product; the hood should only
be lifted and installed by two or
more people.
The minimum distance between
the hob and the bottom part of the
hood must not be less than 65 cm
for burning gas or other fuels and
50cm for electric cookers.
Before installation also check the
minimum distances stated in the
manual of the cooker.
If the installation instructions for the

between cooker and hood, this
distance must be observed.
Electrical connection
Make sure the power voltage
specied on the appliance rating
plate is the same as the mains
voltage.
This information can be found
on the inside of the hood, under
the grease lter. Power cable
replacement (type H05 VV-F)
must be carried out by a qualied
electrician. Contact an authorized
service centre.
If the hood is tted with an electric
plug, connect the plug to a socket
complying with current regulations,
located in an accessible place.

7ENGLISH
The hood has been designed to be
installed and used either as a “Extraction
installation”, or as a “Recirculation
installation”.
Extraction installation (see symbol
in installation booklet)
Cooking steam is sucked and channelled
outside the house through a discharge duct
(not supplied), tted to the hood steam
outlet.
Ensure that the discharge duct is correctly
tted to the air outlet, unit using an
appropriate connection system.
Important: If already installed, remove the
charcoal lter/s.
Recirculation installation
(see symbol in installation booklet)
The air is ltered through one or more the
charcoal lters, and then resent into room.
Important: Ensure appropriate air
circulation around the hood.
Important: If the hood is supplied without
charcoal lters, these must be tted before
the hood can be used. Filters are available
in IKEA shops.
The hood should be installed away from
particularly dirty areas, windows, doors and
heat sources.
The accessories for wall xing are not
included because walls made of different
materials require different types of xing
accessories. Use xing systems suitable for
the walls of your home and the weight of
the appliance. For more details, contact a
specialized dealer.
Keep this booklet for future consultation.
WARNING: if no plug is tted
(direct wiring to the mains), or
if the socket is not located in an
accessible place, a qualied
electrician should install a
standardised double pole power
switch that will enable complete
isolation from the mains in case of
category III overvoltage conditions,
in accordance with wiring rules.

a short cycle. With cleaning in a dishwasher
the grease lter may become dull; this does
not effect its ltering capacity.
Grease lter maintenance:
1. Disconnect the hood from the electric
power supply.
2 Remove the grease lters: pull the spring
release handle downwards, then remove
the lter.
3. After cleaning the grease lter, remount
in reverse order ensuring the entire
extraction surface is covered.
Charcoal lter maintenance (if the hood is
installed in recirculation mode)
1. Disconnect the hood from the electric
power supply.
2. Remove the grease lter as previously
indicated in the grease lter chapter.
3. Remove charcoal lter holder
4. Remove/add charcoal lter
5. Hook the carbon lter rstly to the metal
tab at the back on the hood.
6. Fix it at the front with the two knobs.
7. Ret the grease lter.
Unlike traditional charcoal lters, this
charcoal lter can be washed and
reactivated.
With normal hood use, the lter should
be cleaned once a month. The best way
to clean the lter is in a dishwasher at
the highest temperature possible, using
a normal dishwasher detergent. To avoid
particles of food or dirt settling on the
lter during washing and giving rise to
unpleasant smells, it is advisable to wash
the  lter on its own. After washing, dry the
lter in the oven at 100°C for 10 minutes to
reactivate it.The lter will retain its odour-
absorbing capacity for three years, after
which it will have to be replaced.
Lamp maintenance
The hood is equipped with a lighting system
based on LED technology.
The LEDs guarantee an optimum lighting,
a duration up to 10 times as long as the
traditional lamps and allow to save 90%
electrical energy.
For replacement, contact the Authorized
Service Centre.
