Using the hood
— The hood is provided with a motor with
several speeds. For the best perform-
ance, we recommend using the low
speeds in normal conditions and the high
speeds in particular cases of strong
odour and vapour concentration.
— We recommend starting up the hood a
few minutes before cooking and keeping
it running until all the odours have been
eliminated.
— To start the appliance, pull the control
panel downwards for access to the light
and motor switches.
The hood has a microswitch so that once
the motor speed has been selected and the
light switched on, the hood can be started
by simply pulling out the control panel.
When the panel is closed, the hood
switches off.
The control panel can be positioned at the
desired angle to light the cooking area.
Warning!
— This appliance is designed to be
operated by adults. Children should not
be allowed to tamper with the controls
or play with the appliance .
— The hood cannot be connected to flues
of other appliances that run on energy
sources other than electricity.
— When the hood is used at the same time
of other appliances that run on energy
sources other than electricity, provision
must be made for an adequate supply of
air.
— No food must be cooked flambé
underneath the hood.
The use of an unprotected flame is
dangerous for the filters and could cau-
se fires.
Therefore, never use an open flame
under the hood. When frying foods, never
leave the pan alone because the cooking
oil could flare up.
— Please, keep to the provisions of official
directives regarding the question of fume
discharge.
— The manufacturers refuse to accept any
responsibility for damage to the hood or
its catching on fire because of failure to
observe the above instructions.
Maintenance
Before performing any maintenance opera-
tion, isolate the hood from the electrical sup-
ply by switching off at the connector and
removing the connector fuse.
Or if the appliance has been connected
through a plug and socket, then the plug
must be removed from the socket.
Metal grease filter
This serves to hold the grease particles in
suspension.
The metal grease filter last forever and must
be washed at least once a month either by
hand or in the dishwasher (65°C) with suit-
able detergents. Let the metal grease filters
dry without damaging them before putting
them back into place.
Removing the metal grease filter (Fig.
10):
1 - push the grease filter handle backwards
2 - then pull downwards.
After having cleaned refit the metal filter on
its housing proceeding in reverse order.
Carbon filter
This filter dissolves cooking odours.
The carbon filter must never be washed.
It should be changed every 6 months in
normal use.
— Remove the grease filters.
— To remove the carbon filter, push the
push-buttons B inwards and pull the fil-
ter downwards (Fig. 3).
— Install the new carbon filter.
— Refit the grease filter.
Cleaning
To clean the outside of the hood use a cloth
moistened with denatured alcohol or neu-
tral liquid detergents. Never use products
containing abrasive.
Wipe brushed stainless steel in the same
direction as the brushing to avoid
scratching.
