operate for 10-15 minutes
at the required speed and then automatically
switches the motor o.
B.- Increase speed: This button increases the
aspiration speed. When at maximum speed, the
blue light will ash.
C.- ON / OFF: This button turns the rangehood on
and o. The rangehood will always turn on at the
same speed at which is was turned o.
D.- Reduce speed: This button reduces the
aspiration speed. When in operation, the low
speed button will be blue.
E.- Light: Press this button to turn the lights on
and o. When it is operating, the light is blue.
This rangehood has a device that lets you know
when the grease lters must be cleaned.
When the lamp on button “E” ashes, this means
the lters must be washed (usually after 40 hours
of operation).
When the lters have been washed and re-mounted,
hold the “E” button down for a few seconds to reset
it and return the counter down to zero.

FILTERS
• For your appliance to function eectively,
regular maintenance is a must.
• The function of the lter is to absorb the grease
particles emitted during cooking.
• Blocked lters and heavy oil deposits restrict

if required) press ‘Catch A’ towards the rear of
the rangehood (removing the pins from the
front guide), ease down slightly and remove.
To replace, perform the same operation but

• For an induction cooktop, please aim to clean
the lters at least every 10 days, depending
on frequency of use.
• The lters can be washed by hand or in the
dishwasher
Washing by hand - Immerse the lters in hot
water and a suitable detergent, when clean,
