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 flue gas 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 appliance 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.

OPERATION
Cooker hood controls
Control Panel is shown in Figure 4, for reference it is also shown below:
This appliance features gesture control:
-
Light on/off gesture control sensor
-
Fan speed gesture control sensors
The control panel is equipped with touch controls: Control functions are described below: -
Off-Timer sensor
-
Low speed- Use this speed when cooking a little food with hardly any fumes.
-
Medium speed- Use this speed when cooking multiple dishes at the same time with moderate amount of fumes.
-
High speed- Use this speed when frying or grilling, with large amount of fumes.
-
Gesture control on/off
-
Light control sensor
When you plug in the appliance to power, it will emit a short beep and all sensors will light for a brief moment.
Touch sensor 1, 2 or 3 to start the fan. Touch the sensor corresponding to current fan speed to turn off the fan.
Touch to turn the lighting on. Touch again to turn the lighting off.
The lighting operates independently of fan.
Off-Timer
Use Off-Timer to turn off the hood after a specified time. Use Off-Timer to
filter the fumes out of the air after cooking. The fan will turn off after 15
minutes. Touch to activate the Off-Timer at any time. Sensor flashes. Touch to
deactivate The Off-Timer at any time and will stop flashing. This function
does not turn off lighting.
Gesture control
Touch to turn gesture control on/off.
You can use gestures to control the fan speed and lighting. When gesture
control is active, you can also control the appliance using the touch sensors.
Gesture control works correctly when you move your open hand about 3 to 10 cm
from the surface of the control panel.
Note: When controlling the fan speed, the hand motion must cover both
motion sensors (Figure 4, item 2, or the hand must be stationary within the
light control sensor (Figure 4, item 1). If activating a certain function
(such as fan speed 3) requires multiple hand gestures, reposition your hand
for another gesture away from the control panel to avoid triggering the motion
sensors). Hand movements must not be too fast. Preferably, a single gesture
should take about 1 second.
To turn on the fan or increase fan speed, move your hand from left to right
several times. With hand movement, current fan speed sensor will light up.
To turn off the fan or reduce fan speed, move your hand from right to left
several times until sensor 1 lights up. Move your hand one more time and the
fan will turn off (gesture control will still be active)
To turn the lighting on or off, position your hand near the centre of the
control panel (under the sensor labelled 1) for about 2 seconds. The symbol
will light up.
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.
