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.
WARNING - Ensure that the appliance is switched off before
replacing the lamp to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
For the insta er
When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a
100mm or 120mm diameter hose.
When installing the hood, make sure you observe the follow-
ing minimum distance from the top edge of the cooking hob/
ring surfaces:
electric cookers 500 mm
gas cookers 650 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 mbar in such rooms.
55
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 inspectors 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.
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.

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 (Available
from your local Service Force Centre).
Extraction mode
In this mode fumes are extracted to the outside via a hose
connected to the coupling ring. Fig. 1.
In order to obtain the best performance the hose should have a
diameter equal to the outlet hole.
Depending on your installation the hose can be directed either
towards the ceiling or towards the walls.

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).
Opening the grid: Move the two sliders towards the centre (in the
OPEN direction) and release the grille downwards. Fig. 2
To refit the grid: it should be inserted above between the
appropriate guides until it latches into place, and after having
propped the grille to the cooker hood also in the lower part move the
two sliders outwards (in the CLOSED direction). Fig. 2.
Place the charcoal filter to cover the grille that protects the extraction
motor. The arrow printed on the charcoal filter must correspond to the
arrow printed on the conveyor. Fig. 3.
Turn the filter clockwise in order to lock the filter into position.

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 have disappeared.
The control switches are located on the hoods front panel:
the light switch switches the hood lamp on and off
the motor switch switches the motor on and off, enabling you to
select one of the three different speeds.
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.
