Guide to use the Instructions
The following symbols will be found in the text to
guide you throughout the Instructions:
Safety instructions.
Step by step instructions for an operation.
The cooker hood may only be used in a private household and for normal cooking purposes. It fulfils
international safety regulations and standards of quality. All precautionary measures however cannot fully
eliminate all the accident risks.
Therefore you should read through instructions, advises and safety instructions carefully before you install and
start using the cooker hood. Pay special attention to sentences with a warning triangle to avoid damages to
person or property. Save the instruction boook for future reference if the cooker hood is sold or left to another
person.
Installation and service
•Any electrical installation of the cooker hood must
be carried out by a qualified electrician and the hood
itself must be installed by someone with experience.
Installation made by an unqualified person can lead
to loss of function of the cooker hood and possible
damage to person and/or property.
•The cooker hood must be at least 50 cm above
electric burners or electric range, or at least 60 cm
above gas burners or gas range.
•Ensure that the power cord does not get squeezed
at the installation.
•The cooker hood is only currentless when the plug
or the fuse is disconnected.
•Note that the exhaust air must not be conducted
through a flue which is used for fume extraction
from any other non-electrical appliances such as oil
burner or wood stove.
Use of cooker hood
•Never leave any deep-frying, melting fat,
paraffin or any other inflammable unattended on
the hob. If event of fire: Immediately switch off
the cooker hood and the cooker. Note! Cover
the fire. Never use water.
•Never do any flambé cooking underneath the
cooker hood. It can cause a fire. Remember that
overheated fat may spontaneously ignite. Never
leave the fraying pan unattended.
•It is essential that the grease filter is regularly
cleaned to avoid fat to drip on to the hot zone
and cause fire. Read also the part
“Maintenance and Cleaning” in the instruction
book.
Disposal
•Prevent accidents when disposing your cooker
hood. Disconnect the power plug from the wall
socket and cut the power cord at the hood inlet.
Contact your local authority for information on
where to dispose the cooker hood.

Functions
There are two possible systems:
•Extraction of air to outside using optional
venting kit and evacuation duct.
•Recirculation using optional carbon filter.
The cooker hood cannot be connected to
flues of other appliances that run on
energy sources other than electricity.
Please, keep to the provisions of official
directives regarding the question of
fumes discharge.
Accessories
The following are included with the cooker hood:
• Mounting set: 8 pcs 5x30 mm screws, 2 pcs
M4x10 mm screws, 2 pcs M4x14 mm screws, 2 pcs
washers, 2 pcs Spacers, 8 pcs 10 mm wall dowels,
2 pcs chimney support and 2 pcs cold air valve.
•Instruction book.
Following is ordered from retailer:
• Venting kit: When the cooker hood is to be
connected to an evacuation channel use the venting
kit containing one ventilation pipe, one roof
connecting metal flange and two clamps.
PNC 391 414 201.
• LONG LIFE carbon filter: The carbon filter is to be
used when the hood is connected to the
recirculation system.
For new installations: PNC 391 834 205.
Replacements (after approx. 3 years):
PNC 391 837 005.
• Extended chimney: Used in kitchens with higher
roof heights. The cooker hood’s total height
increases with 400 mm. PNC 391 839 301.
Use the carbon filter. When you use the
carbon filter, the air is purified within the
cooker hood and recirculated back into
the room, so heated air is not lost. It can
be a good idea to use the carbon filter in
winter and normal air extraction to a duct
in summer.

