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.
•It is very important to clean the hood and to perform
maintenance and care of filters 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.

For the installer
• When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a
150mm diameter duct.
•When installing the hood observe the following minimum
distances from the cooking top:
Electric cooking hobs 300mm.
• 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 authorities.
• When the unit is used in its extractor version, 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.
• If the hood is used in its filtering function, 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 extractor function, the following rules
must be followed to obtain optimal operation:
- short and straight outlet ducting
- keep bends in outlet ducting to a minimum
- never install the ducts with an acute angle, they must always follow
a gentle curve.
- keep the duct as large as possible (preferably the same diameter

5
as the outlet hole).
• 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 version by fitting a charcoal filter.
Extraction version
• In this version fumes are extracted to the outside via a duct
connected to the coupling ring A. Fig. 1.
• In order to obtain the best performance the ducting should have a
diameter equal to the outlet hole.
Recirculation Version
• The air is filtered through charcoal filters and returned to the kitchen.
• You will need original charcoal filters for the recirculation function.
(Available from your local Service Centre).
• Fix the deflector using 2 screws Ø 3.5x9.5 mm. Fig. 2.

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.
• Cooker hood operation can also be controlled
using the remote control (the remote control is an
accessory and may be ordered separately).
The control panel consists of a knob and 2 LEDs; it is
located at the bottom right-hand side of the cooker
hood.
•To switch the lights on and off:
Press and release the knob to switch the lights on; press and
release it again to switch them off.
Note: in some models it is possible to select one of 2 different
lighting intensity levels.
•To select an available suction speed (power) level:
Turn the knob in a clockwise direction to increase the suction speed
(power); turn it in an anticlockwise direction to decrease the power
until the hob is switched off.
The cooker hood is fitted with an LED (L1) which indicates the
suction speed (power) selected by displaying different colours:
•Light off:
Suction motor switched off.
•Fixed green light:
Cooker hood operating at power level 1 (minimum).
•Fixed orange light:
Cooker hood operating at power level 2 (medium).
•Fixed red light:
Cooker hood operating at power level 3 (maximum).
•Flashing red light:
Cooker hood operating at an intensive power level (for a duration of
5 minutes, after which the appliance automatically selects power
level 3).

Filter checking device
The cooker hood is fitted with a device which indicates when the filter
must be cleaned or replaced.
Usually the device, which signals when the carbon filter needs
maintenance work, is deactivated.
To activate it, proceed as follows:
Switch off the cooker hood.
Press and hold the knob for approximately 5 seconds.
The L2 LED begins to flash in green and after approximately 2
seconds the L2 LED will also begin to flash in orange, to indicate that
the device, which indicates when it is necessary to perform carbon
filter maintenance, has been activated.
L2 LED - grease filter indicator
The LED lights up in green when the grease filter needs to be cleaned;
this happens approximately every 40 hours of operation.
Every time the cooker hood is used, check whether the L2 LED is lit.
L2 LED - carbon filter indicator
The LED lights up in orange when the carbon filter needs to be
cleaned/replaced; this happens approximately every 160 hours of
operation.
Every time the cooker hood is used, check whether the L2 LED is lit.
Resetting the filter saturation warning
After cleaning or replacing the filters, switch on the cooker hood at any
suction speed (power), then press and hold the knob for more than 3
seconds, until you hear a beep indicating that the reset procedure has
been performed successfully. The L2 LED and the cooker hood both
switch off.
In some situations (for example, when the L2 LED is indicating that
the grease filters and the carbon filter are saturated), the procedure
described above must be repeated.

Maintenance and Care
•The 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 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 control panel and filter grille using a damp cloth
and delicate detergents.
• It is very important to clean the hood and to perform maintenance
and care of filters at the recommended intervals. Failure to do so
could cause grease deposits to build up, resulting in a fire hazard.
• Clean the inner housing using a hot detergent solution only (never
use caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes).
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.
• To access the grease filter,
first remove the front panels
which conceal the grease
filter.
Removing the front
panels:
Extract the small panel,
rotate upwards and unhook.
Repeat the operation for all
the small panels. Fig. 4.

Removing the metal grease filter
Pull the handle downards, then extract the filter.Fig. 5.
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 hand hot solution only(never use
caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes).
