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:
• Screws for mounting: 10 pcs. 3,5x16 mm screws.
• Cold air valve.
• Instruction book.
Following is ordered from retailer:
• LONG LIFE carbon filter: The carbon filter is to be
used when the hood is connected to the
recirculation system.
For new installations:
PNC 391 834 203 (60 cm), 391 834 204 (80/90 cm).
Replacements (after approx. 3 years):
PNC 391 837 003 (60 cm), 391 837 004 (80/90 cm).
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.

Using the cooker hood
Maintenance and cleaning
Speed regulation
The cooker hood only works when the main switch is
turned on (Fig. 1). The cooker hood is regulated with
the pull-out visor (Fig. 2). When the pull-out visor is in
position (A) the work light turns on. When the visor
reaches position (B) the motor starts with a low speed
and increases in speed as the visor pulls out.
The hood has an intensive speed function which turns
on when the visor is fully extended. The intensive
speed will last for about 5 minutes, then the high speed
function automatically returns to a lower speed. The
intensive speed function can be turned off before 5
minutes by pushing in the visor about 10 mm. The time
can vary a little and it can not be changed.
Best results are obtained by using low speed for
normal conditions and high speed when smells and
steam are more concentrated. 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.
Fig 1.
Fig 2.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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. 3):
Grab hold of the handle and pull the filter
forward.
Pull the filter down at the back and remove it
downward.
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.
AB
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.

Cleaning the motor cover
It is also possible to clean the motor cover (Fig. 4):
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.
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 light
Turn off the power before changing the light.
Remove the filter by pushing it forwards and
then pulling it downwards.
Remove the lampglass.
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. Note
that both of the lights in the cooker hood will not
function even if only one of them needs changing.
So change one at a time (Fig. 5).

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.
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. This information is on the
rating plate behind the grease filter.

the relevant kitchen unit.
Mount the cooker hood with the 10 included screws.
Fig. 11
Unpacking
Check that the cooker hood is not damaged.
Transportation damages should immediately be
reported to the transport company. Damages, faults
and eventually missing parts should immediately be
reported to the retailer. Dispose carefully of the
packaging material so that it is out of the way of small
children.
Position
The cooker hood should be mounted under a wall
cupboard. 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 (Fig. 7).
Electrical connection
The electric outlet should be placed above the
hood and inside a wall cupboard. The hood has a
power cord and moulded plug with earth
connection for a wall outlet of 230V.
Mounting the pull-out visor:
NOTE! The visor frame must always be closed up
when the hood is being assembled. The tape must not
be removed until the installation is done (Fig. 9).
Fit the catches on the visor frame into the front
holes of the hood frame, see Fig. 9.
Press the visor frame against the hood (Fig. 10)
while pushing the visor frame backwards.
Put the locking screws in according to Fig 11. Then
align the visor frame before tightening the screws.
Remove the tape.
Pull the visor out and fit the glass (Fig. 12).
The glass has to be in place in order for the hood to
function.

Mounting the cold air valve (Fig. 13):
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. 14):
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. Note that the filter should be fitted so
that the handle is next to the wall.
An opening must be made at the top or front of the
cupboard (min. 100 cm²) where the hood is fitted, so
the cleaned air can freely circulate back into the
kitchen.
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.
