Description of appliance
The Cooker Hood may be used for
vented or non-vented operation.
Vented Operation
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of fire
and to properly exhaust air, be sure
lo duct air to the outside. Do not vent
exhaust air into spaces within walls
or ceilings or into attics, crawl spaces,
oF garages.
The cooking fumes are filtered
through the grease filter and extracted
to the outside.
Non-vented Operation
The cooking fumes are filtered
through the grease filter with addi-
tional charcoal filters and channelled
back into the kitchen via the upper
part of the kitchen cabinet.
@ The unit is set up by the factory for
vented operation.
@ The unit is provided with a non-
return flap.
When not in use the Cooker Hood's
non-return flap is closed, so that no
exchange of air from the outside and
ihe room can take place.
A few seconds after turning on the
unit the non-return flap opens and
fumes are channelled to the outside.
Mains Supply
In case of malfunctioning shut off cir-
cuit breaker as the plug may be dif-
ficult to reach.
@ Turn Cooker Hood's mains supply
off when servicing (changing or
cleaning of filter etc., or when not
in use for prolonged time).
Switch for Cook Top Lights
These can be used independently
from the Cooker Hood operation.
Power Control
Determines level of air flow:
# 1 = low
#5 = high
Fume Deflector
When main switch is "ON" and the
fume deflector is pulled out the unit
will start automatically When front
burners of the coox top are in use or
larger accumulations of fumes have
to be extracted the fume deflector
should be pulled out all the way. Oth-
erwise it is sufficient to pull out the
deflector only slightly.

Important safety instructions
WARNING -
@® Before using the Cooker Hood
read and follow all basic Safety In-
structions CAREFULLY to avoid
personal injuries and damage to
the appliance.
Use the Cooker Hood only for
household purposes.
The appliance complies with all re-
quired safety regulations. To avoid
danger to the user, repairs must be
carried out by qualified techni-
clans only.
Before servicing disconnect the
power supply by switching off the
circuit breaker or by removing the
plug of the unit.
Never allow an open flame under
the unit (i-@. during grilling, flambé,
etc.) as flames may be drawn into
the grease filter and could start a
fire.
Ensure that burners in use are al-
ways covered by a saucepan or
pot, as intense heat could damage
parts of the Cooker Hood.
Do not leave pots and pans unat-
tended, especially when cooking
with oil or grease, as overheated,
oil and fat can ignite and create a
fire hazard.
@® Never use Cooker Hood without a
grease filter.
@® The appliance must not be con-
nected to a chimney or vent flue
which is in use. If a gas water
heater or a gas room heater is in-
stalled in the kitchen, we frecom-
mend as a safety precaution that
this Cooker Hood should not be
used.
Suction
from
the
appliance
could cause a backflow of exhaust
ses from the chimney or vent
lue duct.
No danger exists if a vacuum
pressure of 0. 16" water lift is not ex-
ceeded.
This may be accomplished by en-
suring that sufficient fresh air is al-
ways available,
If you are not certain please con-
sult your local building authority.
lf the Cooker Hood is used in the
non-vented mode with charcoal fil-
ters, these precaution are not
necessary.

suspended in the cooking fumes
(such as dust, grease etc.) and thus
prevents the fan motor to be soiled.

able metal filter which can be cleaned
by hand or dishwasher.

cleaned periodically. Within normal
use every two or three months (no-
tice discoloring of filter and reduc-
tion of suction power).

fire hazard.
