INSTALLATION
BEFORE MOUNTING THE APPLIANCE
ENSURE the oven cavity is empty before mounting.
ENSURE that the appliance is not damaged before mounting
it in the cabinet.
CHECK THATALL MATERIALfor mounting the appliance is sup-
plied in the package.
IFTHE COOKER HOOD IS USED TOGETHER WITH OTHER AP-
PLIANCES which consume the air in the room
(e.g. gas, diesel oil or coal appliances, water-
heaters, boilers) remember that the hood as-
pires air from the room which may therefore
not be sufficient for burning.
THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED to be mounted
over electrical or gas cooker ranges only!
The distance between the cooker range
and bottom part of this appliance must
be at least 460 mm for electrical cooker
ranges and at least 650 mm for gas cook-
er ranges.
THE MANUFACTURER MUST BE CONTACTED for the mini-
mum mounting distance where:
Electrical range:
The cooker range has more than 4 hob el-
ements.
The two rear elements exceed a rating of 2
kW per element.
The two front hob elements exceed a rat-
ing of 1.5 kW per element.
Gas range:
The gas burner develop more than 3.2 kw
per burner
The cooker range develop more than 10
kw in total.
EXTERNALEVACUATION:
THE FLANGE has a Ø 120 mm opening so that,
evacuation pipes with Ø 120 mm can be
mounted.
EVACUATION SHOULD NOT be through a ue
used for the evacuation of other vapours
or burnt gas, that is through a pipe used
as a ue for open ame sources.
COOKER HOODS AND OTHER APPLIANCES REQUIRING A
FLUE, can only be used together safely if there
is a maximum depression of 0.04 mbar in room
which prevents the reabsorbing of the burnt
gases.
This is possible only if the combustion air is
evacuated through non-closing apertures such
as doors, windows, wall boxes for the supply
and evacuation of air or similar technical devic-
es such as reciprocal blocking devices or sim-
ilar. If you are not certain call a qualified tech-
nician.
NOTE: For best function keep the kitchen win-
dows closed when using the fan. If not you
have no negative pressure in the kitchen. But
one window in an adjacent room ought to be
open.
FOR EVACUATION use flexible aluminium pipes or
sheet plate pipes which are resistant to corro-
sion.
IFYOU ARE INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE TO ANUNUSED
FLUE for the evacuation of vapour’s or burnt
gas, we recommend that you request the ad-
vice and approval of a competent technician
before making the installation.
DONOT USE INFLAMMABLE PLASTIC PIPES. Al-
ways ensure that the evacuation chan-
nels and pipes are as short as possible.
DONOT MOUNT THE PIPES ATRIGHT ANGLES. They
must always be curved and should be fitted
into the flue at an upward angle. The diameter
of the pipe must not narrow towards the top.
THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FANwill be reduced with
small diameter pipes.

shock, re or other hazards may result.
DONOT REMOVE THE MICROWAVE INLET PROTECTION
PLATES located on the side of the oven cavity
wall. They prevent grease & food particles from

structions when installing the appliance.
INTERNALRECIRCULATION
THE COOKER HOOD is used with the internal recir-
culation system when there is no pipe or open-
ing on the external wall. In the case of internal
recirculation, the optional carbon filter must
be installed for the absorption of the cooking
vapours.
THE INTERNALRECIRCULATION COOKER HOOD – with
carbon filter is in no way dangerous.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DONOT HEAT, OR USE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS in
or near the oven. Fumes can create a re
hazard or explosion.
DONOT USE YOUR APPLIANCE FOR DRYING TEX-
TILES, PAPER, SPICES, HERBS, WOOD, FLOWERS,
FRUIT OR OTHER COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. FIRE
COULD RESULT.
DONOT OVER-COOK FOOD. Fire could result.
DONOT LEAVE THE OVEN UNATTENDED, espe-
cially when using paper, plastic or oth-
er combustible materials in the cook-
ing process. Paper can char or burn and
some plastics can melt if used when
heating foods.
IFMATERIALINSIDE / OUTSIDE THE OVEN SHOULD
IGNITE OR SMOKE IS OBSERVED, keep oven
door closed and turn the oven o. Dis-
connect the power cord or shut o pow-
er at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
ONLY ALLOW CHILDREN to use the oven without
adult supervision after adequate instruc-
tions have been given so that the child is
able to use the oven in a safe way and un-
derstands the hazards of improper use.
The appliance is not intended for use by
young children or infirm persons without
supervision. Young children should be su-
pervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
If your oven has a combination mode, chil-
dren should only use the oven under adult
supervision due to the high temperatures
generated.
DONOT USE YOUR APPLIANCE FOR
HEATING ANYTHING IN AIRTIGHT
SEALED CONTAINERS. THE PRES-
SURE INCREASES AND MAY
CAUSE DAMAGE WHEN OPENING OR
MAY EXPLODE.
EGGS
DONOT USE THE MICROWAVE FUNCTION for cook-
ing or reheating whole eggs with or
without shell since they may
explode even after microwave
heating has ended.
THE DOOR SEALS AND THE DOOR SEAL AREAS must
be regularly inspected for damage. If these
areas are damaged the appliance should
not be operated until it has been repaired
by a trained service technician.
DONOT USE corrosive chemicals or va-
pors in this appliance. This type of oven
is specically designed to heat or cook
food. It is not designed for industrial or
laboratory use.
IFTHE FILTER IS DAMAGED it must be re-
placed. Do not use the extractor hood
without the lter. It is not designed for
such operation.
NEVER PREPARE ”FLAMBÉ” DISHES under the
cooker hood!
NEVER USE ANOPEN FLAMEunder the hood.
The use of an unprotected ame is dan-
gerous for the lters and could cause
res.
NEVER LEAVE THE PANALONE when frying
foods. The cooking oil can easily are up.
This is a potential re hazard!
The manufacturers refuse to accept any responsibil-
ity for damage to the hood or its catching on fire be-
cause of failure to observe the above instructions.

