IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS(CONTINUED)
Electrical connection
Check that the mains voltage matches with the voltage
on the data plate inside the canopy rangehood.
Check that the installation complies with standards of local
building, gas and electrical authorities. Before connecting
to the mains supply ensure that the mains voltage
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate inside the
cooker hood.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or similarly qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.
Safety warnings - for the installer
When installing the cooker hood, make sure you adhere
to the minumum and maximum distances from the cooker
hood base to the hob surface (refer to page 7).
Exhaust flue installation: The following rules must be
strictly followed to obtain optimal air extraction.
Keep exhaust flue short and straight.
Do not reduce the size or restrict exhaust flue.
Keep bends in the exhaust flue to a minimum.
When using flexible flue always install duct with helix
pulled taut to minimise pressure loss.
Failure to observe these basic instructions will
drastically reduce the performance and increase the
nosie levels of the cooker hood.
Exhaust air must not be discharged into a wall cavity,
unless the cavity is designed for that purpose. The
exhaust from the cooker hood must not be discharged
into any heating flue, which may carry combustion
products from other sources.
NOTE: Some installations may require the telescopic
exhaust cover to be cut to length. Cut with sharp tin snips
or a fine-tooth hack saw blade, taking care not to distort
or dent the exhaust cover.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
There is a fire risk if cleaning is not carried out in accordance
with the instructions.
The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for
exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels
(not applicable to appliances that only discharge the air
back into the room)
Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.
CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when used with
cooking appliances.

or ducted mode we recommended to extend the flue
To ensure optimum performance of the rangehood, the use
of bends should be avoided. Straight, rigid and short ducting is
recommended to use. All ducting must be fire retardant.
Exhaust air must not be discharged into a wall cavity,
unless the cavity is designed for the purpose.

USING YOUR RANGEHOOD
Best results are obtained by using a low speed for
normal conditions and high speed when odours are
concentrated.
Turn on the hood on a few minutes before you start
cooking.
The hood should be left on for a minimum of 5
minutes after cooking or until all odours have
dispersed.
The control switch are located on the front of
the unit. See below
Turning on/off the lamp
Press button to turn on the lamp, press once again
to turn off the lamp.
Turning on/off the fan
Press button , or to choose different fan speed according
to cooking conditions, press button to turn off the fan
NOTE: This product is fitted with a safety cutout device.
If the cooker hood is installed too close to the cooktop,
flambe cooking, operating the cooktop without cooking
utensils and blocked filters may activate the safety cutout
device.
CARE & MAINTENENCE
External surfaces are susceptible to scratches and
abrasions, so please follow the cleaning instructions
to ensure the best possible result is achieved without
damage.
Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and
a solution of water and mild washing up liquid. Clean
the surfaces using non-abrasive cleaning products.
Use of a soft cloth reduce the risk of scratching. If
the cloth is wet ensure that a dry soft cloth is used
to wipe down the surface.
Cleaning the hood
Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning
products or products containing bleach.
Never insert pointed objects in the motors protective
grid.
Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grill using a
damp cloth and mild washing up liquid.
It is extremely important to clean the unit and change
the filters at the recommended intervals. Failure to do
so will cause grease deposits that could cause a fire.
Removing the metal grease filters
Push the grease filter and then pull it down and out.
USING YOUR RANGEHOOD

CARE & MAINTENANCE
Changing the LED lamps
If LED lamps need replacing, they must be replaced by
lamps as stated in the technical specifications.
Remove the lamp cover by releasing the screw and replace
the new E14 LED lamps.
Ensure that the appliance is switched off before carrying
out maintenance to avoid any possibility of electric shock.
Suitable lamp for replacement
Lamp type: LED
Fixing type: E14
Voltage: 220~240V AC
Power: 2W
Hand washing
Soak grease filter for about one hour in hot water with
a grease-loosening cleaner, then rinse off thoroughly
with hot water. Repeat the process if necessary. Refit
the grease filters when they are dry.
Dish washer
Place grease filters in the dishwasher. Select the most
powerful washing program and highest temperature,at
least 65℃. Repeat the process. Refit the grease filters
when they are dry. When washing the metal grease filter
in the dishwasher a slight discolouration of the filter can
occur, this does not have any impact on it’s performance.
Note: The metal grease filters must be removed and
washed, either by hand or in the dishwasher, every four
weeks minimum.
Clean the inner housing using warm water and grease
loosening cleaner(never use caustic detergents,
abrasive powders or brushes).
Charcoal filter
The charcoal filter should only be used if you want to
use the hood in the recirculation function.
This filter cannot be cleaned or re-used and as a
general rule, the activated charcoal filter should be
changed once every four months.
Fitting charcoal filter
Fit one charcoal filter on the left and one on the right so
as to cover the plastic grids that protect the fan wheel as
indicated Fig.17.
Always specify the hood model code number and
serial number when ordering replacement filters.This
information is shown on the registration plate located
on the inside of this unit.
Replacement charcoal filters can be ordered from
your local service centre.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE 11
Ensure that the appliance is switched off before cleaning
inner housing to avoid any possibility of electric shock.
