MAINTENANCE
Keep the house extraction 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 house extraction 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 house extraction 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 hood, 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
house extraction 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 house extraction 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 house extraction 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
house extraction fan, is level with the bottom of the top
cabinets (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 house extraction
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.

mounting height is used.
PLEASE NOTE!
The minimum distance of the bottom edge of the house
extraction fan to an electric cooker is 426 mm, and to a
gas cooker 650 mm.
PLEASE NOTE!
• The house extract 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 house extraction fan
must be easy to access.
Figure 2.
Place the house extraction 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 house extraction fan is both
vertically and horizontally level. The front panel of the house
extraction 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.
