SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Assembling and electrical connection of the appliance must be carried out by skilled technicians of authorized service center.

2. The appliance is designed to operate on 220-240 V AC. Make sure that the technical parameters of your home power supply system correspond to the data for the power supply. If parameter values are above or below the specified range, the use of the appliance is prohibited.

3. Do not connect the kitchen air cleaner to the ventilation channels that are used to remove smoke and fumes from the equipment operating on any other energy sources  except electric one.

4. The appliance is to be connected only to an earthed power supply system.

5. Do not cook flammable foods below the kitchen air cleaner.

6. Use aluminum filter that comes with the appliance. The use of other materials is prohibited!

7. Do not connect the appliance to the power supply system, until the assembly and installation of the appliance is completed.

8. Do not use the appliance without the aluminum filter in place.

9. Do not touch the lamps.

10. Do not remove the aluminum filter while the appliance is in operation.

11. Do not disconnect the appliance from the power supply system directly. If necessary, turn the appliance off using the control panel and, only after that, unplug it from  the power supply system. When switching on: first connect the appliance to the power supply system, then switch it on using the control panel, but not vice versa!

12. The appliance requires regular cleaning and maintenance work.

13. When installing the appliance, observe the required distance between it and the cooking surface of your stove:
    – for an electric stove: at least 65 cm
    – for a gas or gas-electric stove: at least 70 cm

14. Do not allow children to play with packaging materials, it can be dangerous!

15. The appliance is allowed to be turned on only once the pots and/or pans are placed on the stove.

16. For best air cleaning in your kitchen, do not turn off the appliance immediately after the cooking process is completed: let the appliance run for a further 15 minutes. For this purpose you can also use the timer function (the button «Auto Switch Off Timer» on the control panel).

17. Ensure adequate ventilation in the kitchen, if a gas stove is operated simultaneously with the appliance.

18. In case of any malfunctions, contact your nearest authorized service center.

19. If the kitchen hood is supposed to operate in air discharge mode, then during installation it is important to provide a duct of the corresponding diameter. To prevent loss of performance caused by aerodynamic resistance of the duct, the air duct must not be too long, or curved.
    Never restrict the duct size, or make sharp bends. In addition, it is preferable to use smooth PVC duct (round or flat), rather than the flexible corrugated one because  bends of a corrugated duct increase the noise level of the hood.

20. The manufacturer does not bear any responsibility for any possible damage, in case of non-compliance with above precautions.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Caution! Before you start cleaning the appliance, disconnect it from the power supply.
Aluminum filter
Aluminum filter is designed to trap grease particles out of the flow of air running through it.
For this reason, the filter needs regular cleaning. The cleaning interval depends on the frequency of use of the air cleaner. Generally, it is recommended to clean it once a  month.
To do this, remove the filters, wash them in water with a neutral liquid detergent, dry them, then set them back in the air cleaner. Over time, filters may change color due to a  regular washing. This is a natural process, which does not indicate a defect, so filter replacement is not required. The aluminum filters can be washed in the dishwasher.

How to remove aluminum filters:

1. Press on the latch of the filter lock.
2. Pulling down a bit, remove the filter.
   In order to put the filters in place after cleaning, follow the above instructions in reverse order.

Carbon filter (used in recirculated air mode)
Carbon filter is designed to trap odors and fumes while cooking. It is used in cases where there is no possibility to connect the air cleaner to a special ventilation duct for  discharging air outward. When operating the appliance with a carbon filter, contaminated air is sucked into the appliance and passes through a carbon filter, and then clean air  is supplied to the kitchen.
The carbon filter should be replaced at regular intervals. The interval of filter replacement depends on the frequency of use of the air cleaner, style of cooking and frequency  of the aluminum filter cleaning. Generally, it is recommended to replace the carbon filter once every 4 months.

How to remove carbon filter:

1. Remove aluminum filters.
2. Turn the carbon filter to the left and pull it.
3. Replace the old carbon filter with the new one.
4. Put the filter back into place.

If necessary, clean the outside of the air cleaner with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents. For painted stainless steel surfaces: to avoid scratching it is recommended to wipe them with a soft, damp cloth in the painting direction. Do not remove the lamp cover during the surface cleaning process.

Replacing lamps
Before replacing lamps, remove the hood’s power cable. Lift the front glass up and remove the aluminum cartridge filter.

Then:
Disconnect the socket and lamp connector by pulling back on the plastic tab as shown in the figure on the left to open the locking device.
Hold the lamp by the body and turn the 2 fixing tabs on the lamp clockwise or counterclockwise to fit into the gaps on the lighting panel. After the fixing tabs line up with  the gaps, hold the lamp by the body and remove it.

Caution! Do not use the steam generators for cleaning.
Caution! Not following the above rules for cleaning the appliance and replacing filters may cause fire.
Caution! If you need to transport the air cleaner, first of all, disconnect it from the power supply and proceed with disassembly. It is recommended that you transport it in the  original packaging. If this packaging is not available, package the appliance using materials that prevent possible damage resulting from transportation.

HELPFUL INFORMATION

Physical characteristics of the sound volume (the sound pressure level) is measured in decibels (dB). «Noise» is a chaotic mix of sound.
The human ear can detect sounds with sound volume of 10-15 dB and above.
When choosing a kitchen hood, it is necessary to pay special attention to technical indicators such as the noise level. This indicator is very important, because, and that’s  beyond a shadow of a doubt, each of us spends a lot of time on the kitchen. It is especially common for women who love to please their loved ones with delicious cooked  dishes.
According to the surveys, 40% of women do not use kitchen hoods for their intended purpose (it refers to the process of air suction), precisely because they are annoyed with the noise level.
Consequently, such a necessary and needed in the kitchen appliance, kitchen air cleaner, designed to remove airborne odors, grease, soot and smoke, becomes almost  meaningless.
For more complete understanding of the scale of decibels, you can compare parameters of the following guidelines:

Intensity of typical noise sources

Approximate sound pressure level dB| Characteristics| Sound source and distance
160| Shock, trauma| Shot of a gun of 0.303 caliber close to your ear
150| Contusion, trauma| Rise of the lunar rocket, 100 m
140| Contusion| Rise of the jet plane, 25 m
120| Almost unbearable| Engine room of submarine Jackhammer, 1 m
