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.
 The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm
persons without supervision.
 Older children must be supervised if using the appliance.
 Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.

For the insta er
 When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a hose
having preferably the same diameter as the outlet hole.
Attention: The hose is not supplied and must be purchased
separately.
Should there already be a pipe of diameter 125 mm that ducts to the
outside through the walls or roof, it is possible to use the 150/125
mm reduction flange provided. In this case the hood will be slightly
noisier.
The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the
cooking vessels on the hob and the lowest part of the range hood
must be not less than 50cm from electric cookers and 65cm from
gas or mixed cookers.
If the instructions for installation for the gas cookers specify a greater
distance, this must be adhered to.
 The national Standard on fuel-burning systems specifies a maximum
depression of 0.04 mbar 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 local authorities.
 When the unit is used in extraction mode, a sufficiently large
ventilation hole must be provided, with dimensions that are approxi-
mately 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
is to say a larger hole, could reduce the performance of the extractor
hood.

61
 If the hood is used in its recirculation mode, it will operate simply
and safely in the above conditions without the need for any of the
aforementioned measures.
 When the hood is used in its extraction mode, the following rules
must be followed to obtain optimal operation:
- short and straight outlet hose
- keep bends in outlet hose to a minimum
- never install the hoses with an acute angle, they must always
follow a gentle curve.
- keep the hose as large as possible (preferably the same diameter
as the outlet hole).
- the length should be no more than:
3 metres with one 90° bend
2 metres with two 90° bends
Bends of more than 90° 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.

62
Description of the Appliance
The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours from
the kitchen, it will not extract steam.
 The hood is supplied as an extractor unit and can also be used with a
recirculation mode by fitting a charcoal filter.
Extraction mode
 In this mode fumes are extracted to
the outside via a hose connected to
the coupling ring A. Fig. 1.
 In order to obtain the best performance
the hose should have a diameter equal
to the outlet hole.
For the extractor version this pipe
must have a diameter of 150 mm.
Should there already be a pipe of
diameter 125 mm that ducts to the
outside through the walls or roof, it is
possible to use the 150/125 mm
reduction flange provided. In this case
the hood will be slightly noisier.

Recircu ation mode
 The air is filtered through a charcoal filter and returned to the
kitchen.
 You will need an original charcoal filter for the recirculation mode.
(See Special Accessories).

63
Hood Operation
 Best results are obtained by using a low speed for normal conditions
and a high speed when odours are more concentrated.
Turn the hood on a few minutes before you start cooking, you will
then get an under pressure in the kitchen. The hood should be left on
after cooking for about 15 minutes or until all the odours have
disappeared.
The control switches are located on the units front panel:
A- Main switch, hood off (OFF-stand-by).
B- Start and choice of motor speed 1-2-3-1-2.........
C- Indicates speed 1 (LED).
D- Indicates speed 2 and saturation of the grease filter (LED)
E- Indicates speed 3 and saturation of the charcoal filter (LED)
(flashing LED)
F- Indicates Intensive speed (LED).
G- Intensive speed on/off. The Intensive speed runs for 5 minutes:
If the hood is on when the Intensive speed is activated, the hood
reverts to previous speed after 5 minutes.
If the hood is off when the Intensive speed is activated, the hood
will be turned off after 5 minutes.
To interrupt the Intensive speed, press button A or B.
H- Light OFF
I- Light ON
Should the hood or the controls fail to operate: disconnect the power
supply for at least 5 seconds, then turn the hood back on again.

Contro device for grease and charcoa fi ters
This hood is fitted with a device that signals when it is necessary to
clean the grease filter or the charcoal filter (in the case of recirculation
version with charcoal filter).
On delivery, the hood is not supplied with an charcoal filter, so the
saturation indicator will be disabled.
If the hood is to be used with a charcoal filter, the saturation
indicator light must be enabled as follows:
Set "OFF" the hood.
Press buttons B and G simultaneously and hold them for 3 seconds.
At first only the grease filter LED D will light up, but when the charcoal
filter LED E lights up the saturation indicator will be enabled.
To disable it: Press buttons B and G again simultaneously and hold
them for 3 seconds, until the charcoal filter LED goes out.
Grease fi ter LED (D)
LED D will start to flash when it is time to clean the grease filter.
Cleaning will be necessary after 40 working hours. Always comply with
the maintenance instructions for the grease filter.
Charcoa fi ter LED (E)
The charcoal filter LED E will start to flash when the charcoal filter
needs to be replaced.
This operation is necessary after approximately 160 working hours.
Resetting the saturation indicator
After cleaning or replacing the filters, press button A for 3 seconds until
the grease filter LED D or the charcoal filter LED E stops flashing.

65
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 solution of
water and mild washing up liquid.
 Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products or
products containing bleach. .
 Never insert pointed objects in the motors protective grid.
 Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grill using a damp cloth
and mild washing up liquid.
 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
absorb grease particles which form
during cooking and it must always be
used, either in the external extraction
or internal re-circulation function.
Attention: the metal grease filters
must be removed and washed, either
by hand or in the dishwasher, every
four weeks.
Removing the metal grease filter
 First, push the metal grease filter
stop backwards, then extract the
filter, pulling downwards. Fig. 3.
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 hand hot solution only(never use
caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes).

Charcoa fi ter
 The charcoal filter should only be used if you want to use the hood in
recirculation mode.
 To do this you will need an original charcoal filter (available from your
local Service Force Centre).
Cleaning/replacing the charcoal filter
Unlike other charcoal filters, the LON LIFE charcoal filter can be
cleaned and reactivated. With 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
100º C.
After approximately three years of use, the charcoal filter should be
replaced with a new, as the odour reduction capacity will be reduced.
Fitting
Remove the frame i which supports the filter h by turning 90° the two
knobs g.
Insert the charcoal filter inside the frame and put all parts back in
their place. Fig. 4.
To remove proceed in the reverse order.
 Always specify the hood model code number and serial number when
ordering replacement filters. This information is shown on the rating
plate located on the inside of the unit.
 The charcoal filter can be ordered from your local Service Force
Centre.
