OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Before first use
Prior to the start of use of a new unit, wipe it with a wet and then a dry cloth.
Airing mode
In this mode the vapors are ventilated through the output pipe into the shaft and out of the room. If there are carbon filters installed in the unit, remove them (see the Cleaning and Maintenance paragraph).

Select the required fan power level by pressing the „+“ and „-“ symbols (1 – 4).
After use, switch the unit off by setting the fan power level to „0“. Note: This appliance is equipped with boost function. When the device is set to the highest (intensive) speed
speed after 5 minutes of operation
it will automatically decrease to

Re-circulation mode

If you have no possibility to ventilate the air out of the room, the re- circulation mode can be selected. In this mode the vapors are filtered through metal and carbon filters. Active carbon in these filters absorbs smells, and the clean air flows back to the room through holes in the upper chimney cover. For this mode, it is necessary to buy and assemble the corresponding carbon filters (see the Cleaning and Maintenance paragraph).

Select the required fan power level by pressing the „+“ and „-“ symbols (1 – 4).
After use, switch the unit off by setting the fan power level to „0“. Note: This appliance is equipped with boost function. When the device is set to the highest (intensive) speed
speed after 5 minutes of operation
it will automatically decrease to

Switching the lighting on and off

Press the button to turn on the light. Switch the light off by repeatedly pressing the symbol. The lighting direction can be adjusted by tilting the lights.

Set the required delayed off time by repeatedly pressing the,-“and,+” symbols in the range of 10-90 minutes. Tens of minutes will be displayed, i.e. 1 = 10 minutes, 2 = 20 minutes etc. Confirm by pressing the symbol (the fan power level will be displayed, and the dot symbol will blink). Note: If you don’t confirm the delayed off settings within 20 seconds, the settings will be erased, and the delayed off function will be deactivated.
The unit will switch off automatically after the preset time runs out. Note: If you press the symbol during the countdown, or switch off the fan manually before the time runs out, the delayed off function will be deactivated.

This function enables the automatic

The unit is equipped with an odor sensor that detects an increased volume of odors in the air. This function enables the automatic regulation of fan power depending on the volume of odors in the air. After connecting to electric power, the fan shall not be switched on for about 5 minutes, so that the sensor can be calibrated.The function is activated by pressing the „–“ symbol for a longer time. „A“ will be displayed. To deactivate the function, press the „–“ symbol for a longer time.
