GUIDELINES CONCERNING THE SAFETY OF USE
i
lThe manufacturer will
accept no responsibility
for any damage due to
installation or operation
not conforming to these
instructionsi
lCooker hood is desi-
gned to remove cooking
odours. Do not use co-
oker hood for other pur-
poses.
lConnect the cooker
hood operating in
extraction mode to a
suitable ventilation duct
(do NOT connect the
cooker to smoke or ue
gas ducts, which are in
use). It requires installa-
tion of the air extraction
duct to the outside. The
duct length (typically
120 or 150mm in diame-
ter) should not exceed
4-5 m. The air exhaust
duct is also required for
telescopic and under
furniture cooker hoods
operating in air recircu-
lation mode.
lCooker hood operating
in air recirculation mode
requires the installation
of an activated charcoal
lter. In this case, instal-
ling an extractor duct is
not required, however it
is recommended to in-
stall an air guide vane.
(chimney cooker hoods
only).
i
lThe cooker hood featu-
res independent lighting
and exhaust fan that
can be operated at one
of several speeds.
lDepending on the type,
the hood is designed to
be permanently atta-
ched to a vertical wall
over a gas or electric
stove (chimney and
universal hoods); on
the ceiling over a gas
or electric stove (island
hoods); on the vertical
built in furniture over
a gas or electric stove
(telescopic and built-in
hoods). Before instal-
ling, make sure that the
wall/ceiling structure is
strong enough to su-
spend the hood. Some
hoods are very heavy.

lFor details of the instal-
lation distance above an
electric hob please re-
fer to product technical
sheet If the installation
instructions of the gas
cooker specify a greater
distance, this must be
taken into account (Fig.
1a/b/c).
lDo not leave an open
ame under the hood.
When the pots are re-
moved from the burner,
set the minimum a-
me. Always make sure
that the ame does
not extend outside the
pot, because it causes
unwanted loss of ener-
gy and a dangerous
concentration of heat.
lAny food cooked in
fat shall be constantly
monitored, since over-
heated fat can ignite
very easily.
lPull the plug of the
power cord from a wall
socket before any lter
cleaning or repair op-
eration.
l The textile grease l-
ter should be replaced,
and the aluminium lter
should be cleaned at
least every one month
in connection with the
existing re danger
(saturated fat is very
ammable).
lIf any other non-electric
devices are used in the
same room as the hood
(e.g. liquid fuel ovens,
ow-through or volu-
metric water heaters), it
is necessary to provide
appropriate ventilation
(air supply). Safe op-
eration is possible when
during simultaneous op-
eration of the hood and
combustion devices de-
pendent 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 ap-
ply when the hood is
used as an odour ab-
sorber).
lDo not abut against the
hood
GUIDELINES CONCERNING THE SAFETY OF USE

lThe hood should be
frequently cleaned in-
side and on the outside
surfaces (at least once
a month). See “Clean-
ing section” in this man-
ual.
lIf the power wire gets
broken, it should be re-
placed with a new one in
a specialist repair shop.
lMake sure the ap-
pliance can be easily
disconnected from the
mains, either by pulling
the plug out of the mains
socket, or by switching
the two-pole switch off.
lThis appliance is not
intended for use by per-
sons (including children)
with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capa-
bilities, or lack of expe-
rience and knowledge,
unless they have been
given supervision or
instruction concerning
use of the appliance by
a person responsible for
their safety.
lChildren should be su-
pervised to ensure that
they do not play with the
appliance.
lCheck if the voltage
indicated on the rating
plate corresponds to
the local power supply
parameters.
lBefore installing un-
wind and straighten the
power cord.
lWarning! The pack-
aging materials (poly-
ethylene bags, small
pieces of foamed poly-
styrene etc.) should be
kept away from children
while unpacking.
lNOTE: Before con-
necting the hood to
the mains power sup-
ply always check that
the power cord is prop-
erly installed and is not
trapped by the appli-
ance. It is recommend-
ed to make sure the
hood operates correctly
before installation.
lNever use the hood wi-
thout effectively moun-
ted grating!
l The aming of foods
beneath the hood itself
is severely prohibited.
lWith regards to the
technical and safety
measures to be adop-
ted for fume discharging
it is important to closely
follow the regulations
provided by the local
authorities.

INSTALLATION
Elements
kitchen hood consists of the following elements
(Fig. 2...)
Installation
Step-by-step appliance installation is shown on Fig.
3...
GUIDELINES CONCERNING THE SAFETY OF USE
Setting the air extractor mode of operation of
the hood
In the extractor mode air is discharged to the out-
side by a special conduit. In that setting any carbon
lters shall be removed. The hood should be con-
nected to the opening discharging air to the outside
by means of a rigid or exible conduit of
120 mm diameter, which should be purchased in a
shop selling installation materials.
A qualied installer should be commissioned to
make the connection.
Setting the odour absorber mode of operation
of the hood
In this option ltered air returns to the room
through openings in the front of the hood.
In this setting it is necessary to install the carbon
lter. It is recommended to install the air guide
(availability depending on model).
In some universal hoods you need to switch lever
inside the hood (Fig. 8) to switch between the
extraction and air recirculation modes. The cle-
aned air is returned to the room through the holes
in the top of the unit.
Furniture and telescopic cooker hoods operating
in air recirculation mode require installation of the
exhaust duct. The other end of the duct should be
directed to the room as it will discharge ltered air.
Fan speeds
The lowest and medium speeds should be used
under normal conditions and with low concentration
of fumes. The maximum speed should be used in
case of high concentration of kitchen fumes, e.g.
during frying or grilling.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Use control panel to control your cooker hood (Fig. 4)
- 1, 2, 3 buttons control cooker hood fan speed in the range from 1 to 3,
- Lights “L” button switches cooker hood lights on/off independently of fan operation.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Maintenance
Regular maintenance and cleaning of the device
will ensure faultless operation, and help extend the
life of the unit. Attention should be paid to replacing
grease and carbon lters according to instructions.
Aluminium grease lter
Cleaning
For normal hood operation, aluminium grease lter
should be cleaned every month in the dishwasher
or by hand using a mild detergent or liquid soap.
To replace:
Dismantling of aluminium grease lter is shown on
Figure 5.
Acrylic lter is used in some models. This lter sho-
uld be replaced at least once every two months or
more frequently if the appliance is used intensively.
Charcoal lter (only the recirculation version)
Operation - Carbon lters can be used only when
the hood is not connected to any ventilation duct.
Filters with active carbon can absorb odours until
they are saturated. They cannot be washed or re-
generated and should be replaced at least every 2
months or more frequently in case of very intensive
use.
Replace:
Dismantling of charcoal lter is shown on Figure 6.
Lighting
See Figure 7 for details how to replace lights. Use
incandescent / halogen / LED modules of the same
specication as those factory-installed in the ap-
pliance.
Cleaning
Normal hood cleaning:
lDo not use a soaked cloth, sponge, or water
jet.
lDo not use solvents or alcohol, as they may
tarnish lacquered surfaces.
lDo not use caustic substances, especially for
cleaning stainless steel.
lDo not use a rough or abrasive cloth.
It is recommend to use a damp cloth and a neutral
detergent.
Aluminium lters may be washed in the dishwash-
er. The colour of aluminium lters may change after
several washings. This is normal and it is not nec-
essary to renew the lters.
