MANU
AL
VENTILATION CONTROL
In buildings with a centralized ventilation that allows the
residents to boost extraction during cooking, this is done using
the adjustment damper of the hood.
The cooker hood meets the requirements set for a fire damper
and for sound-dampening between apartments.
USING THE COOKER HOOD
The cooker hood has a sliding glass that can be pulled out of the
cooker hood. It is recommended that the sliding glass be pushed
or pulled from the aluminum strip on its front edge. Pull the glass
out of the cooker hood for maximal extraction capacity.
Position of the damper
In normal circumstances, the damper must be closed (the
signal light is off), which boosts the extract air flow from other
premises.
The damper must be open (the signal light is turned on) when
the user wants to increase the extract air flow from the cooker
hood e.g.
• when the cooker top or the oven is used for cooking or
• the load in the kitchen is exceptional due to the use of
strong detergents, presence of a large number of people,
or similar.
Touch the button on the damper to open it and to start the timer.
The damper will close automatically within 60 minutes. When
the damper is closed, air extraction from other premises is
increased.
Front panel buttons
The front panel of the cooker hood has two buttons.
Cooker hood light
Turn the light on or off by pressing the light switch. The light is
dimmable. Adjust the brightness by pressing the light switch until
the brightness is adequate.
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.
Removing and mounting the grease filter
Removing the filter
Mounting the filter
• 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!
• Neglecting the cleaning of the grease filter can cause
a fire hazard.
• The outer surfaces of the hood can become hot when
the cooker or the oven is turned on.
• Flaming is forbidden underneath the cooker hood.
• Always follow the instructions provided on adjusting
the efficiency of ventilation.
• Enable a sufficient supply airflow into the room if
the cooker hood and non-electric devices are used
simultaneously.
Other functions
Guard function
The cooker hood is equipped with a guard function that is
activated when the temperature of the cooker hood exceeds
60°C or after a sudden increase in temperature (> 8°C/min). In
such a case, all signal lights of the cooker hood and the LED light
will flash. If this kind of alarm is noticed before fire damage, it can
be acknowledged by pressing any of the cooker hood buttons.
Pre-selection of light brightness
The hood has a button for adjusting the brightness of the light.
The location of the button is not marked on the front panel but
can be found roughly 2 cm to the left of the light switch.
To modify the pre-selection of light brightness:
1. Turn on the light, close the damper, and set the ventilation
to the Away profile.
2. Press the selection button for roughly 3 seconds until the
setting mode signal light starts to flash.
3. Adjust the brightness of the light by pressing the light
button until the brightness is adequate.
4. To save the setting, press the selection button for roughly 3
seconds until the setting mode signal light stops to flash.
