Safety warnings
For the user
 The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours from the
kitchen, it will not extract steam.
 Always co er lighted elements, to pre ent excess heat from
damaging the appliance. In the case of oil, gas and coal fired
cookers it is essential to a oid 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 o erheating.
 The risk of self-ignition increases when the oil being used is dirty.
 It is extremely important to note that o erheating 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 super ision.
 Older children must be super ised if using the appliance.
 Young children should be super ised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
 WARNING - Ensure that the appliance is switched off before
replacing the lamp to a oid the possibility of electric shock.
For the insta er
 When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a
150mm diameter hose.
 Should there already be a pipe of diameter 125 or 120 mm that ducts
to the outside through the walls, it is possible to use the 150/125-120
mm reduction flange pro ided.
In this case the hood will be slightly noisier.
When installing the hood, make sure you observe the following
minimum distance from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring
surfaces:
electric cookers 500 mm
gas cookers 650 mm
coal and oil cookers 800 mm min.
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater
distance, this must be adhered to.

45
 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 entilation ducts for rooms in which fuel-burning appliances are
installed.
 The air outlet installation must comply with the regulations laid down
by the rele ant local authorities.
 When the unit is used in extraction mode, a sufficiently large
entilation hole must be pro ided, 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/en ironment combination) is
entilated from outside using a suitable entilation hole approximately
500-600 cm2 large to a oid the possibility of a depression being
created during operation of the hood.
 If you ha e any doubts, contact the rele ant 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 entilation hole, a hole of 500-600 cm2, which
is to say a larger hole, could reduce the performance of the extractor
hood.
 If the hood is used in its recirculation mode, it will operate simply and
safely in the abo e 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
 ne er install the hoses with an acute angle, they must always
follow a gentle cur e.
 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 obser e these basic instructions will drastically reduce the
performance and increase the noise le els of the extractor hood.

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.
 You will need an original charcoal filter for this function (A ailable from
your local Ser ice Force Centre).
Extraction mode
 In this mode fumes are extracted to
the outside ia a hose connected to
the coupling ring A. Fig. 1.
 In order to obtain the best performance
the hose should ha e a diameter equal
to the outlet hole.
 Should there already be a pipe of
diameter 125 or 120 mm that ducts to
the outside through the walls, it is
possible to use the 150/125-120 mm
reduction flange pro ided.
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).

Control Panel
 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.
The hood should be left on after cooking for about 15 minutes or until
all the odours ha e disappeared. The control switches are located on
the hoods front panel:
the light switch switches the hood lamp on and off
the motor switch switches the motor off
 Speed 1: Speed 1 push-button

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.
 Ne er use corrosi e, abrasi e or flammable cleaning products or
products containing bleach. .
 Ne er insert pointed objects in the motors protecti e grid.
 Only e er 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 inter als. 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 remo ed and washed,
either by hand or in the dishwasher, e ery 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 ha e any
impact on its performance.
 Clean the inner housing using a hand hot
solution only(ne er use caustic detergents,
abrasi e powders or brushes). Fig. 3

49
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 (a ailable from your
local Ser ice Force Centre).
Cleaning/replacing the charcoal filter
Unlike other charcoal filters, the LONGLIFE charcoal filter can be
cleaned and reacti ated. With normal use the filter should be cleaned
e ery second month (when using the hood 2,5 hours per day,on
a arage). 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 reacti ate the charcoal, the filter should
be dried in an o en 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 - Fig. 4
Remo e 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.
To remove proceed in the re erse 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 Ser ice Force
Centre.
