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.
• 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 installer
• When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a
150mm diameter duct.
•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 650 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 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:

5
- 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
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)

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 hood’s front panel:
1- Mains switch, ON/OFF
Press for less than 1 1/2 seconds and the cooker hood goes into
the "stand by" position (point "b" is illuminated).
Press for more than 1 1/2 seconds and the cooker hood turns off,
ALL the controls (except the light push button) are disabled (the
display is off).
Press again for more than 1 1/2 seconds to reset the cooker
hood to "stand by".
2- Light ON/OFF
3- Display
4- Start and choice of motor speed 1-2-3-1-2.........
5- Intensive speed on/off. The Intensive speed runs for 5 minutes:
If the hood is on when the Intensive speed is activated, the hood
will revert to previous speed after 5 minutes.
If the hood is off when the Intensive speed is activated, the hood
will automatically turn off after 5 minutes.
To interrupt the Intensive speed, press button 1or 5.
The letter P appears on the display and the remaining time (the
point “a” is flashing), if interrupted an acoustic signal is heard.
6- Self-Timer: times all the speed levels (the point “b” is flashing),
and then the cooker hood switches off:
The self-timer is set as follows: 1st speed level 20 minutes
2nd speed level 15 minutes
3rd speed level 10 minutes
The display shows the remaining operation time, at the end of the
time an acoustic signal is heard. Depressing the push-button
again exits the function.
Should the hood or the controls fail to operate: disconnect the power
supply for at least 5 seconds. After reconnecting the power supply wait
15 seconds and then check that the cooker hood is now operating
correctly.

saturation indicator will be disabled.
If the hood is to be used with a charcoal filter, the saturation
indicator light must be enabled as follows:
Press buttons 4and 5simultaneously and hold them for 3 seconds. At
first only the grease filter LED Fwill light up, but when the charcoal
filter LED Clights up the saturation indicator will be enabled.
To disable it: Press buttons 4and 5again simultaneously and hold
them for 3 seconds, until the charcoal filter LED goes out.
Grease filter LED (F)
LED Fwill start to flash when it is time to clean the grease filter.
Cleaning will be necessary after 40 working hours. Always comply
with the maintenance instructions for the grease filter.
Charcoal filter LED (C)
The charcoal filter LED Cwill start to flash when the charcoal filter
needs to be replaced.
This operation is necessary after approximately 160 working hours.
Resetting the saturation indicator
After cleaning or replacing the filters, press button 1for 3 seconds until
the grease filter LED For the charcoal filter LED Cstops flashing.

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.
Removing the metal grease filter
• First, push the metal grease filter stop
backwards, then extract the filter, pulling
downwards. Fig. 3.
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).
Fig. 3

Charcoal filter
• 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 Centre).
•Cleaning/replacing the charcoal filter
Unlike other charcoal filters, the LONGLIFE charcoal filter can be
cleaned and reactivated. With normal use the filter should be
cleaned every second month (when using the hood 2,5 hours per
day,on avarage). The best way to clean the filter is in the
dishwasher. Use normal detergent and choose the highest tempera-
ture (65º C). Wash the filter separately so that no food parts gets
stuck on the filter and later causes bad odours. To reactivate the
charcoal, the filter should be dried in an oven for 10 minutes with a
maximum temperature of 100º C.
After approximately three years of use, the charcoal filter should be
replaced with a new, as the odour reduction capacity will be reduced.
•Fitting
Remove the frame iwhich supports the filter hby turning 90° the
two knobs g.
Insert the charcoal filter inside the frame and put all parts back in
their place. Fig. 4.
•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
registration plate located on the inside of the unit.
• The charcoal filter can be ordered from your local Service Centre.