Correct ventilation
If the cooker hood should be working correctly
there must be an underpressure in the kitchen. It is
important to keep the kitchen windows closed and
have a window in an adjacent room open.
Using the cooker hood
The control panel
The control panel is on the front of the hood. Best
results are obtained by using low speed for normal
conditions and high speed when smells and steam are
more concentrated.
Lighting switch, on and off.
On and Off switch.
Speed adjustment switch.
Switch for intensive speed. The intensive speed
will last for about 5 minutes, the time can vary a
little and it can not be changed. The intensive
speed function can be turned off before 5
minutes by pressing the intensive speed switch
once again. If the hood was on before the
intensive speed was started it will automatically
return to the previous speed after five minutes or
when you turn off the intensive speed. If the hood
was off before the intensive speed was turned
on, it will automatically stop. Use the intensive
speed function to expel the last of the cooking
smells.
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 steam and smells have
disappeared.
Maintenance and cleaning
Important to know
Great care must be taken if the hood is used at the
same time as a burner or fireplace (e.g. gas,
diesel, coal or wood heaters, water heaters, etc.),
as the hood will expel air which is required by
these other appliances. Attend to it by opening a
window. Not applicable for cooker hoods used in
recirculation mode.
Cleaning the hood
Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth
and a mild detergent. Never use corrosive,
abrasive or flammable cleaning products. The
control panel may only be cleaned with a lightly
damped cloth.
Cleaning the grease filters
Clean the filter every month or every other month
according to how much the hood is used. The cleaner
the filters, the better it collects grease. Remove the
filter by (Fig. 1):
Grab hold of the handle and push the filter
backward.
Pull the filter down at the front and remove it
forward.
The filter is made of aluminium wires on which the
grease collects. Clean the filter in hot water using a
detergent, or in a dishwasher. Let the filter dry before
putting it back. Note that a dishwasher may discolour
the filter.
Clean the filter regularly. The grease that
collects in the filter and the duct could
ignite if a hot plate is left on (or if
overheating occurs).
Fig. 1
Before doing any maintenance work on the
hood, disconnect it from the main supply by
disconnecting the plug from the wall socket or
unscrewing the fuse.
Do not operate the fan at a higher speed
than necessary. The low speeds are
adequate for ordinary requirements while
cooking. The high speeds should be used
only if food has burnt while cooking, or for
other strong fumes.
Clean the filter frequently. A clean filter
minimises the motor load, which helps the fan
to function more efficiently.

Fig. 2
Cleaning the motor cover
It is also possible to clean the motor cover (Fig. 2):
Remove the chimney (see mounting).
Unscrew the three screws on the front and unhook
the front cover (A).
Remove the soundproofing (B).
Push the snaps (D) up on the plastic middle wall
(C).
Unhook the plastic middle wall from the back edge of
the motor cover (E).
The fan wheel is attached to the motor with a bayonet
joint. Use gloves when removing the fan wheel. Hold
the motor with one hand and the fan wheel with the
other. Turn the wheel clockwise. Clean all the plastic
and metal parts with warm water and washing dergent.
Clean the soundproofing carefully using a damp cloth.
Replace in reverse order. Note! Do not tighten the
three screws at the front too hard.
Fig. 3
Changing the light
Turn off the power with the main switch before
changing the light.
Remove the lamp cover by unscrewing the 3
screws (Fig. 3). The screws have a slot adjusted
to a coin.
Replace the damaged part with one of equal
rating.
To remove the light without damaging it, place a
finger on the end of the light and pull gently.
Cleaning/changing the carbon filter
Unlike other carbon filters, the LONG LIFE carbon filter
can be cleaned and reactivated. The filter should be
cleaned every other month if used normally. The filter
is best cleaned in a dishwasher at the highest
temperature using normal washer detergent. The filter
should be washed on its own to prevent particles of
food from fastening in it and then causing an
unpleasant smell later on. To reactivate the carbon the
filter should be dried in the oven. Chose upper/lower
heat and maximum 100° C and dry the filter for 10
minutes. Read also the filter instructions.
The filter should be changed after about 3 years as its
ability to absorb smells has reduced by then. The filter
insert is removed from the frame and is replaced with a
new one (according to the filter instructions).
Changing the cord
If the cord to the cooker hood is damaged it must
be replaced by an approved service company. This
is because special tools are required for the job.
If the cooker hood does not function
Before calling for service
Check the plug is correctly connected to the wall
socket. Check the fuse. Do not attempt any repairs
yourself that are likely to lead to further damage. If the
problem remains, contact your dealer or an approved
service company. Remember to save your purchase
receipt and warranty card (only used in some
countries).
Service and spare parts
Your dealer or service company will supply you
with service and spare parts. Be sure you have the
product number and model name at hand when
ordering service or parts.

