Using the cooker hood
Best results are obtained by using a low speed for
normal conditions and a high speed when odours
are more concentrated.
Turn the hood on a few minutes before you start
cooking.
The hood should be left on after cooking for about
15 minutes or until all the odours have disappeared.
The control switches are located on the hoods
front panel:
Correct ventilation
If the cooker hood is to work correctly there must
be an under pressure in the kitchen. It is important
to keep the kitchen windows closed and have a
window in an adjacent room open.

Disconnect the cooker hood from the power supply prior to cleaning the appliance, either by removing the
plug from the mains or removing the fuse.
Clean the filter regularly. The grease deposits in the filter and discharge tube are fire hazards where a
hotplate (or another heat source) is left on by error.
Maintenance and cleaning

Cleaning the hood
Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth
and a mild detergent.
Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable
cleaning products.
Cleaning the grease filters
Clean the filter every month or every other month
according to how much the hood is used.
The cleaner the filters, the more grease they
collect. To remove the filters,
Fig. 3
:
First of all, push the stop on the metal grease
filter back, and then extract the filter by pulling
downward.
The filter is made of aluminium wires on which the
grease collects. Clean the filter in hot water using a
detergent, or in a dishwasher. Let the filter dry
before putting it back. Note that a dishwasher may
discolour the filter.
must be taken if the hood is used at the same time
as a burner or fireplace (e.g. gas, diesel, coal or
wood heaters, water heaters, etc.), as the hood will
expel air which is required by these other
appliances. In this situation, ensure that a window
is open. The negative pressure in the room must
not exceed 0,04 mbar to prevent fumes being
drawn back into the room by the cooker hood.
