USE OF VENTILATION
OPERA
TING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
In buildings with dwelling-specific ventilation the
resident can have an impact on the power of
ventilation. Adjustment takes place according to use
situation at the ventilation power controller, which is
situated either in the cooker hood or in a separate
control centre.
Normal operation (position 2 or 3)
Ventilation has to be continuous: the air volume of the
dwelling has to be changed at least every two hours.
"Away" operation (position 1)
When the dwelling is empty, ventilation can be lowered
from the normal operation position unless it puts the
structures or the ventilation system in danger.
Boost operation (positions 3 and 4)
Cooking, taking a sauna bath, washing, drying of
clothes, use of toilet, having guests, overheat or a
similar situation may cause a need for more powerful
ventilation than normally. This can be implemented by
boosting ventilation on the whole or for specific rooms.
As an example, the damper of the cooker hood is kept
open during cooking, but at other times it is shut or in
the minimum position.
Cooker hood operating controls
The cooker hood operates in the dwelling as a
local extraction valve of the cooker and the
general extraction valve in the kitchen and as the
adjustment device for the ventilation system.
NOTE!
In order to produce a sufficient
exchange of air, follow the venti-
lation plan that defines the posi-
tion of the controller in a normal
living situation.

Rotary-actuated, self closing
damper, equipped with a timer.
Turned to the right, the damper opens,
when the timer switches on and will
close the damper automatically within
60 minutes.
Damper in the open position
• Boosts the capacity to capture
cooking odours.
• Cooking on a cooker or in the oven.
• Unusual load situation in the kitchen
(such as using heavy detergents or
a large number of guests).

USE OF COOKER HOOD
• SLIM-LINE cooker hood is equipped with a
withdrawable glass. It is recommended to hold
the edging strips of the glass when pulling the
glass out and pushing it in.
• In boosted operation situations, such as during
cooking, it is recommended to pull the glass out
to the maximum position. This increases the
capacity of the hood to capture cooking odours.
• In other situations, such as during basic ventilation,
the glass can be pushed in to the minimum
position.
Closing ventilation in the dwelling also prevents the supply of pure outdoor air into the dwelling as well as the taking out of dirty air. Impurities coming from
people, structures and the earth, such as carbon dioxide, humidity, smells, formaldehyde, dust and radon, quickly spoil room air and cause health damage.
Excessive humidity may destroy structures and cause mould and fungal growth. Because of this the building regulations require that ventilation is in operation all
the time and that its power is adjusted as needed by the user.
WARNING
Changing lamps
Removing and cleaning grease filter
• Pull the glass of the cooker hood out to the
max. position.
• Turn the quick fasteners on the bottom plate
of the hood open (1).
• Turn the bottom plate to the lower position.
• Remove the grease filter from its holder (2).
• Wash the filter at least 1 to 2 times a month
with warm water and detergent, manually or
in a dishwasher.
• When the cooker is used a lot, wash the filter
sufficiently often.
• Pull the glass of the cooker hood out to the
max. position.
• Remove the protective glass of the lamp by
moving it to the left (3).
• Remove the lamp by pulling it to the left (4).
• Lamp type fluorescent lamp PL (11 W).
NOTE! Neglecting the instructions given for cleaning the grease
filter may cause a fire risk.
Also take care of the external tidiness of the
cooker hood. Detergents meant for the cleaning
of stove enamelled and plastic surfaces are
suitable for the cleaning.
In order to ensure a sufficient extract air volume,
take care of the cleanliness of the grease filter.
Clean the grease filter often enough by
removing it and washing it carefully.
