I Characteristics
OSC 6468W, OSC 5468W, OSC 6458I , OSC 5458I kitchen extractor hood was designed to
remove or neutralize kitchen fumes. It has to be installed permanently over a gas or electric
cooker. It requires installation of a conduit discharging used air to the outside if working in
fume removal mode. The conduit (a pipe Ø120 mm) shall not be longer than 4-5 m. The hood
can operate as an odour absorber after installation of an active carbon filter. In such case a
conduit discharging used air to the outside is not necessary. The kitchen hood is an electrical
appliance manufactured according to class II of fire protection, equipped with a permanent
supply cord and plug. It has its own lighting and an exhaust fan which can be set to one of
three rotational speeds.

V Installation
To install the hood perform the following operations:
1. mount the hood body [C],
2. connect the hood to power supply network.
1. Installation of the hood body
a) trace a vertical line on the wall to indicate the center of the cooker plate, dismantle the
grease filter, hold the hood body „A” to the wall with its indicated center point on the vertical
line, with the distance between the holes and the cooker plate at least 710 mm (Fig. 2). Note:
make sure that the hood body „A” is level. b) mark the locations of
fixing holes on the wall
c) drill the holes as
marked on the wall, using drills of
diameter corresponding to the
attached expansion plugs, drive the
plugs in and then screw the hood
body „A” to the wall (Fig. 3).

Po podlaczeniu do sieci elektrycznej (zgodnie z okreslonymi wczesniej wymaganiami) nalezy
sprawdzic poprawnosc dzialania silnika oraz oswietlenia okapu.
3. Setting the operation mode of the kitchen extractor hood
3.1 Setting the air extractor mode of operation of the hood
In the extractor mode air is discharged to the outside by a special conduit. In that
setting any carbon filters shall be removed. The hood should be connected to the opening
discharging air to the outside by means of a rigid or flexible conduit of 120 mm diameter,
which should be purchased in a shop selling installation materials.
A qualified installer should be commissioned to make the connection.
3.2 Setting the odour absorber mode of operation of the hood
In this option filtered air returns to the room through openings in the front of the hood.
In this setting it is necessary to install the carbon filter (Fig. 6).
III Components
OSC6468 W, OSC5468 W kitchen hood consists
of the following elements (Fig. 1):
Hood casing [A], provided with fan outlets [B] and
[F], set of switches [D], flange [C] for connecting
the ventilation conduit.
Fig. 1
IV Operating conditions
1. The kitchen hood was designed for removal of kitchen fumes to the outside. It should be
connected to an appropriate ventilation duct (do not connect the hood to any chimney, smoke
or flue-gas ducts which are in use).
2. The safe distance between a cooker plate and the kitchen hood should be at least 650 mm.
3. Do not leave open flame under the hood. When removing pots from the burners set the
flame to its minimum level.
4. Any food cooked in fat shall be constantly monitored, since
overheated fat can ignite very easily.
5. The textile grease filter should be replaced, and the aluminium
filter should be cleaned at least every 2 months in connection
with the existing fire danger (saturated fat is very flammable).
6. Pull the plug of the power cord from a wall socket before any
filter cleaning or repair operation.
7. If any other non-electric devices are used in the same room as
the hood (e.g. liquid fuel ovens, flow-through or volumetric
water heaters), it is necessary to provide appropriate ventilation
(air supply). Safe operation is possible when during
simultaneous operation of the hood and combustion devices
dependent on air supply the negative pressure of not more than
0.004 milibar is maintained at the location of these devices
inside the room (this point does not apply when the hood is used
as an odour absorber).
8. When connecting to 220V power supply network use an
electric socket in working order.

VI Operation and maintenance
1. Operational safety.
All safety instructions included in chapter IV must be observed. Textile grease filters and
carbon filters should be replaced and aluminium filter should be cleaned according to
manufacturer’s instructions, or more frequently in periods of intensive use (more than 4 hours
a day). If a gas cooker is used it is forbidden to leave uncovered flame. When removing pots
from gas burners set the flame to its minimum level. Always make sure that flame does not
extend outside the pot. Such a situation causes undesired energy losses and dangerous heat
build-ups. The hood should not be used for other purposes than those for which it was
designed.
2. Operation:
2.1 Control panel
Fig. 4
Operation of the hood can be controlled by means of switches „W” and „O” (Fig. 4):
-switch „O” controls lighting. Shifting the switch to the left turns the lighting on, to the right
-turns the lighting off.
-switch „W” is used to control the hood motor. Successive shifts to the left turn on three fan
operation speeds. These control options enable the user to set the optimum fan speed for his
requirements at minimum noise.
3. Maintenance.
Regular maintenance and cleaning of the device will guarantee its good and fault-less
operation, and extend its life. Attention should be paid to replacing grease and carbon filters
according to instructions.
3.1 Grease filter
a) replacement
The grease filter should be replaced at least every two
months during normal operation of the hood. The filter
can be dismantled by releasing its securing studs (Fig. 5),
keeping in mind that the filter has to be protected with
your hand during releasing the studs, removing catches D
which secure the filters (Fig. 6), then you can replace the
filter and reinstall the catches and the mesh.
Fig. 5
3.2 Carbon filter
a) operation
Carbon filters (C Fig. 6) can absorb odours
until they are saturated. They cannot be
washed or regenerated and should be
replaced at least every 2 months or more
frequently in case of very intensive use.
b) replacement
-remove masking cover A (Fig. 6) together
with grease filter B,
-replace carbon filter C situated on the
textile filter B,
Fig. 6
-install the grease filter with the carbon filter in the hood.
3.3 Lighting
The lighting system consists of 40 W power light bulb.
To replace a light bulb proceed as follows:
a) remove the masking cover A from the hood body (see section 3.1 a)
b) replace the bulb using a piece of cloth or paper for that purpose,
c) install the masking cover A.
3.4 Cleaning
When cleaning your hood never use:
-solvents or alcohols which might dull lacquered surfaces
-caustic or abrasive substances, particularly for cleaning stainless steel surfaces
It is recommended to us moist cloth and liquid neutral cleaning agents.
