VI. OPERATION MODE OF THE KITCHEN HOOD
Setting up for the odour absorber mode
In this mode, the filtered air is recirculated back into the room through openings
found on both sides of the hood. Use charcoal filtersfor this operation mode.
Charcoal filtersshould be replaced with a new one every 3 to 6 months.
Regenerable activated carbon filters must be washed by hand, with
non-abrasive neutral detergents, or in a dishwasher with a
maximum temperature of 65°C (the washing cycle must be
complete without dishes).
Remove excess water without damaging the filter, remove the plastic
parts, and allow the mattress to dry in the oven for at least 15 minutes at a
maximum temperature of 100 ° C. To keep the function of the regenerable
carbon filter efficient, this operation must be repeated every 2
months. These must be replaced at least every 3 years or when the
mattress is damaged.
VII. OPERATING THE HOOD
Safety of usage
When using a gas cooker, special care must be taken not to use the burner without a
cookware placed on it.
Due to the risk of fire, any cooking under the hood involving oils and grease
must only be carried out under constant supervision. The risk of spontaneous
combustion is greater with previously used oil. Always make sure the flame
does not go beyond the cookware, as this causes unnecessary energy loss and
dangerous heat concentration. The hood must not be used for purposes other
than intended (eg: industrial catering)
– The „–” button decreases turbine speed.
– The „+” button increases turbine speed.
– The „ ” button scontrols the lighting.
– The „ ” button is used to control the “Timer” function,
described on the following page.
Operation by remote controller
The hood may also be operated by means of the remote
controller:

10
The cooker hood can be programmed to automatically switch offthe turbine in
up to 9 minutes. The timer is activated by pressing the button while the hood
is running on the desired gear, then the display will start flashing a number of
minutes, after which the fan will turn off automatically. Use the ”+”and “–”
buttons to set the desired unit operation time. The ”1”digit on the display
represents one minute of hood operation, etc. To confirm your choice and start
the timer, either press the button or wait 5 seconds without pressing any
buttons. A flashing point on the display indicates that the ”Timer”is counting
down the turbine switch-off time. The ”Timer” function is deactivated by
pressing the button again during the time countdown.
VIII. MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance and cleaning of the unit will provide a good and reliable
operation of the hood and it will extend its life. It is important to clean the grease
filter on regular basis, and especially the one with activated charcoal, which
should be replaced in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Grease filter
The grease filters (aluminium) should be cleaned every two months either in a
dishwasher (using a short programme for gentle cleaning) or by hand using a
mild dish-washing liquid.
To remove the aluminium filter, release the lock latch and then pull the filter
dia-gonally downwards. After cleaning, dry the filter and insert it into the hood.
Charcoal Filter
Charcoal filter cassette can only be used when the hood is not connected to
the ventilation shaft. The filters can be purchased at home appliance stores or
from the hood manufacturer. To make sure the right cassette type is
purchased, check the type of hood on the rating plate located on the inside of
the hood body. The rating plate is accessible only after removing the
aluminium grease filter.
The active charcoal fi lter cassette absorbs odours until it reaches its saturation
point Charcoal filters are not washable or recyclable and should be replaced
every 3 to 6 months, or more often if the hood is used intensively.
To install the active charcoal cassette, open the hood flap, remove the
aluminium filter, then install the round charcoal filter cassette in the holder.
After installing or replacing the filter, insert back the aluminum filter and close
the hood flap.

11
Lighting
The cooker hood is equipped with two LED strips, each of 4 W output and 12 V
voltage. The LED strips have a lifespan of up to 10,000 hours. It is not possible to
replace individual LEDs.
In case of damage to the lighting fittingwith LED module, it may only be
replaced by the manufacturer’s service or by a suitably qualifiedperson.
