Safety warnings
For the installer
 When used as an extractor unit, the hood must
be fitted with a:
- EFI 635 100mm diameter hose.
- EFI 6 0 120mm diameter hose.
Attention: The hose is not supplied and must
be purchased separately.
When installing the hood, ma e sure you
respect the following minimum distance
from the top edge of the coo ing hob/ring
surfaces:
electric coo ers 550 mm
gas coo ers 650 mm
 The national Standard on fuel-burning systems
specifies a maximum depression of 0.0 mbar
in such rooms.
 The air outlet must not be connected to
chimney flues or combustion gas ducts. The air
outlet must under no circumstances be
connected to ventilation ducts for rooms in
which fuel-burning appliances are installed.
 The air outlet installation must comply with the
regulations laid down by the relevant
authorities.
 When the unit is used in its extractor version, a
sufficiently large ventilation hole must be
provided, with dimensions that are approxi-
mately the same as the outlet hole.
 National and regional building regulations
impose a number of restrictions on using hoods
and fuel-burning appliances connected to a
chimney, such as coal or oil room-heaters and
gas fires, in the same room.
 Hoods can only be used safely with appliances
connected to a chimney if the room and/or flat
(air/environment combination) is ventilated
from outside using a suitable ventilation hole
approximately 500-600 cm2 large to avoid the
possibility of a depression being created during
operation of the hood.
 If you have any doubts, contact the relevant
controlling authority or building inspectors
office.
 Since the rule for rooms with fuel burning
appliances is outlet hole of the same size as
the ventilation hole, a hole of 500-600 cm2,
which is to say a larger hole, could reduce the
performance of the extractor hood.
 If the hood is used in its filtering function, it
will operate simply and safely in the above
conditions without the need for any of the
aforementioned measures.
 When the hood is used in its extractor function,
the following rules must be followed to obtain
optimal operation:
 short and straight outlet hose
 keep bends in outlet hose to a minimum
 never install the hoses with an acute angle,
they must always follow a gentle curve.
 keep the hose as large as possible
(preferably the same diameter as the
outlet hole).
 Failure to observe these basic instructions will
drastically reduce the performance and increase
the noise levels of the extractor hood.

For the user
 The coo er hood is designed to extract
unpleasant odours from the itchen, it will
not extract steam.
 Always cover lighted elements, to prevent
excess heat from damaging the appliance. In
the case of oil, gas and coal fired cookers it is
essential to avoid open flames.
 Also, when frying, keep the deep frying pan on
the cooker top/cooker under careful control.
 The hot oil in the frying pan might ignite due to
overheating.
 The risk of self-ignition increases when the oil
being used is dirty.
 It is extremely important to note that
overheating can cause a fire.
Never carry out any flambé coo ing under
the hood.
Always disconnect the unit from the power
supply before carrying out any wor on the
hood, including replacing the light bulb (take
the cartridge fuse out of the fuse holder or
switch off the automatic circuit breaker).
It is very important to clean the hood and
replace the filter at the recommended
intervals. Failure to do so could cause grease
deposits to build up, resulting in a fire
hazard.
 The appliance is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons without supervision.
 Young children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
 WARNING - Ensure that the appliance is
switched off before replacing the lamp to avoid
the possibility of electric shock.

Control Panel
 Best results are obtained by using a low speed
for normal conditions and a high speed when
odours are more concentrated.
Turn the hood on a few minutes before you start
cooking, you will then get an under pressure in
the kitchen. The hood should be left on after
cooking for about 15 minutes or until all the
odours have disappeared. The control switches
are located on the units front panel:
 the light switch switches the hood lamp on and
off
 the motor switch switches the motor on and
off, enabling you to select one of the three
different speeds.
The hood is also equipped with a micro-switch
which can be found under the lower runner of the
visor on the right hand side.
With this micro-switch, the appliance may be
automatically switched on and off by opening and
closing the pull-out panel, but only if the fan speed
has already been set and the light switch is turned
to I.
Correct ventilation
If the cooker hood is to work correctly there must
be an under pressure in the kitchen. It is important
to keep the kitchen windows closed and have a
window in an adjacent room open.
