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
150mm diameter hose.
Attention: The hose is not supplied and must be purchased
separately.
 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 respect the following
minimum distance from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring
surfaces:
electric cookers 500 mm
gas cookers 700 mm
The hood can be installed above these heights but for optimum
performance it should be installed at the distance quoted for the
appropriate heat source.
 The national Standard on fuel-burning systems specifies a maxi-
mum depression of 0.04 mbar in such rooms.
 The air outlet must not be connected to chimney flues or combus-
tion 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.

48
 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 diam-
eter 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.
 In some models the charcoal filter is supplied. The hood, therefore,
can be used immediately in the
recirculation mode. We advise
removing the charcoal filter to use
the hood in the extraction mode.
Extraction
 In this version fumes are extracted
to the outside via a hose connected
to the coupling ring. Fig. 1.
 In order to obtain the best perfor-
mance 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. Fig. 2.
 You will need an original charcoal
filter for the filtering function. (See
Special Accessories).

50
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.
 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.

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 mild deter-
gent.
 Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products.
 Never insert pointed objects in the motors protective grid.
 Wash the outside surfaces using a delicate detergent solution.
Never use caustic detergents or abrasive brushes or powders.
 Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grill using a damp cloth
and delicate detergents.
 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 recycling function.
Attention: the metal grease filters must be removed and washed,
either by hand or in the dishwasher, every four weeks.
Removing the meta grease fi ter
 Pull the handle downwards. Fig. 4.
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 have any impact
on its performance.
 Clean the inner housing using a hot detergent solution only (never
use caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes).
Charcoa fi ter
 The charcoal filter should only be used if you want to use the hood
in the recirculation function.
 To do this you will need an original charcoal filter (available from
your local Service Force Centre).
 This filter cannot be cleaned or reused.
As a general rule, the charcoal filter(s) should be changed
once every four months.
Fitting.
Remove the frame pushing the two side release keys "a".
Fig. 5a-b.
Fit each charcoal filter so to cover the plastic grid that
protect the fan wheel, then turn clockwise the central handle
of the charcoal filter. Fig. 6.
Refit the frame (snap into place).
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.
