Installation and appliance care
All electrical installation operations must be
carried out by a qualified electrician and the
hood itself must be installed by a skilled
professional. A hood that has been installed
by an unqualified person may lead to
malfunctioning, and even personal or material
damage.
The hood must be installed at a minimum of
40 cm above an electric hob or cooker and at
least 65 cm above gas burners or a gas cooker.
During installation, make sure the electrical
po er supply cable is left completely free and
in perfect condition.
The electrical po er supply to the hob is only
cut off hen the po er supply cable is
unplugged or the fuse is disconnected.
The la s and regulations applicable to the
method used for the vented air outlet must be
observed. For example, the exhaust air must
not be vented to ards ducts used for
combustion flue gases, po ered by a type of
energy other than electricity, such as fuel-oil
boilers and ood-fired stoves.

Operation
The hood can operate in t o ays:
 By venting the air outside, using the flue kit
and flue duct.
 By re-circulating the air, using a charcoal
filter (filter sold separately).
The hood must not be connected to a flue
duct used for the flue gases originating
from appliances that do not run on
electricity.
Use the charcoal filter. The charcoal filter
purifies the air that circulates throughout
the hood; this hot air is then re-introduced
into the appliance in order to avoid all
energy astage. It is preferable to use the
re-circulation mode in inter and the
vented mode in summer.

Hood Use
Turning off the hood
Press the fan s itch for at least 3 seconds. The fan
motor is consequently turned off but the light
continues to operate normally. To turn on the hood,
push the visor first slightly in ards and then pull it
out completely.
orrect ventilation
For the hood to operate correctly, do not open any
indo s in your kitchen; on the other hand, you
should open a indo in the next room.
Important recommendation
If the hood operates at the same time as a burner or
open fire (gas, fuel-oil or ood-fired heating,
ater heater, etc.), take special care because the
hood may intake the air necessary for the combus-
tion of said systems.
Do not set the fan at a higher speed than
necessary. Lo speeds are sufficient for
cooking under normal conditions.
Only use high speeds to evacuate strong
odours (such as those generated by burnt
food, etc.).
Speed control
The extractor fan speed can be adjusted using the
pull-out glass visor (see figure).
When the glass visor is in position (A), the light turns
on. When the adjuster reaches position (B), the hood
motor starts at lo speed, then the speed increases
gradually as the panel is pulled out.
To set the intensive speed, then push the push
button A (see figure), the intensive speed lasts for 5
minutes.
For best results, lo speeds are recommended
under normal operating conditions, and higher speed
settings hen the concentration of fumes and steam
are highest.
Turn the hood on a fe minutes before you begin
cooking, in order to create a partial vacuum in the
kitchen. Once you have finished cooking, leave the
hood on for another 15 minutes, or until all steam and
fumes have disappeared.
Care and Cleaning
Before performing any hood care
operations, turn off the electricity supply
by unplugging the po er supply cable
from the all socket or by removing the
fuse.
Hood cleaning
Clean the exterior of the hood using a soft cloth
moistened ith a neutral detergent. Never use
corrosive, abrasive or inflammable cleaning prod-
ucts.
leaning the stainless steel
surfaces
For an improved cleaning action on the stainless
steel surfaces of the hood, use a soft cloth and
Original Steel Polish, on sale from the service
centre.
You can also use glass cleaner. If the surface is
extremely dirty, you can use methylated spirit.
NEVER use scouring po der or any other
product that may scratch the surface irreparably.
Do not use materials such as steel ool or scraping
pads hich may scratch the surfaces.

