MAINTENANCE
Keep the cooker fan 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 fan 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 fan 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 fan and
click the rear edge in place.
NOTE! Ensure that the locking device points
downwards.
INSTALLATION
In the example, the bottom of the sides and the rear of the
cooker fan 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 fan. The height of the cover panel is
roughly 210 mm.
The cooker fan can also be mounted 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
cooker fan cover panel is 100 mm.
When the lowest possible mounting height is used, the
bottom edge of the sliding glass, when pushed inside the
cooker fan, 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 cooker fan and
the wall and also makes it easier to balance the fan 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.

height is used.
Where required, the cooker fan can also be fastened on the
wall with corner mounts from the top of the fan enclosure.
PLEASE NOTE!
The minimum distance of the bottom edge of the cooker
fan to an electric cooker is 426 mm and to a gas cooker
650 mm.

PLEASE NOTE!
• The cooker fan 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).
• Regulations on leading extraction air outdoors must be
observed.
PLEASE NOTE!
• The power outlet used for the cooker fan must be
easy to access.
Figure 2.
Place the cooker fan on top of the L strip so that it is level
and fasten the fan on the top cabinet frames with four
screws. It is vital that the cooker fan is both vertically and
horizontally level. The front panel of the cooker fan 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.
