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 (take the cartridge fuse out of the fuse holder or switch off the
automatic circuit breaker).
•It is very important to clean the hood and replace the filter 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.
• Older children must be supervised if using the appliance.
• 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 hose
having preferably the same diameter as the outlet hole.
Attention: The hose is not supplied and must be purchased
separately.
• When installing the hood, make sure you observe the following
minimum distance from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring
surfaces:
electric cookers 500 mm
gas cookers 750 mm
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater
distance, this must be adhered to.
• 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 local authorities.
• When the unit is used in extraction mode, 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 recirculation mode, 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 extraction mode, the following rules
must be followed to obtain optimal operation:
- short and straight outlet hose
- keep bends in outlet hose to a minimum

42
- never install the hoses with an acute angle, they must always
follow a gentle curve.
- keep the hose as large as possible (preferably the same diameter
as the outlet hole).
- the length should be no more than:
3 metres with one 90° bend
2 metres with two 90° bends
Bends of more than 90° will reduce the efficiency of the hood and
reduce the airflow.
• Failure to observe these basic instructions will drastically reduce the
performance and increase the noise levels of the extractor hood.

43
Description of the Appliance
• The hood is supplied with an electric valve placed on the Aoutlet. It
is used in the suction variant and connected to a peripheral suction
unit.
• In this mode fumes are extracted to the outside via a hose
connected to the coupling ring A. Fig. 1.
• In order to obtain the best performance the hose should have a
diameter equal to the outlet hole.
Control Panel
Use the key to the side of the extractable drawer to switch the lights
on.
Extract or re-close the extractable drawer to open and close the
electric valve.
Note: opening and closing the valve is not immediate.
• Turn the hood on a few minutes before you start cooking.
The hood should be left on after cooking for about 15 minutes or
until all the odours have disappeared.

Maintenance and Care
•The hood must always be disconnected from the electricity
supply before beginning any maintenance work.
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.
The grease filter is inside the suction grill.
• Opening the inlet grill: Open the grill by turning the right-hand
closing mechanism clockwise and the one on the left anti-clockwise
Fig. 2
Attention! If removing the grill is difficult check that the drawer has
been completely opened.
• Remove the filter holder and extract the grease filter. 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).

Warning
• Failure to observe the instructions on cleaning the unit and changing
the filters will cause a fire hazard. You are therefore strongly
recommended to follow these instructions.
• The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to the
motor or any fire damage linked to inappropriate maintenance or
failure to observe the above safety recommendations.
Changing the light bulbs
•Disconnect the cooker hood from the mains supply.
• Extract the extractable drawer.
• Remove the suction grill.
• Replace the old bulb with a new one of the same type.
• Re-mount the suction grill.
• If the light does not come on, make sure the bulb has been inserted
in correctly before contacting your local Service Force Centre.
Cleaning the hood
• Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a solution of
water and mild washing up liquid.
• Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products or
products containing bleach. .
• Never insert pointed objects in the motor’s protective grid.
• Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grill using a damp cloth
and mild washing up liquid.
• It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the filters at
the recommended intervals. Failure to do so will cause grease
deposits to build up that could constitute a fire hazard.
