  • This appliance must only be used by adults. Beware of children; cooker hood and its components must not be within reach of children.
  • The hood is not suitable for people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities unless they are specifically instructed by the person responsible for their safety.
  • Do not “flambé” products, which could cause flames beneath the hood.
  • Do not ignite gas burners giving off intense, uncontrolled flames beneath the hood.
  • Make sure that no flames emerge from the sides of pans.
  • When frying foods, do not allow the oil to escape from the pan or reheat it, as it could catch fire.
  • Before performing any cleaning or maintenance operation, disconnect the hood from the power supply using the respective mains or sector switch, a double-pole switch or by unplugging it.
  • If using other appliances that require gas or appliances that consume oxygen from the atmosphere, ensure there is sufficient ventilation. For safe ventilation, the maximum vacuum in the premises must not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar) and a pipe leading outside the premises must be made in the wall (with the correct diameter and location).
  • Do not use the cooker hood without the provided fat-filters.
  • Keep the fat-filters clean and respect the frequency of recommended cleaning.
  • If you have a recirculation system in your hood, replace the charcoal filters every 50hours of use.
  • Turn on the hood before starting to cook.
  • Turn off the hood about 10 minutes after you finish cooking.
  • It is forbidden to use the hood as an aspirator.
  • Never leave the flame of gas burning under the hood without placing cooking utensils on the burners.

ELECTRICAL INSTALATION

  • This appliance must be connected to an electricity supply with a ground connection.
  • Check that the installation and electrical connections are handled by qualified technicians and that the indicated instructions and local regulations in force are respected, using materials that are compliant with the applicable legislation.
  • The company will not be responsible for installations executed by non-qualified staff and installations that fail to respect the applicable legislation on electrical safety (with regards to both methods and materials).
  • The electrical technical data can be found inside the hood, after removing the grease filters.
  • The flexible power cable supplied is already connected internally and emerges from the hood near the air outlettube.

Before installing the electrical connections, you should:

  • Verify that the indicated electrical data coincide with the voltage values and frequency of the electrical circuit in the house where the hood is to be installed;
  • Check that the premises have electrical protection against short circuits and electrocution, pursuant to the applicable legislation;
  • Before connecting the hood, always switch off the power supply using the double-pole switch and turn the power on again for normal use only when the connecting operation has been completed.

GENERAL INFORMATIONS

Cooker hood Typology: Classification

Filtering Version/ Recirculation hood: It does not have external exhaust pipe. The use of charcoal or plasma filters removes the grease and smells from the extracted air before sending the purified air back into the room.

Ducting Version: Extracted fumes are conveyed outside of the house by means of the exhaust piping connected to the hood.

Tips for the user:

  1. To obtain a better performance, it is advisable to connect the hood a few minutes before starting to cook and let it run after it has been completed, for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Always keep an eye on the frying pan or fryer, the oil may overheat and catch fire.
  3. Never flambé under the hood. Free flames may cause a fire.
  4. Before carrying out any operation inside the hood, disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
  5. Respect cleaning and filter replacement times. Ignoring this aspect can cause a fire or deteriorate the product due to the deposited grease.
  6. Any modification on the steel structure voids the warranty.

Condensation in Cooker Hoods

Condensation is the change of the physical state of matter (vapor) from gas phase into liquid phase. This happens by abrupt change of temperature, when the steam makes contact with a cold surface. Condensation is, unfortunately, a physical phenomenon that does not depend at all on the suction capacity of the hood but rather on the difference in temperature between the hot cooking fumes and the cold surfaces of the hood. No matter how powerful the hood is, it can not expel all the condensation. A hood is prepared to drive fumes out, but it does not have the capacity to flush water to the outside.

If you have a condensation problem on your hood, such as a leakage on the bottom of the hood, it may be due to several individual or connected reasons.

  • The ambient temperature is cooler or lower than the cooking steam temperature. Unavoidable physical phenomena producing heat shock upon contact with the cold surface of the hood.
  • The use of the cooking hob at maximum power without preheating the environment & hood surface. This effect is especially aggravated by induction plates which heat up very quickly and do not generate residual heat.
  • Improper use or maintenance of the hood such as cleaning fat-filters or replacing carbon filters.
  • An installation of unfavorable smoke exhaust piping, with diameters smaller than those required by the motor, excessive duct length, reductions, elbows, etc.
  • Certain hood designs such as inclined wall hoods and integrated hoods in the cabinet generate more condensation when installed closer to the cooking zone.

Tips to prevent condensation on the hood:

  • Switch on the hood 10 minutes before and after cooking; activate the delayed stop function to evacuate the smoke stored in the duct, favouring total evacuation.
  • Do not cook at a maximum power from the beginning. Start with a low or medium power, so that the hood gets tempered.
  • Keep the filters clean, cleaning them at least once every 10 days. In case of deterioration, replace them with new ones.
  • Have a continuous airflow in the room such as a ventilation grid, half-open window, so that we avoid any pressure vacuum diminishing the extraction flow.
  • Dry out the steam that is generated while cooking, as well as after cooking.
  • Follow the instructions provided for the hob on the effects of condensation. Use adequate power to control steam.
  • Adjust hood speed to the amount of fume and steam that is being generated. Speed 1: When heating water. Speed 2 and 3 for normal, non-intensive cooking. Speed 4 (Booster) For aggressive cooking such as grilling or frying. Do not use the Booster for steam cooking under any circumstances.

