FOR THE USER
DEFINITION
- These appliance are extendable hoods designed to be installed in the place of a tall
60 cm wide kitchen unit.
- They can be adapted to all units in which the body depth (excluding the door) is
between 270 mm and 360 mm and with a minimum height of 350 mm.
- The hood draws in cooking vapors and evacuates them to the outdoors (evacuation
version) or returns them into the kitchen after passing through an active carbon filter
in which they are purified (“recycling” version).
- A front panel is fixed to the hood auvent for aesthetic continuity of the upper kitchen
units.
- Important: on delivery, the hood is equipped to operate in the “outdoors evacuation”
version.
- For use in the recycling version, install the active carbon kit reference that you can
order from your Fitter.
Important Recommendations
- In a kitchen heated with an appliance connected to a chimney (for example stove,
cooker, etc.), install the “recycling” version of the hood and check that there is
adequate room ventilation (fresh air).
- Preferably use the cooking areas at the back of your appliance.
- Operate the hood for a few minutes before starting cooking.
- Use low speed for simmering and dishes which produce little steam. (This speed
can also be used to ventilate the kitchen).
- Use the high extraction speed for normal use.
- When producing large quantities of steam during cooking, use the high extraction
speed and keep the hood operating after finishing cooking (about 15 or 30 minutes).
For your safety, and to respect our guarantee conditions:
- Do not connect the hood to smoke or extraction ducts already being used.
- Check that the mains voltage is the same as the values stated on the identification
plate inside the hood.
- Do not flambé food underneath the hood (the flames drawn in could damage the
filters or create a fire risk).
- Deep frying equipment under the appliance must be constantly monitored.
- Regularly clean the grease filters.