GENERAL
THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED FOR DOMESTIC USE ONLY!
THE APPLIANCE SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED without food
in the oven when using microwaves. Operation in
this manner is likely to damage the appliance.
IFYOU PRACTICE OPERATING the oven, put a glass
of water inside. The water will absorb the mi-
crowave energy and the oven will not be dam-
aged.
REMOVE WIRE TWIST-TIES from paper or
plastic bags before placing bag in
the oven.
DEEPFRYING
DONOT USE YOUR APPLIANCE FOR DEEP-FRYING, BECAUSE
THE OIL TEMPERATURE CANNOT BE CONTROLLED.
LIQUIDS
E.G. BEVERAGES OR WATER. Overheating the liquid
beyond boiling point can occur
without evidence of bubbling.
This could result in a sudden
boil over of the hot liquid.
To prevent this possibility the
following steps should be taken:
1. Avoid using straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
2. Stir the liquid before placing the container
in the oven and let the teaspoon remain
in the container.
3. After heating, allow standing for a short
time, stirring again before carefully re-
moving the container from the oven.
CAREFUL
ALWAYS REFER to a microwave cookbook for de-
tails. Especially, if cooking or reheating food
that contains alcohol.
AFTER HEATING BABY FOOD or liquids in a
baby bottle or in a baby food
jar, always stir and check the
temperature before serving.
This will ensure that the heat is evenly distributed
and the risk of scalding or burns can be avoided.
Ensure the Lid and the Teat is removed be-
fore heating!
PRECAUTIONS
USE HOT PADS OR OVEN MITTS to prevent
burns, when touching containers, oven
parts, and pan after cooking.
DONOT USE THE CAVITY for any storage purposes.

IFACCESSORIES CONTAINING METALcomes in contact
with the oven interior, while the oven is in op-
eration, sparking can occur and the oven could
be damaged.
ALWAYS ENSURE that the turntable is able to turn
freely before starting the oven. If the turntable
isn’t able to turn freely you should use a small-
er vessel.
ACCESSORIES
GENERAL
ENSURE THATTHE UTENSILS YOU USE are oven proof
and allow microwaves to
pass through them before
cooking.
THERE ARE a number of accessories available on
the market. Before you buy, ensure they are
suitable for microwave use.
CARBON FILTER
THE CARBON FILTER effectively absorbs the va-
pours from the kitchen range.
ITIS NOT WASHABLE AND MUST BE REPLACED ATREGU-
LARINTERVALS and can be obtained via your lo-
cal dealer.
SUPPLIED
OPTIONAL
TURNTABLE SUPPORT
USE THE TURNTABLE SUPPORT un-
der the Glass turntable. Nev-
er put any other utensils on
the turntable support.
Fit the turntable support
in the oven.
GLASS TURNTABLE
USE THE GLASS TURNTABLE with all cooking meth-
ods. It collects the dripping
juices and food particles
that otherwise would stain
and soil the interior of the oven.
Place the Glass turntable on
the turntable support.
WHEN YOU PUT FOOD AND ACCESSORIES in the micro-
wave oven, ensure that they do not come in
contact with the interior of the oven.
This is especially important with accessories
made of metal or metal parts.
