Operation
Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen
vapours. It is recommended that the cooker hood suction is
switched on for 5 minutes prior to cooking and to leave in
operation during cooking and for another 15 minutes
approximately after terminating cooking.

3. Speed 1 LED
4. Speed 2 LED and metal grease filter saturation LED (in
this latter case, the LED will flash - See instructions on
grease filter cleaning).
Once the grease filters have been cleaned, press button
1 for about 3 seconds until you hear the acoustic signal
(beep): the LED 4 will now stop flashing.

Warning!
The active carbon filter saturation LED is not activated.
In order to activate the active carbon filter saturation
indicator, press buttons 2 and 7 simultaneously for 3
seconds. Initially, only LED 4 will flash, then after the 3
seconds have passed, LED 5 will also start flashing,
indicating that the active carbon filter saturation control
system is active.
To switch off the system, re-press the same two buttons:
after 3 seconds LED 5 will stop flashing and the device
will be switched off.
6. Intensive speed LED
7. Intensive speed ON switch
This speed should be used when the concentration of
cooking fumes or odours is particularly strong (for
example when frying, cooking fish etc.).
The fast speed will run for about 5 minutes and then
return to the speed previously set automatically (1, 2 or
3), or switch off if no speed was selected.
To turn off the fast speed, before the end of the 5
minutes, press button 1 or button 2.

If the hood fails to operate correctly, briefly disconnect it from
the mains power supply for almost 5 sec. by pulling out the
plug. Then plug it in again and try once more before
contacting the Technical Assistance Service.
Maintenance
ATTENTION! Before performing any maintenance operation,
isolate the hood from the electrical supply by switching off at
the connector and removing the connector fuse.
Or if the appliance has been connected through a plug and
socket, then the plug must be removed from the socket.
Cleaning
The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly (at least with the
same frequency with which you carry out maintenance of the
fat filters) internally and externally. Clean using the cloth
dampened with neutral liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive
products. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!
WARNING: Failure to carry out the basic cleaning
recommendations of the cooker hood and replacement of the
filters may cause fire risks.
Therefore, we recommend observing these instructions.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to
the motor or any fire damage linked to inappropriate
maintenance or failure to observe the above safety
recommendations.
Grease filter
Fig. 26-31
Traps cooking grease particles.
This must be cleaned once a month (or when the filter
saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in
possession – indicates this necessity) using non aggressive
detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must
be set to a low temperature and a short cycle.
When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolour
slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.
To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle.
Charcoal filter (filter version only)
Fig. 28
It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.
The activated charcoal filter can be one of these types:
• Washable activated charcoal filter.
• NON-washable activated charcoal filter.
Washable activated charcoal filter
The charcoal filter can be washed once every two months
using hot water and a suitable detergent, or in a dishwasher at
65°C (if the dishwasher is used, select the full cycle function
and leave dishes out).
Eliminate excess water without damaging the filter, then
remove the mattress located inside the plastic frame and put it
in the oven for 10 minutes at 100° C to dry completely.
Replace the mattress every 3 years and when the cloth is
damaged.
NON-washable activated charcoal filter
The saturation of the charcoal filter occurs after more or less
prolonged use, depending on the type of cooking and the
regularity of cleaning of the grease filter.
In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least
every four mounths.
The charcoal filter may NOT be washed or regenerated.
