NOTES ON SAFETY
-
Before using the appliance, please carefully read this manual!
-
The appliance is designed for household use only.
-
The manufacturer reserves the right to introduce changes, which do not affect operation of the appliance.
-
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage or fire caused by the appliance resulting from failure to follow instructions in this manual.
-
Cooker hood is designed to remove cooking odours. Do not use cooker hood for other purposes.
-
Connect the cooker hood operating in extraction mode to a suitable ventilation duct (do NOT connect the cooker to smoke or fluegas ducts, which are in use).
It requires installation of the air extraction duct to the outside. The length of the duct (usually a pipe of Ø 120 or 150 mm) should not be longer than 4-5 m. An air extraction duct is also required for telescopic and furniture hoods in absorption mode. -
Cooker hood operating in air recirculation mode requires the installation of an activated charcoal filter. In this case, installing an extractor duct is not required, however it is recommended to install an air guide vane (Mainly in chimney cooker hoods).
-
The cooker hood features independent lighting and exhaust fan that can be operated at one of several speeds.
-
Depending on the type, the hood is designed to be permanently attached to a vertical wall over a gas or electric stove (chimney and universal hoods); on the ceiling over a gas or electric stove (island hoods); on the vertical built in furniture over a gas or electric stove (telescopic and built- in hoods). Before installing, make sure that the wall/ceiling structure is strong enough to suspend the hood. Some hoods are very heavy.
-
For details of the installation distance above an electric hob please refer to product technical sheet If the installation instructions of the gas cooker specify a greater distance, this must be taken into account (Fig. 1).
-
Do not leave an open flame under the hood. When the pots are removed from the burner, set the minimum flame. Always make sure that the flame does not extend outside the pot, because it causes unwanted loss of energy and a dangerous concentration of heat.
-
When cooking on fat, supervise the pans constantly, because overheated fat can ignite.
-
Unplug the appliance before any cleaning, replacing the filter or repair work.
-
Cooker hood grease filter should be cleaned at least once a month, because the filter saturated with fat is flammable.
-
Ensure adequate ventilation (air flow) if other equipment such as liquid fuel stoves or heaters are operated in the room in addition the cooker hood. When the cooker hood is simultaneously operated with burning appliances requiring adequate fresh air from the room to work properly, their safe operation is possible if under pressure around these appliances is a maximum of 0.004 mbar (this does not apply when the cooker hood is used as an odour filter)
-
Do not lean on the hood.
-
The hood should be cleaned regularly both inside and out (AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH, following the indications concerning maintenance provided in this manual)..Failure to adhere to the rules concerning cleaning the hood and replacing filters results in a fire risk.
-
If the power cord is damaged it should be re- placed by a specialised service centre.
-
Ensure that it is possible to disconnect the ap-pliance from the mains by removing the plug or switching off the bi-polar switch.
-
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with physical, mental or sensory handicaps, or by persons inexperienced or unfamiliar with the appliance, unless under supervision or in accordance with the instructions as communicated to them by persons responsible for their safety.
-
Particular attention should be paid not to allow unaccompanied children to use the appliance.
-
Make sure voltage indicated on the nameplate corresponds to the local mains supply voltage.
-
Before use, extend and straighten the power cord.
-
Packaging materials (bags, polyethylene, polystyrene, etc.) should be kept away from children during unpacking.
-
Before connecting the hood to the mains power supply always check that the power cord is properly installed and is not trapped by the appliance. Do not connect the appliance to the mains until assembly is complete.
-
Do not operate your kitchen hood without the al- uminium grease filters.
-
It is strictly forbidden to cook dishes under on an open flame (flambé) under your kitchen hood.
-
Always strictly adhere to regulations issued by the competent local authorities regarding the technical and safety requirements for fume extraction.
-
Failing to tighten bolts and fasteners in accordance with these instructions may endanger life and health.
-
Hanging kitchen hoods operate only in air circu- lation / odour absorber mode
-
WARNING! Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards.

fan operation.
Other important information concerning the operation of the hood
Operation in air circulation / odour filter mode. In this mode, the filtered
air returns to the room through the outlets. Install activated charcoal filter
in this setting. It is recommended to install the air guide (available
depending on the model, mainly in chimney cooker hoods).
Air extraction operation: When cooker hood operates in extraction mode, air is
discharged outside through an extraction duct. Remove activated charcoal
filter in this setting. The cooker hood is connected to the air outlet opening
using a rigid or flexible extraction duct with a diameter of 150 or 120 mm,
and the appropriate clamps, which must be purchased at a hardware store. The
appliance should be installed by a qualified installer.
Fan speed: Lowest and medium fan speed is used in normal conditions and less
intense odours, while the highest speed is used only when cooking odours are
very intense, such as during frying or grilling.
Note (applies to universal hoods only):
Due to the design of universal hoods you need to manually change the mode of
operation.
See Figure 8 for instructions on how to change the mode.
Note (only applies to telescopic and in-built kitchen hoods): Furniture
and telescopic cooker hoods operating in air recirculation mode require
installation of the exhaust duct. The other end of the duct should be directed
to the room as it will discharge filtered air.
Note: Hanging kitchen hoods operate only in air circulation / odour
absorber mode.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Maintenance Regular maintenance and cleaning of the appliance will ensure trouble-free operation of the cooker hood and extend its life. Especially make sure that the grease filter and activated charcoal filter are replaced according to manufacturer’s recommendations.
- Do not use a soaked cloth, sponge, or water jet.
- Do not use solvents or alcohol, as they may tarnish lacquered surfaces.
- Do not use caustic substances, especially for cleaning stainless steel.
- Do not use a rough or abrasive cloth.
- It is recommend to use a damp cloth and a neutral detergent.
Note: After several washes in the dishwasher, the colour of the aluminium
filter may change. The change of colour does not indicate improprieties or the
necessity to change it.
Grease filter
For normal hood operation, grease filter should be cleaned every month in the
dishwasher or by hand using a mild detergent or liquid soap.
Dismantling of grease filter is shown on Figure 5. Acrylic filter is used in
some models. This filter should be replaced at least once every 2 months or
more frequently if the appliance is used intensively.
Activated charcoal filter
Charcoal filter is used only when the cooker hood is not connected to the
ventilation duct. Activated charcoal filter can absorb odours until saturated.
Charcoal filter is not suitable for washing or regeneration and should be
replaced at least once every 3-4 months or more frequently if the appliance is
used intensively. Dismantling of charcoal filter is shown on Figure 6.
