Charcoal filter
The charcoal filter should only be used
if you want to use the hood in
recirculation mode.
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.

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
temperature (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 maxi-
mum temperature of 100º C.
After approximately three years of
use, the charcoal filter should be
replaced with a new one, as the
odour reduction capacity will be
reduced.
• Always specify the hood model code
number and serial number when
ordering replacement filters. This
information is shown on the rating
plate located on the inside of the
unit.
• The charcoal filter can be ordered
from your local Service Force Centre.

The mains power supply must
correspond to the rating indicated on
the plate situated inside the hood. If
provided with a plug connect the hood
to a socket in compliance with current
regulations and positioned in an
accessible area. If it not fitted with a
plug (direct mains connection) or if the
plug is not located in an accessible
area apply a bi-polar switch in
accordance with standards which
assures the complete disconnection of
the mains under conditions relating to
over-current category III, in accordance
with installation instructions.
Before re-connecting the hood circuit
to the mains supply and checking the
efficient function, always check that
the mains cable is correctly
assembled.
Mains supply replacement must be
undertaken by your local Service
Force Centre.

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.
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.