The correct use of speed in the extraction hood will reduce condensation problems considerably. Note that the steam generated with the cooking will be collected together with the fumes produced. Water is a heavy liquid that is not easy to drive through the hood motor. Therefore, we recommend using a suction speed that allows the extraction of fumes plus a reasonable part of the steam. Additional methods may be applied to eliminate the remaining steam not collected by the hood such as leaving as much ventilation as possible in the kitchen; ideally by opening a window, as we do when condensation happens in the bathroom after a hot shower.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER

Choose the appropriate dimensions for the hood: (Fig. 1)

Instructions For The Installer

At what height should we place the cooker hood? Recommendations: (Fig. 2)

Instructions For The Installer

According to regulations: European 60335-2-31, International IEC 60335-2-31: 2012 and Spanish UNE-EN 60335-2-31- The minimum distance between the cooking surface on the worktop and the bottom of the extraction hood must be at least of 650 mm, if the hood is installed on a gas cooking element.

Installation of piping for proper extraction: (Fig. 3)

Instructions For The Installer

  1. Avoid making a reduction of diameter in the outlet pipe of the hood or near elbows. Any potential reduction shall only be made in straight sections of piping and away from the hood.
  2. Avoid abrupt tube reductions.
  3. Avoid placing elbows and bends. If needed, make sure elbows/bends have the least possible degrees.
  4. Ensure that the exhaust outlet is as direct as possible avoiding a bad air circulation.
  5. The diameter of the exhaust pipe must not be smaller than that of the hood motor itself.
  6. The hood shall be located at an optimum distance from the cooking surface of not less than 65 cm. in case of gas burners or mixed cookers.
  7. If the installation manual for the cooking device with gas specify a greater distance, it must be taken into consideration.
  8. The maximum pressure vacuum for this type of environment allowed by the ‘combustion decree’ should not exceed 0.04 mbar. So do check that there is adequate ventilation.
  9. The air extracted by the hood cannot be directed to the heater chimney or any other exhaust pipe used by devices powered by non-electric energy.
  10. Like the size, the height of the hood is very important to reach its maximum performance.

Installation of Airsoft ducting:

Silence range models have Airsoft silencer ducting included.
These ducts must be installed on the first section of piping right after the motor outlet.
For models with Ø150mm outlet, connect the Airsoft 1-duct to the circular motor outlet (completely stretched) and seal it with tape on both ends.
For models with flat duct outlet, before installing the hood, connect the rigid part of Airsoft 2-duct to the exhaust pipe and its flexible duct section to the flat motor outlet.

The technician is responsible for the piping installation and any leakage or airloss produced along the exhaust pipe, due to poor assembly of its accessories and connections will be their responsibility. The technician shall check thoroughly all connection points to ensure their tightness.

Ventilation – creating primary air inlets: (Fig. 4)

Instructions For The Installer

Guarantee a good air circulation in the kitchen through air inlets is a standard requirement to ensure the correct functioning of the hood. A hood operating in a closed environment (kitchen) may create a pressure vacuum that reduces the extraction efficiency of the hood. Air inlets for gas installations can serve our purpose. In the absence of the latter, an air inlet needs to be created.

  2. Once the lights are ON, press the buttons (B,C). Then the lights will flash 3 times to indicate that the process is completed.

Synchronization of the remote control with the hood

  1. Switch off the hood completely, ensuring that the internal switch of the hood is OFF.
  2. We can restart the hood by switching ON the internal (safety) switch of the hood.
  3. Within 10 seconds, press and hold the light on button (E) until the hood lights come on.

In case of remote control fails, or battery runs out, disconnect the hood manually through the safety button placed inside the hood and accessible from one of the filters.

In case of power failure, and having to reset the control unit, carry out the steps in point 5.7.3

ATTENTION – One of the reasons why the remote control may not work is because there could be a frequency inhibitor nearby. These are usually found in institutions, public or security forces buildings among others.

LIGHTING

Replacing lamps

The hood is equipped with a lighting system based on LED technology. The LEDs guarantee an optimum lighting, a duration up to 10 times longer than traditional lamps and allow to save 90% of electrical energy.

For replacement, contact the technical service. Under no circumstances should the user manipulate them so they are replaced.

LED colour temperature regulation (available on most hoods)

Temperature range is 3000-4000k. In some hood models it may be higher.

GREASE FILTERS

Before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning operation, the hood must be disconnected from the power supply.

The function of the grease filter is the absorption of the fat particles that are formed during cooking. It must be cleaned once a month (or when the Clogged Filters indicator lights up- if available on the model purchased-) with non-aggressive detergents, either manually or in dishwashers.

To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle ( Fig. 11 )

Grease Filters
Charcoal / Carbon Filters / Plasma
Charcoal / Carbon Filters / Plasma

  • To remove the filter, you just need to act on the handle A until it exits through the front guide; tilt slightly and remove. To place it back, reverse the operation.
  • In the ceiling hoods open the hood door to access the filters

The filters can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher.

Hand wash:

Submerge the filter in hot water with a suitable detergent and once clean, rinse it with plenty of hot water.

Dishwasher:

Put the filters in the dishwasher and select a short program at low temperature (max 40º) without using polishing cleaner. When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolour slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity. Most hoods are equipped with a Filter-Control systems advising when they must be cleaned or replaced (grease or coal).

ATTENTION! If the grease filters are very dirty, the motor efficiency will be poor and air extraction diminished. Clogged grease filters are highly flammable and COULD CAUSE FIRE. The manufacturer is fully free of any liability in the case of fires caused by poor maintenance of grease filters.

CHARCOAL / CARBON FILTERS / PLASMA

Before performing this procedure, make sure that the hood is switched off and that the motor is not running. For further safety, disconnect the hood from the power supply. Some hoods have a switch power button inside, apart from their remote control.

If the hood has carbon filters, remember that these need to be replaced every 50 hours of use. To order, you can contact the Technical Service.

Carbon filters installed on the hood (only indicated models).

  1. Remove the filters, and the BA Sytem plate (if your model is provided with it). Removing the 6-8 screw (depending on the size of the hood). (Fig. 14)