Mounting the chimney support
(Fig. 6):
On the wall you mark were to drill the holes due to
the measures. Drill the holes with a 8 mm drill at the
marked points and fit the 10 mm wall dowels into
the holes. (only applicable for mounting on wall of
concrete). Note! All screws are placed in two
vertical lines.
Fix the chimney support (A) on the wall as close to
the ceiling as possibe. Use the screws (B) 2 pcs.
5x30 mm.
Fix the screws (C) 2 pcs. 5x30 mm with the spacers
(D) on the wall. The spacers (D) must be able to
rotate so leave about 2 mm distance between the
spacers and the wall.
Fix the lower chimney support (E) with the screws
(F) 2 pcs. 5x30 mm on the wall. The two lugs placed
on the outside of the screws (F) should be bent
forward.
Fix the screws (G) 2 pcs. 5x30 mm on the wall.
Leave about 5 mm distance between the screws
and the wall.
Mounting the cooker hood (Fig. 7):
Hang the cooker hood on the screws (G) in the key
holes (H) on the hood.
Fix the screws (I) 2 pcs. M4x10 mm with the
washers (J) 2 pcs. in the motor cover of the cooker
hood.
Tighten the screws (G) placed in the key holes (H).
Connect the plug in the wall power outlet. The
cooker hood may only be connected with an earth
connection wall power outlet.
If the cooker hood will be connected to an evacuation
channel you perform it as shown in Fig. 11 (Not
applicable for recirculation).
Fig. 9
Fig. 8
Mounting the chimney (Fig. 8,9):
Fix the upper chimney (K) with the screws (L) 2 pcs.
M4x14 mm on the upper chimney support. The
screws (L) have a slot adjusted to a coin. If you
don’t want to see the evacuation holes (M) you can
turn the upper chimney up side down (Not
applicable for recirculation).
To mount the lower chimney (N) you carefully draw
apart the sides (O) and push the chimney round the
upper part. Be careful not to scratch the upper
chimney.
Adjust the lower chimney (N) so that the lugs (O) fits
behind the spacers (D-Fig. 6).
At service or cleaning you remove the chimney and the
cooker hood in reverse order.
Electrical connection
The electric outlet should be placed inside the
chimney. The hood has a power cord and moulded
plug with earth connection for a wall outlet of 230V.
The power cord is 1 m long.

49
Fig. 11
Fig. 10
Mounting the cold air valve (Fig. 10):
Not applicable for recirculation. The hood can be fitted
with a cold air valve. The cold air valve consists of two
valves fitted into the hood outlet. If there is no other
form of ventilation to expel air from the kitchen than the
hood, the outer end of the valves should be clipped off
and removed. Bend the valves so that the guides slide
into the attachment holes in the hood outlet. Make sure
the spoke-pattern side of the valves faces upwards.
Insert a pen or something similar between the valves.
These should open up easily now. If they do not, check
that neither of the valves is upside down or has come
out of the attachment hole.
Mounting the venting kit (Fig. 11):
A complete venting kit is available as an optional extra.
The ventilation pipe (A) is pulled over the hood’s
evacuation flange (B) and is held firmly in place with a
clamp. Make sure the pipe is as straight as possible
and does not hinder the movement of the valve flaps.
The pipe is connected to the mouth of the duct with the
metal flange (C) which is included in the kit.
Fitting the carbon filter
Only applicable for recirculation. The LONG LIFE
carbon filter (special accessory) for this hood is fitted
instead of the grease filter. The LONG LIFE carbon
filter is both a grease and carbon filter for reduction of
cooking smells.
Extend the duct hose correctly. A duct
hose which is too long or has too many
bends can reduce cooker hood efficiency
by fifty per cent. Shorten the hose if it is
too long, and avoid unnecessary bends in
it.