leaning/replacing the charcoal
filter
Unlike other filters of the same type, LONG LIFE
charcoal filters can be cleaned and re-used. The
filter should be cleaned every other month under
normal operating conditions. We recommend you
clean the filter in a dish asher, at the maximum
temperature setting, using a standard detergent. No
domestic tools should be in the dish asher hen
the filter is cleaned, in order to avoid any food
particle deposits on the filter that could create
additional unpleasant odours. To reactivate the
charcoal, just dry the filter inside your oven. Set
the oven mode to normal (not to the "Grill" mode),
at a maximum temperature of 100° C, and leave
the filter inside it for 10 minutes. Read the filter
instructions too.
Clean the filter regularly. Any oil build-
ups in the filter or duct could catch fire in
the event of overheating.
Clean the filter frequently. The cleaner
the filter, the lo er the fan motor load,
hich improves ventilation performance.
Lowering the front visor
Note! Do NOT overload the pull-out glass
visor by resting on it or subjecting it to
abnormal loads.
The front visor can be lo ered to facilitate
cleaning operations.
1. Push the front visor up ards until it rests
against the rear edge (see figure).
2. Lo er the visor until it reaches the front edge
(see figure).
3. After cleaning, raise the visor; it locks
automatically in place as it reaches the rear
edge.
Filter cleaning
Clean the filter once a month or every other month,
depending on ho often you use the hood. The
cleaner the filter, the more it traps oil and fat. To
remove the filter (see figure):
1. Using the handle: push the filter up ards to
put it back in its initial position.
2. Pull the front of the filter do n ards and pull
out from the front.
The filter consists of aluminium cables on hich
the oil and fat deposit. Clean the filter in hot ater
and some detergent or in your dish asher. Leave
the filter to dry before repositioning it. Please note
that the filter colour may fade if it is cleaned in a
dish asher.

top edge of the front panel is aligned ith the base
of the cabinet (see figure 1), follo the instructions
provided for "Installing the hood in a cabinet" ith
16 mm alls, points 3-8.
If the hood is to be installed at a height above that
of the cabinet base:
1. Use the installation template to trace t o
vertical lines on either side (see figure 2).
2. Measure the height at hich the hood must be
installed.
. Install the suspension bars (see figure 3).
The dra ing illustrates the left-hand side. The
right-hand side is the exact opposite.
4. Raise the hood and insert the hooks in the
special slots.
5. Push the hood against the all. Check that all
the hooks are correctly inserted in the slots.
6. Install the locking scre (see "Installing the

Fitting the cold air inlet
This is not applicable hen the hood is used in re-
circulation mode. The hood can be fitted ith a
cold air inlet (see figure). The cold air inlet con-
sists of t o valves fitted inside the hood flue duct.
If the hood is the only ventilation system in the
kitchen, the extremity of the valves leading to the
outside must be cut off and removed. Bend the
valves slightly so that the pins fit into the slots
provided in the hood flue duct. Make sure the
criss-cross side of the valves is facing up ards.
Push each valve ith a pencil or similar object; the
valves should open ithout any resistance. In the
event of friction, make sure each valve has not
been installed upside do n and that none of the
pins have slipped out of their slot.
Positioning the charcoal filter
Only applicable for operation in re-circulation
mode. The LONG LIFE charcoal filter (special
accessory) for this hood is installed instead of the
grease filter. The LONG LIFE charcoal filter is
both a grease filter as ell as a charcoal filter,
designed to minimise unpleasant cooking odours.
An opening must be made underneath or on the
front of the cabinet (min. 100 cm²) here the hood
is installed, so that the filtered air can circulate
freely and return to the kitchen.
Fitting the flue kit (see figure)
Extend the flue duct, ithout exaggerat-
ing. A duct that is too long or not straight
enough could cut do n hood efficiency
by up to fifty percent. Shorten the duct if
it is too long and make sure it is as
straight as possible.
A complete flue kit is sold separately as an optio-
nal. The flue duct (A) fits over the hood flue
connection ring (B) and is kept securely in place
by a collar. Make sure the duct is as straight as
possible and that it does not impede the movement
of the valves in any ay. The duct is connected to
the duct outlet by the metal connection ring plate
(C), supplied in the kit.
