signalling of filter saturation must be set as follows:turn the hood OFF,
then pressT5 andT6 simultaneously for 3 seconds.
Correct ventilation
If the cooker hood is to work correctly there must be an
underpressure in the kitchen. It is important to keep the kitchen windows
closedandhave a window in anadjacentroomopen.
Important to know
Not applicable for recirculation. Great care must be taken if the hood is
used at the same time as a burner or fireplace (e.g. gas, diesel, coal or
wood heaters, water heaters, etc.), as the hood will expel air which is
required by these other appliances.Attend to it by opening a window.The
negativepressurein the room must not exceed 0,04 mbartopreventfumes
being drawn back into the room by the cooker hood.

Maintenance and cleaning
Beforedoinganymaintenance work on the hood, disconnect it
from the main supply by disconnecting the plug from the wall
socket or unscrewing the fuse.
Cleaning the hood
Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a mild detergent.
Neveruse corrosive,abrasive orflammablecleaningproducts.
Cleaning the grease filters
Clean the filter every month or every
other month according to how much
the hood is used. The cleaner the
filters, the more grease they collect.
Removethefiltersby(Fig. 3):
●Pushthehandle towards the rear
ofthe hood.
●Pull the filter down at the front
andremoveitforwards.
The filter is made of aluminium wires
on which the grease collects. Clean
thefilterinhotwaterusingadetergent,
or in a dishwasher. Let the filter dry
before putting it back. Note that a
dishwashermay discolourthe filter.
