To Operate
Select the required fan speed and light
if required.
Recirculation
In the recirculation mode the
contaminated air enters the cooker
hood through the grease filters. The
air is cleaned by passing through the
charcoal filters before being passed
back into the kitchen through the grilles
in either side of the chimney stack.
Extraction
In the extraction mode the contaminated
air enters the cooker hood passing
through the grease filters and is passed
out through the ducting into the
atmosphere.
To obtain the best performance when
cooking it is advisable to switch the
cooker hood on for a few minutes before
you start cooking and leave it running
for about 15 minutes after finishing.
When used in the ducting mode the
charcoal filters are not required.
Never do flambé cooking under this
cooker hood.
Never leave frying pans unattended
during use, as over-heated fats and
oils can catch fire.
