MAINTENANCE
Keep the cooker hood clean. Wipe outer surfaces regularly
with water containing a small amount of a mild detergent.
Clean off 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 hood has a long-lasting LED lighting module. If
the light is not working, contact a servicing company.

INSTALLATION
In the example, the bottom of the sides and the rear of the
hood 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 hood. The height of the cover panel is
roughly 210 mm.
The hood can also be installed higher, even so that it touches
the frame of the spice cabinet. In this case, rear corners need
to be sawn off from the spice cabinet frame (see figure 3). In
this mounting method, the height of the hood cover panel is
100 mm.
When the lowest possible mounting height is used, the
bottom edge of the sliding glass, when pushed inside the
hood, 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 hood and the
wall and also makes it easier to balance the hood 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.
• Pull the locking device of the grease filter towards the
front edge of the cooker hood while pulling the grease
filter downwards until it comes off.
• 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 hood, and
click the rear edge in place.
NOTE! Ensure that the locking device points
downwards.
PLEASE NOTE!
• The cooker hood 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).
• Fans that are controlled through the cooker hood must
have an engine cover and their maximum power is 340 W.
• Regulations on leading extraction air outdoors must be
observed.
PLEASE NOTE!
The minimum distance of the bottom edge of the hood
to an electric cooker is 426 mm and to a gas cooker
650 mm.
Figure 2.
Place the hood on top of the L strip so that it is level and
fasten the hood on the top cabinet frames with four screws. It
is vital that the hood is both vertically and horizontally level.
The front panel of the hood 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 off
diagonal pieces measuring at least 20x50 mm from the spice
cabinet frame.
