VENTILATION CONTROL
In addition to removing cooking smells, the cooker fan serves
as a ventilation boost system in the kitchen.
• The cooker fan is not connected to the ventilation
system of the apartment. Instead, it is only used during
cooking or when the ventilation in the kitchen needs to
be increased.
1. Boosting kitchen ventilation.
2. Cooking that generates little steam and
cooking smells.
3. Cooking that generates a lot of steam
and cooking smells.
USING THE UNIT
The cooker fan has a sliding glass that can be pulled out of the cooker fan. It is recommended that the sliding glass be pushed
or pulled from the aluminum strip on its front edge. Pull the glass out of the cooker fan for maximal extraction capacity.
 Cooker fan light
Turn the light on or o by pressing the light switch. The light
is dimmable. Adjust the brightness by pressing the light
switch until the brightness is adequate.
 Fan speed
Select the fan speed by pressing the fan speed button
repeatedly until the signal light indicates the desired speed.
 Settings button
The settings button is roughly 2 cm to the left from the light
switch.
Front panel buttons
The front panel of the cooker fan has three buttons.
Other functions
Guard function
The cooker fan is equipped with a guard function that is
activated when the temperature of the cooker fan exceeds
60°C or after a sudden increase in temperature (> 8°C/min).
In such a case, all signal lights of the cooker fan and the
LED light will flash. If this kind of an alarm is noticed before
fire damage, it can be acknowledged by pressing any of the
cooker fan buttons.
Pre-setting of light brightness
To modify the pre-setting of light brightness:
1. Turn the light on, and turn o the fan.
2. Press the settings button for roughly 3 seconds until the
setting mode signal light starts to flash.
3. Adjust the brightness of the light by pressing the light
button until the brightness is adequate.
4. To save the setting, press the settings button for roughly
3 seconds until the setting mode signal light stops to
flash.

PLEASE NOTE!
• Neglecting the cleaning of the grease filter can
cause a fire hazard.
• The outer surfaces of the cooker fan can become
hot when the cooker top or the oven is turned on.
• Flaming is forbidden underneath the cooker fan.
• Always follow the instructions provided on
adjusting the eciency of ventilation.
• Enable a sucient supply air flow into the room if
the cooker fan and non-electric devices are used
simultaneously.
WARNING!
The unit is not intended for use by children under
8 or by persons with reduced sensory, physical or
mental capabilities, or whose lack of knowledge and
experience do not ensure safe operation of the unit.
Such persons can use the unit under supervision,
or by following the instructions of someone who is
responsible for their safety. Do not let children play with
the unit or to clean or maintain it without supervision.
• The cooker fan has a fan that leads any cooking smells
directly outside through a separate ventilation duct.
• The cooker fan can be stopped when there is no need
for increased ventilation in the kitchen. The standard
ventilation in the kitchen is completed using the
ventilation system of the apartment.

MAINTENANCE
Keep the cooker fan clean. Wipe outer surfaces regularly
with water containing a small amount of a mild detergent.
Clean o any grease stains immediately. Do not use abrasive
or corrosive detergents or tools.
Keep the grease filter clean to ensure an adequate extract air
flow. The grease filter must be washed with warm water and
detergent at least 1-2 times a month.
Light
The cooker fan has a long-lasting LED lighting module. If the
light is not working, contact a servicing company.
Removing and mounting the grease filter
Removing the filter Mounting the filter
• Pull the locking device of the grease filter towards the
front edge of the cooker fan while pulling the grease
filter downwards until it comes o.
• Wash the grease filter and leave to dry.
• Mount the grease filter back in place. Push the front
edge of the filter into the pins on the cooker fan and
click the rear edge in place.
NOTE! Ensure that the locking device points
downwards.
INSTALLATION
In the example, the bottom of the sides and the rear of the
cooker fan are level with the bottom of the top cabinets
(see figures 1-2). In this case, a specially made cover panel
is needed to hide the fan. The height of the cover panel is
roughly 210 mm.
The cooker fan can also be mounted higher, even so that
it touches the frame of the spice cabinet. In this case, rear
corners need to be sawn o from the spice cabinet frame
(see figure 3). In this mounting method, the height of the
cooker fan cover panel is 100 mm.
When the lowest possible mounting height is used, the
bottom edge of the sliding glass, when pushed inside the
cooker fan, is level with the bottom of the top cabinet frames
(see figure 4). The L strip is mounted on the wall as shown
in figure 5. In this mounting method, the height of the hood
cover panel is roughly 248 mm.
Figure 1.
Remove the spice cabinet. Mount the L strip on the wall so
that it is level.
The L strip fully covers the gap between the cooker fan and
the wall and also makes it easier to balance the fan in place
during mounting.
If the top cabinet frames are less than 305 mm deep, the
longer edge of the L strip is mounted on the wall. The
perforations on the lower surface of the L strip can be
covered using white plastic studs.
Figure 5.
Location of the L strip when the lowest cooker fan mounting
height is used.
Where required, the cooker fan can also be fastened on the
wall with corner mounts from the top of the fan enclosure.
PLEASE NOTE!
The minimum distance of the bottom edge of the cooker
fan to an electric cooker is 426 mm and to a gas cooker
650 mm.

PLEASE NOTE!
• The cooker fan must not be connected to a flue that
is used for removing combustion gases (e.g. from a
wood- or gas-burning fireplace, cooker, or stove).
• Regulations on leading extraction air outdoors must be
observed.
PLEASE NOTE!
• The power outlet used for the cooker fan must be
easy to access.
Figure 2.
Place the cooker fan on top of the L strip so that it is level
and fasten the fan on the top cabinet frames with four
screws. It is vital that the cooker fan is both vertically and
horizontally level. The front panel of the cooker fan must be
at the same depth as the outer surface of the top cabinet
doors.
Figure 3.
If the highest possible mounting height is used, saw o
diagonal pieces measuring at least 20x50 mm from the spice
cabinet frame.
