for your safety

Please note
Please note
This appliance should be connected by a registered fitter. Damage arising from incorrect connection or incorrect fitting is not covered by the guarantee.
Disconnect the appliance before starting with cleaning or reparation. It is recommended that you do this by removing the plug from the socket or by setting the isolation switch to zero.
Never flambe under an extractor. The high flames can cause fire. Even if the ventilator is switched off.
When deep-frying, always keep a close watch.
If the appliance is used together with equipment which uses gas or other fuels, then a sufficient supply of fresh air must be ensured.
Switch the extractor hood on before starting to cook. After cooking, allow the extractor hood to continue to run for approx. 10 minutes. This can also be done automatically (see  ‘automatic continued running’).
Clean the appliance regularly, as shown in ‘maintenance’. This minimises the chance of a fire starting.
Switch off the electricity before replacing the light bulbs! Only use the same sort of light bulbs with the same Wattage.
In view of possible sharp edges on the chimney we advise you to wear working gloves when fitting the chimney.

lighting

switching on the appliance

The extractor hood automatically switches back from the setting chosen to 0. If the lighting was switched on during the automatic continued running, it will remain switched on.
cleaning the grease filter
If the grease filter symbol ( )lights up, you should clean the filter immediately.
Put the filter back in place after cleaning and erase the electronic memory by touching the symbol and keeping your finger on it until the indicator light goes out.

faults
Please check the following points which may solve the problem, before calling the service department.
If the connection cable is damaged, it should be replaced by the service department of the manufacturer or similarly qualified persons in order to prevent dangerous situations from  arising.
NB: Disconnect the appliance from the mains before starting any repairs, preferably by removing the plug from the socket or by setting the isolation switch to zero.

Lighting does not work.

maintenance

extractor hood
Clean the extractor hood as soon as the grease filter indicator light comes on.
The stainless steel on the outside of the hood can be cleaned with soapy water and a damp cloth. The stainless steel will regain its shine if you occasionally use a stainless steel care product or polish. The polish imparts a dirtresistant layer to the stainless steel. Always clean the stainless steel in the direction of polishing.
Never use abrasive cleaning agents (such as Vim, green scouring pads or other scourers) or polishing cleaning products (such as liquid scourers and Jif).
Never use caustic cleaning agents. These can cause stainless steel to discolour.

removing/replacing grease filters
Remove the filters as follows: switch the fan and the lighting off.
Push the filter at the edge of the niche to the back and pull the front end down. You can now remove the filter from the hood.
The filter can only be put back into place in one way. Take note of the correct position of the filter (see illustration).
Hold the filter in such a way that the covered part of the underside is at the centre rear. This is recognizable on the outside by the pattern with the smaller holes.
Put the filter back into place by first pushing the rear side into the holder. Then push the front upwards until it cannot go any further and let the filter slide forwards. The filter is now once again in place. Erase the electronic memory by pressing the button for approx. 5 seconds.
cleaning the grease filters
You can clean the grease filters in the dishwasher. Allow the filter to drain well – through the slits in the side – before putting it back.
replacing the carbon filter
Replace the carbon filter twice a year. This only applies to recirculation hoods.
Put the carbon filter in the place intended for it above the filters.

installation instructions

installation

some preliminary remarks
An extractor hood should be installed in accordance with national and local regulations. The minimum distance between the underside of the extractor hood and the hob should be 65 cm.
The appliance should be connected by a registered fitter.
Damage arising from incorrect connection or incorrect fitting is not covered by the guarantee.
NB: If an extractor hood and a heat source (for example, gas-, oil- or coal- fired cookers) which take air from the same room are in use at the same time, there is a possibility that the extractor hood will cause an underpressure in that room. The maximum permitted underpressure is 4 Pa, so that no combustion gases from the heat source can find their way back into the room. For this reason, an air supply is required – to provide a constant supply of fresh air to the room.
electrical connection
The extractor hood’s plug should be accessible after fitting or the extractor hood should be isolated by a bipolar switch with 3 mm plug pins.
When making the electrical connections, make sure that the socket is earthed and that the voltage and frequency correspond to the values given on the data plate.
If the connection cable is damaged, it should be replaced by the service department of the manufacturer or similarly qualified persons in order to prevent dangerous situations from arising.

discharge
The discharge should not be connected to a duct which is also used for other purposes under any circumstances.
Bear in mind any local regulations concerning the ventilation of gas appliances.
The discharge may pass straight through the wall to the outside, provided that the wall opening is protected – by means of a grating – against rain, leaves, and the like getting in.
The passage of the discharge may not be restricted by the wall grating by more than 20%.
We advise the use of as large a discharge duct as possible.
A duct with a smaller diameter will have a low extraction capacity and produce higher noise levels.
Bends produce resistance. Make sure that the duct has a smooth run and has as few bends as possible. Draw the flexible pipe out as far as possible.
Before starting to drill, check that there are no installed pipes present.
The discharge stump has a diameter of 150 mm. It is best if the discharge pipe also has this diameter.
A reducing piece (150 mm to 125 mm) is supplied with the appliance for connection to a 125 mm discharge pipe.
ATAG supplies accessories for discharge ducts for extractor hoods. You will find an overview of the range with the appropriate type numbers in the price list.
