misuse of the appliance.
• Never attempt to modify the features of this appliance as this represents a risk. Repairs must be carried
out exclusively by an authorised specialist technical service. To avoid risks, all tampering with the appliance
is prohibited, including replacing the power cable.
• WARNING: To reduce The Risk Of Fire Or Electric Shock, Do Not Use This Fan With Any Solid-State
Speed Control Device.”
• If the hood is not fitted with a power cable and a plug, or some other means of disconnecting it from the
mains power supply featuring a contact gap in all poles to assure total disconnection under the conditions
provided for by overvoltage class III, it must be equipped with means of disconnection from the fixed
installation in accordance with installation regulations (omnipolar circuit breakers connected directly to the
power terminals, which must have a contact gap in the poles to cut off the electrical power supply in the
event of class III overvoltage).
• It must be possible to disconnect the device from the power supply after installation. This can be done by
making the plug accessible or by fitting a circuit breaker in the electrical installation in accordance with the
rules for the installation.
• If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales service or similar
qualified staff in order to avoid any danger.
• Special care must be taken when drilling into walls or ceilings to ensure there are no concealed electrical
cables, pipes, metal girders, etc. as drilling into them can cause serious damage, divert electrical current
or transmit noise and vibration.
• IMPORTANT: For installation, always switch off the power supply at the appropriate differential or
circuit breaker in the main house fuse box before making the electrical connection for the appliance.
• WARNING: Always disconnect the hood from the power supply by unplugging it or using the
appropriate differential or circuit breaker in the main house fuse box before beginning cleaning or
maintenance work. Never use steam or high-pressure devices to clean your hood (electrical safety
regulations). See section 5, page 24-29, cleaning and maintenance.
• Never cook foodstuffs directly over the flame or have the gas burners on under the hood without cooking
recipients over them (flames sucked in might damage the appliance and the warranty would be voided). The
appliance is not authorised for use over a solid fuel burner (wood, coal, etc.).
Frying under the hood must be constantly supervised because oils and fats can catch fire at very high
temperatures. Do not flambé food under the hood.
• Caution: risk of burns. Accessible parts of the appliance can heat up when used with cooking equipment.
• The distance between the surface on which the cooking containers stand on the hob and the bottom of
the hood must be at least 65cm if the extractor hood is fitted over a gas cooker. If the gas cooker installation
instructions specify a greater distance, this must be taken into account.

• “WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK.”
• Clean and replace filters at the proper intervals. Build-ups of grease can cause fires. Never use the hood
without the grease filter.
• Installation must comply with regulations in force concerning the ventilation of closed rooms. Specifically,
the air extracted must not exit through a pipe used to remove fumes from devices which run on gas or some
other fuel (central heating installations, etc.).
• Proper ventilation must be provided where the hood is used at the same time as other appliances run from
a power source other than electricity so that the hood does not suck in compound gases.
- Attention! When a hood with a suction system is in use at the same time as a heat source depending
on air in the atmosphere (gas, oil, coal heaters, open fire, etc.) great care should be taken to ensure that
the hood does not suck in some of the air to be used for combustion as dangerous amounts of carbon
monoxide could build up in the premises or home, placing lives at risk. Where an extractor hood is installed
in connection or together with a combustion element such as a stove, fireplace or local heating system, the
manufacturer of these elements must be consulted to ensure efficient, risk-free operation
• The maximum permitted depression is 0.04 mbar. These conditions allow the hood to work properly. To
ensure these conditions there must be a constant entrance of air in order to avoid the air being trapped (it
is advisable to have a ventilation grille for this purpose). Neither windows nor doors can serve this purpose.
• The electrical mains power supply must be steady and meet the stated electrical requirements (see the
device features panel). If it is not constant and there are fluctuations in voltage, intensity or frequency,
harmonics, voltage gaps, surges, electrical storms, etc. the hood may not work properly and can even be
damaged, and in this case the repair would not be covered by the warranty. If these situations occur the
hood should be disconnected and an electrician or electricity company contacted to solve the problem with
the power supply.
• The hood is an electrical appliance to be used for extracting fumes, and it may not be used to support
objects or utensils.
• In our ongoing efforts to improve our products, we reserve the right to make any modifications to the
technical, operating or aesthetic features which form part of their development.

Pay special attention to all the instructions given below.
• Use an air extraction flue which is as short as possible.
• Limit the number of bends in the flue, and ensure that any which are used are as open as possible.
• Use a material approved by regulations.
• Avoid drastic differences in section (constant diameter recommended; consult examples).

VERY IMPORTANT:
INOXPAN S.L. TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE OPERATION OF ITS APPLIANCES IF
THEY ARE NOT CONNECTED TO A FLUE OF THE DIAMETER RECOMMENDED FOR EACH
MOTOR VERSION.
• TYPE OF FLUE: performance will depend on the material of which the flue is made. The type of material
can affect noise level and the friction of the flow.
For silenced installation we recommended using our special SEC System piping for the flue. Consult our
distributor.
In the event that it is not possible to discharge cooking
fumes and steam outside, the filter version of the hood
may be used (Fig. 1) (depending on the version, consult
distributor) by fitting an active carbon filter kit. The fumes
and steam are recycled and emitted through the grille at the
top (A). You are informed that if this option is used aspiration
will be diminished and the noise level is higher than with the
aspiration version.
The hood features a top air outlet to discharge fumes to
the outside in the aspiration version (Fig. 2). Wherever
possible, this is the best option.
Note: The distance must be at least 650mm; also abide by the distance specified by the cooker
manufacturer if this is greater. The ideal distance between the hob and the bottom of the hood is
650mm; if it is greater there is a risk of fumes escaping at the sides of the hood.
Ideal height 650mm

• DETERMINING HEIGHT: the ideal distance from the base of the hob up to the bottom of the hood body is
65cm. If this distance is increased, there is a risk of fumes escaping (diagram on page 5)

of problems with flow or noise level.
Flaps to open under pressure
(not included)

(not included)
RIGHT
WRONG
NOTE: Centre the hood over the cooking area
• HOOD WIDTH: the width of the hood must always be greater than that of the cooking area. If it is narrower
there is a risk of fumes escaping at the sides (diagram on page 5). (Depending on model)
• CENTRING THE HOOD: the hood must be centred so that the filters in it are aligned with the cooking area.
• VENTILATION AND AIR CURRENTS: all hood installations must have an air inlet, preferably located
in front of the hood, and not have a second inlet which would create currents of air. If there is no air inlet
problems will arise with depression and excess pressure in the atmosphere and the hood motor will perform
poorly.
• OUTSIDE FLUE OUTLET: The outlet of the flue must be covered with flaps which open under pressure
(diagram on page 5). Under no circumstances should gas grilles or any others which obstruct the free
passage of air be used. Nor should air outlets be left uncovered as foreign elements might get in (water,
strong winds, nests, etc.) and obstruct the outlet flow, possibly damaging components in the hood.
• REDUCTIONS IN FLUE DIAMETER: The following should be borne in mind where the route taken by
the flue means the diameter of the pipe has to be reduced. First of all, it must be clearly understood that
reducing the flue diameter ALWAYS DIMINISHES ASPIRATION. Therefore, when it is NECESSARY to do
so, the premises shown in the diagrams on page 7 must be taken into account..
• NON-RETURN VALVE: it is advisable to fit these in shared installations, where several flues converge into a
single one, to prevent accumulations of fumes and the entry of fumes and smells from other hoods.

EN
- 8 -
* IMPORTANT: Whenever there are more than two bends or reductions in the flue, the distance
between them must be at least 1 metre in order to give time for the speed and pressure of the air
flow to recover. For example, if two 90º bends are fitted 20cm apart, this will cause a blocking effect,
drastically reducing aspiration power and increasing noise level.
* IMPORTANT: Always avoid flues running downwards, as this drastically reduces extraction capacity.

installation to a minimum. If they
do exist, try to keep the angle as
open as possible.

IMPORTANT: During installation and after doing any work or maintenance inside the extractor hood,
make sure the appliance is disconnected from the power supply first.
The mains power supply must have a stable voltage and meet the electrical requirements specified (see
device features panel).
The electrical system for the hood must be connected to a separate grid power supply as far as the fuse box
in order to avoid interference with the hood from fluorescent lights or other devices which transmit noise on
the electrical system.
Leave the point where the appliance is plugged in accessible, or else fit a switch in the electrical system in
accordance with electrical installation regulations.
If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, their after-sales service or similar
qualified personnel in order to avoid risks.
If there is no mains power point or it is removed, some other means of disconnection from the power supply
must be provided, with a distance between terminals which ensures total disconnection under category III
voltage overload conditions.

OPERATING DESCRIPTION:
The transmitter is equipped with 5 buttons for cooker hood
management, as specified below:
One fast key-press needed for to turn on/off the lights of the
hood. The 2 seconds’ key-press needed for turn on/off the
lights of the models with the courtesy light.
INITIAL OPERATING CONDITION:
The radio control is supplied by the manufacturer with default
codes already stored.
OPERATING MODES:
Standard configuration:
The default configuration assumes all “cooker hood – radio
control” systems have the same transmission code. If two
“cooker hood – radio control” systems are installed in the same
room or in the immediate vicinity, each system may affect the
operation of the other, due to the fact they have the same code.
It will therefore be necessary to change the code of one of the
radio controls.
Generating a new transmission code:
The radio control is supplied by the manufacturer with default
codes stored. If you want to create a new set of codes, proceed
as follows:
press and hold the UP, STOP and DOWN buttons simultaneously
for 2 seconds. After the LEDs light up
press the UP and DOWN buttons within 5 seconds:
The LEDs will flash 3 times to indicate that the process is
complete.
WARNING! This procedure deletes all previously-stored
codes.
“Learning” the new transmission code:
After changing the transmission code on the radio control, the
cooker hood electronic control unit must be made to “learn”
the new code as follows:
Press the main “Power Off” button on the cooker hood and
then restore power to the electronic control unit. Within the
next 15 seconds, press the Light button: this will ensure the
control unit is synchronised with the new code.
Emergency button: In the event that the radio control
does not work, use the emergency button to switch the
appliance off. After any necessary repairs have been
performed, reset the emergency button.
Re-establishment of the standard configuration:
ONLY FOR THE REMOTE CONTROL V.2.0
For to re-establish the standard configuration, follow this
procedure:
press and hold for 2 seconds these buttons
together until the LEDs lights turn on.
The press the buttons (within 5 seconds).
The LEDs lights will flash 6 times to indicate
that the operation is complete.
ATTENTION: After the re-establishment of the standard
configuration, the new transmission code must be shared
with the electronic control unit of the hood, please, follow
the procedure of the “Sharing the new transmission code”.

4.4.- CORIAN VERSION REMOTE CONTROL:
(optional in some models, consult distributor)
SYNCHRONISING THE CONTROL WITH THE HOOD:
When the hood is installed or if a change is made in the transmission code, it is necessary to synchronise
the control with the hood control unit. The process is as follows: Disconnect and then reconnect the
power supply to the hood (with the hood control unit switch or by unplugging the hood, or with the circuit
breaker switch on the home electric panel), when the hood has ben reconnected to the mains supply,
before 20 seconds have passed press the light key with the remote control pointing to the hood, the hood
will light up, indicating that the process was correct.
If more than 20 seconds pass before you synchronise the control, the control unit will close the reception
and no code will be recorded.
Attention!: Synchronisation of the remote control with the hood can be lost due to external reasons such as power
cuts, electrical discharges, interference….In these cases it is necessary to repeat the synchronisation process.
GENERATING A NEW TRANSMISSION CODE:
1 Hood motor on and off.
2Reduce motor speed.
3Increase motor speed.
4Motor timer, keeps the hood on for 10 minutes and then switches it off.
55. Led indicator of control key pressed. Also indicates programming process.
6Light on and off. *.
* A short press switches the main light on or off, and in models with a courtesy
light, this is controlled with a long push, keeping the key pressed for more than 2
seconds.

The manufacturer supplies the remote control ready for use, with the
factory default codes.
If you want to generate new codes, do the following: Press simultaneously
and keep pressed the three keys indicated in the illustration (1-2-3)
until the LED (5) begins to flash, at that moment the control is going
through the different frequencies available, when you release the keys,
the led (5) will stop flashing and record the frequency being scanned
at that moment.
If you want a different frequency, repeat the process (after re-establishing the factory default configuration),
and the chosen frequency will depend on the time you keep the keys pressed.
ATTENTION! This operation will definitively delete the existing codes.
