Unless the appliance is in operation, ensure that all its controls are switched off.
Do not manipulate with an open flame (e.g. singeing) under the appliance. If you remove a cooking vessel from a gas burner, reduce its flame to minimum or turn it off!
Caution! Risk of fire! Care must be taken to ensure that the diameter of the gas burners on the gas cooker or the cooking plate corresponds to that of cooking utensils used. If cooking vessels with a diameter lower than recommended are used, the flame could start to burn around the cooking vessel resulting in a risk of melting plastic handles.
While deep frying or frying of food, observe this food all the time. In the case of oil overheating, there is a risk of fire!
Ensure that the flames do not get too close to the appliance.
Observe intervals for replacement and cleaning of filters (at least every 2-3 months). Failure to observe these requirements results in a risk of fire due to fat accumulating in the filters!
All the respective current standards and official regulations must be observed relating to the removal of the extracted air.
A ventilation duct diameter for the removal of the extracted air should be approximately the same or larger than that of the hood’s flexible outlet duct.
Extracted air should not be led to a chimney intended for discharge of flue gases and combustion products or a shaft serving for ventilation of rooms where fireplaces are situated.
When the appliance and fireplaces are in operation simultaneously, vacuum in the room should not be higher than 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).
Do not use any accessories other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not use accessories with damaged surface treatment or if it has been worn out or has other defects.

USER MANUAL

Before first use
Before first use you should wipe the outside and inside of the appliance with a damp cloth for hygiene reasons.

Ventilation mode
The extracted air is discharged through the flexible outlet duct to the ventilation shaft out of the room. If the appliance is equipped with a carbon filter, remove it (see chapter Cleaning and Maintenance).

Press the button (1), (2) or (3) to switch the appliance to the desired power level.
Press the button (5) to switch the appliance lighting on/off.
Press the button (1) to turn the appliance off.

Recirculation mode
If it isn´t possible to extract exhaust air from the room, recirculation mode can be used. In this case, the exhaust air is filtered through a metal grease filter and a carbon filter. The activated carbon in this filter helps reduce unpleasant odors. The air then enters the room through openings in the top cover of the chimney. For hoods built into the cabinet, it is important that the filtered air is directed back into the room, otherwise the hood will not work properly. When using the recirculation mode, a suitable carbon filter must be purchased and installed (see chapter Cleaning and maintenance).

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet or switch off the circuit breaker of the appliance before cleaning and maintenance.
To clean the appliance outside, use a damp cloth, a soft brush or a fine sponge, and then wipe it dry.
Do not use coarse abrasive cleaning agents or sharp metal scrapers for cleaning of the appliance as this could result in surface scoring.
Do not use steam jets to clean the appliance!
Never leave aggressive or acidic substances (lemon juice, vinegar) on enamelled or stainless parts of the appliance.

Cleaning and replacement of filters Metal fat filters
When the appliance is in common use, the metal fat filters should be checked or cleaned every month. In case of more frequent frying or deep frying, shorten this interval. Do not use the appliance without the metal fat filters properly installed!

Remove the metal filters as shown in Fig. 1.
We recommend to soak the metal filters in warm water with a detergent, then to clean with a soft brush, rinse with clean water and allow to dry. The filters are also dishwasher safe using a program below 60 °C. In this case, it is necessary to avoid the use
of aggressive detergents –the aluminum filters can blacken under the influence of the chemical reaction.
Reinstall dried out filters.

Carbon filter (to be purchased)

This filter is only used for the recirculation mode.

The filter contains an active carbon absorbing the smell being discharged. The active carbon will be saturated after some time, hence the absorption capacity will be shortened. This filter cannot be washed or cleaned in any other way.

When the appliance is in common use, the carbon filter should be replaced every 2-3 months. In case of more frequent frying or deep frying, shorten this interval.

Remove the metal filters as shown in Fig. 1.
The carbon filters are situated on both sides of the motor. Turn the filters, until they are secured (see Fig. 2).
To replace the carbon filter, proceed in reverse order.

Any bend of the ventilation pipe should be ≥120°.
The room must be well ventilated during cooking.

Connection to the mains

Make sure the mains voltage and current protection correspond to the values on the rating plate of the appliance.
Only use grounded sockets.
Do not use multiple sockets, plugs and extension cords.
The plug of the power cord on the appliance must be freely accessible even after the installation.
Changes in a connection may only be performed by a qualified professional.

APPLIANCE DIMENSIONS

When installing the appliance, follow these steps:

Remove all the packaging and marketing materials before first use.
Mark the required installation height (500 mm for electric and 650 mm for gas cooking plates) on the wall behind the cooker or the cooking plate (Fig. 3).
Drill holes and attach the hood according to Fig. 4.
After the hood has been hung, install the flexible outlet duct to the outlet opening (Fig. 5). Use a reducer fitting 150/120 mm in diameter, if required. Insert the second part of the flexible duct in the opening prepared in the wall.
Plug the power cord into the wall outlet.

Disassembling

If you disassemble the appliance, it is important to follow the steps in the correct order:
