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

For the installer
• When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a
120mm 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 430 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.

6
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.
• 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
• The switches are mounted on the upper right side of the
visor (Fig. 1 - E).
The numbers and symbols have the following meanings (from left to
right):
The fan is controlled by moving the sliding switch.
The extractor part (visor) of the hood is used to switch the fan on
and off when the appliance is switched on (Motor).
When the visor of the appliance is withdrawn, the fan automatically
switches on.
If the visor is pushed in without operating the switches, the fan is
switched off.
The lighting can be separately switched on and off with the slide
switch.
Turn the hood on a few minutes before you start cooking then you will
get an underpressure in the kitchen. It should be left on after cooking
for about 15 minutes or until all odours have disappeared.

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
• Pull out the visor, remove the rear grease filter pulling the handle
designed for this purpose, then proceed in the same way to remove
the front grease filter. Fig. 2.
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. 2

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).
•Replacing the charcoal filter Type 150
This filter cannot be cleaned or reused.
As a general rule, the activated charcoal filter should be changed
once every 4 months.
•Cleaning/replacing the charcoal filter Type 150 LONG LIFE
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
1. Pull out the visor (Fig. 1 - E).
2. Remove first the rear then the front grease filters.
3. Insert the charcoal filter into the lugs of the frame above using the
2 red clips to retain it, press the red clips inwards, and insert the
charcoal filter in the frame. Fig. 3.
•Removing:
1. Press both red lugs upwards (towards the inside of the housing)
and remove the charcoal filter downwards.
2. Clean the internal housing only with warm washing-up liquid’ suds
(never use any abrasive cleaners, brushes, or scouring agents).
• 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.
