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 installer
 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 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.

55
 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.
 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
he 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.
Recirculation 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).
 Fix the deflector using 2 screws Ø
2,9x13 mm. Fig. 2.
 Optionally, the position of the chimney
elements can be changed.
When using the hood in the
recirculation mode the chimney must
be fixed at the top, with the air outlet
grill at the side.

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, 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- OFF  ON push button
Press once or more to obtain the function desired:
ON: the hood switches on to the last speed selected.
OFF: all the functions are switched off except the illumination.
B - Speed selection push button (extraction power).
Press this push button once or more to select the most suitable
extraction speed (power) (1-2-3).
C - The display shows the extraction power selected, signalling the
saturation of the filters (F).
D- 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.
E- Light ON/OFF
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.

Grease and charcoal filter 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 OFF.
Pressing keys B and D simultaneously for three seconds, LED F lights
up and begins to flash the 1st speed led. After 1 second the 2nd speed
led also flashes and the system emits a sound signal (-Beep-) to
indicate setting taking place.
To remove the charcoal filter signal press push buttons B and D
simultaneously for 3 seconds. LED F lights up and begins to flash the
1st speed led (grease filter) and the 2nd speed led. After 1 second, only
the 1st speed led continues to flash. The system emits a sound signal
(-Beep-) to indicate setting taking place.
Grease filter LED
The 1st speed led (+ led F) flashes, when it is time to clean the grease
filter.
Always comply with the maintenance instructions for the grease filter.
Charcoal filter LED
The 2nd speed led (+ led F) flashes, when the charcoal filter needs to
be cleaned or replaced.
Resetting the saturation indicator
After cleaning or replacing the filters, press button A for 3 seconds until
the 1st speed led or the second speed led stops flashing.
The F LED also turns off..

Maintenance and Care
he hood must always be disconnected from the electricity
supply before beginning any maintenance work.
Cleaning 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.
Metal grease filter
 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. epeat the process if
necessary. efit 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.
epeat the process. efit
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).

Charcoal filter
 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 LONGLIFE 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 - Fig. 4
Put the charcoal filter frame in place and fix it with 5 screws.
Fit the charcoal filter first from the rear side and fix it frontwards
using the two red keys A.
o 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.
