electrical network) place a standards
approved bipolar switch with an aperture
distance of not less than 3mm
(accessible) from the contacts.
Operation – The control panel is situated
on the front of the rangehood and

performance of the grease filter.
Remount the filter after it has dried
thoroughly.
Carbon Filter - The use of a charcoal
filter is necessary when the rangehood
cannot be vented outdoors either
because ducting is not available or
cannot be installed. The charcoal filter
serves to eliminate odours that form
during the cooking process. Under normal
use conditions, the filter should be
replaced every 4 months. For

channel used for fumes discharged by
appliances powered by other than
electricity. The environment must always
be adequately aerated when the
rangehood and other appliance powered
by other than electricity are used at the
same time. Flambe cooking with a
rangehood is prohibited. The use of a free
flame is damaging to the filters and may
cause fire accidents. Therefore free flame
cooking must be avoided. Frying of foods
