SAFETY INSTRUCTION

• 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.
• The 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 an 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 builtin 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.

OPERATION

The kitchen hood controls

Control Panel is shown in Figure 4, for reference it is also shown below: Turbo The control panel is equipped with buttons (rocker switch). You can use the buttons once the retractable front panel is ejected. Telescopic kitchen hood is equipped with a limit switch. Every time, when you eject the retractable front panel, the hood fan will start at the previously set speed. Available speeds (when retractable front panel ejected):

• 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 a moderate amount of fumes.
• High speed. Use this speed when frying or grilling, with a large amount of fumes.
• O- The hood off (ejecting the retractable front panel will not start the fan).

Press to turn the lighting on/off. The lighting operates independently of the hood fan. According to the model limit switch also turns off the lights when you retract the front panel.

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 an 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 the cooker hood operates in extraction mode, air is discharged outside through an extraction duct. Remove the 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: The 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.

• Do not use a soaked cloth, sponge, or water jet.
• Do not use solvents or alcohol, as they may tarnish lacquered surfaces.
• Do not use caustic substances, especially for cleaning stainless steel.
• Do not use a rough or abrasive cloth.
• It is recommended to use a damp cloth and a neutral detergent.

Note: After several washes in the dishwasher, the colour of the aluminium filter may change. The change of colour does not indicate improprieties or the necessity to change it.

Grease filter

For normal hood operation, the grease filter should be cleaned every month in the dishwasher or by hand using a mild detergent or liquid soap. The dismantling of grease filter is shown on Figure 5. The acrylic filter is used in some models. This filter should be replaced at least once every 2 months or more frequently if the appliance is used intensively.

Activated charcoal filter

A charcoal filter is used only when the cooker hood is not connected to the ventilation duct. The activated charcoal filter can absorb odours until saturated. The charcoal filter is not suitable for washing or regeneration and should be replaced at least once every 3-4 months or more frequently if the appliance is used intensively. Dismantling of the charcoal filter is shown on Figure 6.

Light

Use incandescent / halogen / LED modules of the same specification as those factory-installed in the appliance. See Figure 7 for details how to replace lights. If there is no such figure in this manual, please contact the authorised service to replace the lighting module.
