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
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 provided.
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
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.
 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 approxi-
mately 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.
 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

70
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.

71
A
Descripti n f 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 A. Fig. 1.
 In order to obtain the best performance the hose should have 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 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).

Grease and charcoa fi ter maintenance
indicator
This hood is fitted with a device that indicates when it is necessary to
clean the grease filter or the charcoal filter (if the hood is used in the
recirculation version with a charcoal filter).
On delivery, the hood is not supplied with a 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 the hood in Stand by.
Press buttons 3 and 4 simultaneously and hold them for 3 seconds. At
first only the grease filter LED 5 will light up, but when the charcoal
filter LED 6 lights up the saturation indicator will be enabled.
To disable it: Press buttons 3 and 4 again simultaneously and hold
them for 3 seconds, until the charcoal filter LED 6 goes out.
Grease fi ter LED (5)
LED 5 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 (6)
The charcoal filter LED 6 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 2 for 3 seconds until
the grease filter LED 5 or the charcoal filter LED 6 stops flashing.

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.
 To access the grease filter, first remove the front panels which
conceal the grease filter.
Removing the front

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.

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 tempera-
ture (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. 5.
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.

Assembling the deflector (3 parts  only for filter
version):
The three parts should be fixed with 2 screws, the
deflector extension is adjustable and should
correspond to the width of the chimney flue support,
to which it is then fixed. Expansion plugs are
provided to secure the hood to most types of
ceilings. However, a qualified technician must verify
suitability of the materials in accordance with the type
of ceiling. The ceiling must be strong enough to take
the weight of the hood. During electrical connection
ensure the power supply is disconnected at the
domestic mains switch.
 Adjust extension of the hood support structure, as
the final height of the hood depends on this, and remember that
with installation completed the hood must be at least 50 cm above
the hob top for electric cookers and 65 cm for gas or mixed fuel
cookers.
 Fix the two sections of the structure using 8 screws (2).
 Place the ceiling hole diagram directly above the hob top (3 - the
centre of the diagram must match the centre of the hob top and the
edges must be parallel to the sides of the hob top). Prepare the
electrical connection.
 Drill as shown (6 holes for 6 wall plugs  4 plugs for fixture), screw
the outer screws leaving a space of about 1 cm. between the screw
head and the ceiling (4).
 Fit an exhaust pipe inside the support (5) and connect it to the
motor compartment connection ring (exhaust pipe and fixing
brackets are not supplied).
 Hook the frame onto the 4 screws (6 - see also step 4).
 Tighten the 4 screws (7).
 Insert and tighten another 2 screws in the remaining free holes (8)
for secure fixing.
 Carry out the electrical connection (9) to the mains power supply,
only turn on the power supply upon completion of assembly.
