Safety warnings
For the user
 The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours from the
kitchen, it will not extract steam.
 Always cover lighted elements, to prevent excess heat from
damaging the appliance. In the case of oil, gas and coal fired
cookers it is essential to avoid open flames.
 Also, when frying, keep the deep frying pan on the cooker top/cooker
under careful control.
 The hot oil in the frying pan might ignite due to overheating.
 The risk of self-ignition increases when the oil being used is dirty.
 It is extremely important to note that overheating can cause a fire.
Never carry out any flambé cooking under the hood.
Always disconnect the unit from the power supply before
carrying out any work on the hood, including replacing the
light bulb (take the cartridge fuse out of the fuse holder or switch off
the automatic circuit breaker).
It is very important to clean the hood and replace the filter at
the recommended intervals. Failure to do so could cause
grease deposits to build up, resulting in a fire hazard.
This appliance is marked according to the European directive 2002/96/

For the insta er
 When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a
120mm diameter hose (HE 3160: Ø 120-110mm).
Attention: The hose is not supplied and must be purchased
separately.
When installing the hood, make sure you respect the following
minimum distance from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring
surfaces:
electric cookers 600 mm
gas cookers 700 mm
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater
distance, this must be adhered to.
 The national standard on fuel-burning systems specifies a maximum
depression of 0.04 bar in such rooms.
 The air outlet must not be connected to chimney flues or combustion
gas ducts. The air outlet must under no circumstances be connected
to ventilation ducts for rooms in which fuel-burning appliances are
installed.
 The air outlet installation must comply with the regulations laid down
by the relevant authorities.
 When the unit is used in its extractor version, a sufficiently large
ventilation hole must be provided, with dimensions that are
approximately the same as the outlet hole.
 National and regional building regulations impose a number of
restrictions on using hoods and fuel-burning appliances connected to
a chimney, such as coal or oil room-heaters and gas fires, in the
same room.
 Hoods can only be used safely with appliances connected to a
chimney if the room and/or flat (air/environment combination) is
ventilated from outside using a suitable ventilation hole approximately
500-600 cm2 large to avoid the possibility of a depression being
created during operation of the hood.
 If you have any doubts, contact the relevant controlling authority or
building inspectors office.
 Since the rule for rooms with fuel burning appliances is outlet hole of
the same size as the ventilation hole, a hole of 500-600 cm2, which

45
is to say a larger hole, could reduce the performance of the extractor
hood.
 If the hood is used in its filtering function, it will operate simply and
safely in the above conditions without the need for any of the
aforementioned measures.
 The ducting must be fire retardant, 120mm in diameter and the
length should be no more than:
3 metres with one 90 degree bend
2 metres with two 90 degree bends
Bends of more than 90 degrees will reduce the efficiency of the hood
and reduce the airflow.
 Failure to observe these basic instructions will drastically reduce the
performance and increase the noise levels of the extractor hood.

46
Description of the Appliance
 The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours from the
kitchen, it will not extract steam.
 In some models the charcoal filter is supplied. The hood, therefore,
can be used immediately in the recirculation mode. We advise
removing the charcoal filter to use the hood in the extraction mode.
Extractor version
 In this version fumes are extracted to the outside via a hose.
 In order to obtain the best performance the hose should have a
diameter equal to the outlet hole.
Recircu ation Version
 The air is filtered through a charcoal filter and returned to the kitchen.
 You will need an original charcoal filter for the recirculation function.
(Available from your local Service Force Centre).
 Insert the charcoal filter into the lugs of the frame above using the 2
red lugs E to retain it, press the red lugs inwards, and insert the
charcoal filter in the frame. Fig. 1.

Hood Operation
 Best results are obtained by using a low speed for normal conditions
and high speed when odours are more concentrated. Turn the hood
on a few minutes before you start cooking then you will get an
underpressure in the kitchen. It should be left on after cooking for
about 15 minutes or until all odours have disappeared.
The control switches are located on the units front panel:
The hood is also equipped with a micro-switch which can be found
under the lower runner of the visor on the right hand side.
With this micro-switch, the appliance may be automatically switched
on and off by opening and closing the pull-out panel, but only if the fan
speed has already been set and the light button is turned to I.

Maintenance and care
The hood must always be disconnected from the electricity
supply before beginning any maintenance work.
C eaning the hood
 Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a mild deter-
gent.
 Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products.
 Never insert pointed objects in the motors protective grid.
 Wash the outside surfaces using a delicate detergent solution. Never
use caustic detergents or abrasive brushes or powders.
 Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grille using a damp cloth
and delicate detergents.
 It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the filters at
the recommended intervals. Failure to do so will cause grease
deposits to build up that could constitute a fire hazard.
Meta grease fi ter
 The purpose of the grease filters is to aspirate grease particles which
form during cooking and it must always be used, either in the
external evacuation or internal recycling function.
Attention: the metal grease filters must be removed and washed,
either by hand or in the dishwasher, every four weeks.
Open the meta grease fi ter
 To remove the grease filters, first pull the handles upwards, then
extract the filter outwards. Fig. 2.

49
Hand washing
Soak grease filters for about one hour in hot water with a grease-
loosening cleaner, then rinse off thoroughly with hot water. Repeat the
process if necessary. Refit the grease filters when they are dry.
Dishwasher
Place grease filters in the dishwasher. Select most powerful washing
programme and highest temperature, at least 65°C. Repeat the
process. Refit the grease filters when they are dry.
When washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher a slight
discolouration of the filter can occur, this does not have any impact on
its performance.
 Clean the inner housing using a hot detergent solution only (never use
caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes).

50
Charcoa fi ter
 The charcoal filter should only be used if you want to use the hood in
the recirculation function.
 To do this you will need an original charcoal filter (available from your
local Service Force Centre).
Replacing the charcoal filter Type 150
This filter cannot be cleaned or reused.
As a general rule, the activated charcoal filter should be changed
once every 4 months.
Cleaning/replacing the charcoal filter Type 150 LONG LIFE
Unlike other charcoal filters, the LON LIFE charcoal filter can be
cleaned and reactivated. At normal use the filter should be cleaned
every second month (when using the hood 2,5 hours per day, on
avarage). The best way to clean the filter is in the dishwasher. Use
normal detergent and choose the highest temperature (65º C). Wash
the filter separately so that no food parts gets stuck on the filter and
later causes bad odours. To reactivate the charcoal, the filter should
be dried in an oven for 10 minutes with a maximum temperature of
100ºC.
After approximately three years of use, the charcoal filter should be
replaced with a new, as the odour reduction capacity will be reduced.
Fitting the charcoal filter:
Insert the charcoal filter into the lugs of the frame above using the 2
red lugs E to retain it, press the red lugs inwards, and insert the
charcoal filter in the frame. Fig. 3.
Removing:
Press both red lugs E upwards (towards the inside of the housing)
and remove the charcoal filter downwards. Fig. 3.
 Always specify the hood model code number and serial number
when ordering replacement filters. This information is shown on the
registration plate located on the inside of the unit.
 The charcoal filter can be ordered from your local Service Force
Centre.
