Safety instructions
- You should never "flambé" dishes under the hood or operate gas rings under
the hood without cooking utensils being placed on them (the flames sucked up
into the hood can damage the appliance).
- When frying food under the appliance, a careful watch must be kept on this at all times.
- Repairs must only be carried out by an approved specialist.
- You should regularly clean the filter cartridge.
- The hood should never be used over a combustible fuel burning stove (wood, coal, etc).
These hoods have been designed for non-commercial use in private homes.
With a view to constantly improving our products, we reserve the right to modify their
technical, functional or aesthetic characteristics, making any changes to their features
considered necessary or desirable in view of technical progress.

The controls on your hood Fig.1
In the case of a kitchen heated by a device connected to a chimney (for
example a stove) the "recycling" version of the hood should be installed. Do not
use the hood without metal filters.
Suitable ventilation should be ensured for the room when the suction hood is used at
the same time as appliances using gas or another combustible fuel.

The hood must be installed in conformity with the applicable regulations
concerning the ventilation of premises. In France, these regulations are
detailed in DTU 61.1 from the CSTB. In particular, the evacuated air must not
be channelled into a duct used to evacuate fumes from appliances using gas or
other combustible fuels. Disused ducts may only be used after approval from a
competent specialist.
The minimum distance between the cooking surface and the lowest part of the
hood must be 70 cm. If the instructions for the hob installed under the hood
specify a distance of more than 70 cm, this requirement must be respected.
Installing your hood ?
If you possess an outlet to the exterior:fig. 4
Your hood can be connected to this using a flue (minimum Ø 125 mm, enamelled, made from
aluminium, flexible or made from a non-flammable material). If your flue is below 125 mm in
diameter, you must obligatorily use the "recycling" mode.
If you do not possess an outlet to the exterior: fig. 5
All of our appliances can be used in recycling mode.
In this case, you should add an active carbon filter which will keep in odours.
- Draw a horizontal line 70 cm minimum from the cooktop.
- Draw a vertical line on the wall running from the ceiling to the lower edge of the hood.
- Place the mounting hole template against the wall (fig. 2).
- Drill the 6 holes. Insert the 6 wall plugs.
- Screw up the top two screws of the hood, but not completely - allow them to
protrude by 5 mm.
- Remove the metal filter.
- Attach the suction hood to the two screws (fig. 3).
- Screw up the two screws at the bottom.
Assembling your hood
Connecting up your hood
This appliance is delivered with a H 05 VVF power cable with 2 conduc-
tors of 0.75 mm2 (neutral, live). This must be
connected to the 220-240 V single phase mains network via a CEI 60083
standard plug which must remain accessible following installation. We will
not be liable in the event of an accident arising following incorrect installation.
The fuse for your installation must be 10 or 16A. If the power cable is dama-
ged, call the after sales service department in order to avoid danger.
Adjust the level of your hood before fully tightening up all four screws.

Assembling the chimney
Hood to be used with external evacuation : fig. 4 and 8
- Attach the metal chimney bracket to the wall, also placing this against the ceiling (fig. 6).
Take care in aligning the 2 triangular slots on the metal bracket with the vertical line on the wall.
- In the case of a flue with a diameter of 125 mm, use the adapter supplied (fig. 8).
If your exterior duct is below 125 mm, you must obligatorily connect your hood in
recycling mode
- Prepare your telescopic chimney taking care to block off the vents (fig. 8).
Fit the chimneys into one another as far as they will go.
- Fit the upper part to the metal bracket.
- Adjust the length of the telescopic chimney by bringing down the lower part and fitting it to the
top of the hood.
Hood to be used in "recycling" mode: fig. 5 and 9
- It is possible to remove the back flow valves.
- Fit the plastic smoke deflector to the wall also placing this against the ceiling.
Take care to centre the deflector vis-à-vis the vertical line drawn on the wall (fig. 7).
- Prepare your chimney taking care to place the vents toward the top to ensure that
they are visible (fig. 9).
- Fit the upper part to the plastic deflector.
- Adjust the length of the telescopic chimney by bringing down the lower part and fitting it into
the top of the hood.
To ensure optimal use of your device, we advise that you connect a flue with a
diameter of 150 mm (not supplied). Limit the number of angles and bends as
far as possible, and keep the length of the flue to a minimum. In the event
that the hood will be functioning using exterior evacuation, you should ensure
a sufficient inlet of fresh air to avoid a pressure deficiency in the room.
Changing the lamp ?
1. Remove metal filters (fig. 10).
2. Unscrew then change the E14-40W bulb (fig. 11).
3. Replace the metal filters.
Before carrying out any work, the power supply to the hood must be turned off,
either by unplugging it or by using the circuit breaker switch,

Dismantling the filter cartridge
(fig. 10)
Assembling the carbon filter
(fig. 12)
1. Remove the cartridges.
2. Place the carbon filter on the cartridge, on the inner side of the hood.
3. Fit the 2 fastener clips.
4. Repeat this operation on all of the cartridges.
Cleaning your hood ?
The power supply to the hood must be turned off either by removing the plug or
by using the circuit breaker switch before you remove the metal filters. After
cleaning, the metal filters must be refitted in conformity with the instructions.
MAINTENANCE
WHY?
HOW ?
VITAL EVERY MONTH VITAL EVERY YEAR
This filter traps fatty vapours and dust. This
component plays an important part in
ensuring the effectiveness of your hood.
This filter traps odours and must be
changed at least once a year
depending on your level of use.
Use a commercial household cleaning product then
rinse abundantly and dry. This cleaning can be
carried out in your dishwasher in the vertical posi-
tion (ensure that the cartridge never comes
into contact with dirty crockery or silver
tableware).
You should order these filters from
your dealer (quoting the reference
shown on the ID plate located
inside the hood) and note the date
the filter was changed.
FILTER CARTRIDGE ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER
Never use metal scouring pads, abrasive products or excessively stiff brushes.
To clean the body and the lighting port, you should use only commercial household cleaning products
diluted in water and then rinse using clean water, drying with a soft cloth.
Remove the protective film before using the
filter cartridge for the first time.
For hoods installed in
"recycling" mode.
To avoid all risks of fire.
