Operation
Description of control panel and hood operation
a. on/off light switch
b. on/off aspiration switch and power selection
Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen
vapours. It is recommended that the cooker hood suction is switched
on for 5 minutes prior to cooking and to leave in operation during
cooking and for another 15 minutes approximately after terminating
cooking.
Cleaning
The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly internally and externally.
For cleaning use a cloth moistened with denatured alcohol or neutral
liquid detergents. Avoid abrasive detergents.
Failure to carry out the basic standards of the cleaning of the cooker
hood and replacement of the filters may cause fire risks.
Cleaning the glass vapour screen (available only in some models)
The glass be dismounted and cleaned using a normal glass detergent.
Instructions for removing the glass (Fig. 12):
1. Remove the grease filter.
2. Lightly push the glass downwards and allow it slide forwards.
3. Remove the glass allowing it to rotate slightly.
After cleaning, follow the instructions in reverse to remount the glass.
Maintenance
Prior to any maintenance operation ensure that the cooker hood is
disconnected from the power supply.
Grease filter
This must be cleaned once a month using non aggressive detergents,
either by hand or in the dish-washer, which must be set to a low
temperature and a short cycle.
When washed in a dish-washer, the grease filter may discolour
slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.
To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle (f) towards
the opposite side of the cooker hood and extract the filter - (Fig. 9).
Charcoal filter (filter version only)
It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.
Two carbon filters are required for cooker hoods with two motors and
one filter for cooker hoods with one motor.
The carbon filter should be replaced every 4 months in cases of
normal use, or more frequently for intensive use of the cooker hood.
The carbon filter may NOT be washed or regenerated.
Place the carbon filter in order to cover the protection grill for the
motor fan wheel, then turn the central handle of the filter
clockwise (Fig. 10).
To dismount the central handle of the filter turn the handle anti-
clockwise.
Attention, to be carried out only the first time the
carbon filter is removed!
To avoid damage during transport, the handle of the carbon
filter is blocked with a screw.
Remove the screw before dismantling every carbon filter;
the screw is not to be reused.
Replacing lamps - Fig. 4
Firstly check that the lamps are well cooled prior to replacing
them.
Access the lamp housing area:
remove the lamp holder using a small screwdriver or similar
tool as a lever.
Replace the damaged light bulb.
Use only 40W max (E14) olive shape light bulbs.
Then close the lamp housing (snap lock).
If the lights do not work, make sure that the lamps are fitted
properly into their housings before you call for technical
assistance.
Caution
This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Children should
not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the appliance.
Do not use the cooker hood where the grill is not correctly fixed! The
suctioned air must not be conveyed in the same channel used for
fumes discharged by appliances powered by other than electricity.
The environment must always be adequately aerated when the
cooker hood and other appliances powered by other than electricity
are used at the same time. Flambé cooking with a cooker hood is
prohibited. The use of a free flame is damaging to the filters and may
cause fire accidents, therefore free flame cooking must be avoided.
Frying of foods must be kept under close control in order to avoid
overheated oil catching fire. Carry out fumes discharging in
accordance with the regulations in force by local laws for safety and
technical restrictions.
