HOW TO USE

• Unpack and remove all packaging materials from the AirHood and accessories.
• Check for damage. If any parts are damaged or missing, do not use the AirHood and return it to your retail outlet immediately.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Your AirHood sucks in contaminated air and filters it. The front filter extracts heavier impurities in the air such as fat, dust and water vapour, and the rear filter removes smoke, dirt and further toxic contaminants. The purified air is then passed through the air diffuser on the back.
1. Connect to the power source.
Insert the plug into the mains socket.
2. To attach the Base Boost (if purchased) to the AirHood, align the 4 nodules on the Base Boost with the grooves on the bottom of the AirHood, and then twist the base anticlockwise until it locks into place.

3. Slide the power switch to the desired setting:

SETTING| MEANING|
---|---|---
I| Low| Quiet operation
II| Medium| Optimal effectiveness, noise-compromise
III| High| Maximum power
O| Off|

4. When you are not using the AirHood, make sure the power switch is in the off position O and make sure it is disconnected from the power supply.
5. Stow your AirHood on a countertop or hang it up and create more space.

CLEANING AND CARE

Note

• Do not use solvents, chemical or abrasive cleaning agents, wire brushes, sharp objects or scouring pads to clean the AirHood.
• Never immerse the AirHood main body, charger/power cord in water.

The AirHood is designed to make cleaning quick and easy. To keep your AirHood in tip top condition, we recommend that you clean the main unit and the front filter after each use and change the rear filter after every 100 hours of use.

1. Make sure the power switch is in the off position O and that the AirHood is disconnected from the power supply.
2. The air duct is fixed into place with magnets. Simply pull the tab on the top of the air duct to release and remove it. Similarly, pull the tab on the air diffuser on the back of the AirHood and remove it.
3. The front filter is attached to the back of the air duct. It comprises 2 parts, the stainless steel mesh and the frame that holds the mesh in place. Turn the front filter frame anticlockwise to remove it from the air duct. Then, pop out the wire mesh.

TIP: When reassembling the front filter, make sure you put the mesh into the front filter frame, align the frame with the groves on the air duct and then twist the front filter frame clockwise until the two parts slot firmly together.

If the rear filter becomes a bit wet (this may happen when it is used for filtering water vapor), remove the rear filter and let it dry naturally away from the AirHood. We recommend that you also check the front filter for moisture and if necessary dry it with a towel. Only reassemble when both filters are completely dry.

4. If it is time to change the rear filter, lift out the old one and replace after cleaning the main body.
TIP: When you handle the rear filter, you may see some carbon / charcoal residues (little black specks), this is normal and does not mean that the rear filter is degrading.
When inserting a new filter. Make sure the filter is tucked behind the two clips that hold it in place.
5. Clean the main body with a damp soft cloth.
6. Clean the air duct, front filter and air diffuser using a mild detergent and soft cloth. Only the front filter is dishwasher safe. Do not put any other parts in a dishwasher.
7. Dry all parts thoroughly and reassemble the AirHood.

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

• If you are not using the AirHood for a long period, always clean and store it in its original packaging in a dust-free, dry environment.
• Coil the power cord and plug and insert into the cord storage area.
