Remove all the covering and marketing materials from the unit before the first use.
Dispose of the packaging material properly.

Installation

The unit is designed to be built into the upper cupboard of a kitchen set.
Follow the instructions for the appliance connection and installation.
The unit has to be disconnected from the power socket during installation.
Before connecting the appliance, ensure that your local connection is earthed and compliant with all applicable regulations.
Make sure the mains voltage and current protection correspond to the values on the rating plate. Use earthed wall outlets only.
After installation of the unit, the plug or circuit breaker shall be freely accessible.
Only an authorized technician may install and connect your appliance.
Improper connection and/or incompetent installation may result in injury or death.
The manufacturer takes no responsibility for any damage incurred due to improper installation or use.

Normal operation

Use the unit only as described in this operating manual.
Use the unit only in a household, solely for the purpose of absorbing vapor created during cooking, or recirculation and absorption of odors created during cooking.
Install the unit at least 650 mm above the electric stove (or hotplate), and 750 mm at minimum above the gas stove (or gas hotplate).
Never operate the appliance with wet hands.
In case of any failure, and before maintenance and cleaning, turn off the product and disconnect the plug from the mains outlet, or switch off the circuit breaker.
Never pull the cord to disconnect the plug from the wall outlet; hold the plug instead.
Check the appliance and power cord for damage regularly. Never switch on a damaged appliance.
Do not immerse the power cord, plug, or appliance in water or any other liquid.
Make sure that all controls are in the OFF position when the appliance is not in use.
Do not handle open flame under the unit (e.g. flaming)! If you remove a cooking vessel from a gas stove, turn down the flame to the minimum, or turn it off!
Make sure the diameter of the burner of the gas stove or gas hotplate corresponds to the cookware used. When using smaller than recommended vessels, the flames could touch the sides, and plastic handles could be scorched – the risk of fire and damage to the unit!
When you deep-fry or fry food, keep it under continuous supervision. When oil is overheated, there is a risk of fire!
Keep the intervals for replacement and cleaning of the filters (every 2 months at minimum). If these instructions are not followed, there is a risk of fire due to fat sediments in the filters!
For the ventilation ducts all the applicable standards and regulations shall be observed.
The diameter of the duct pipeline for the airing mode should be approximately the same as the diameter of the output pipe of the absorber (120 mm).
The air shall not be ventilated through a chimney used for combustion gases, or in a shaft used for airing rooms where combustion chambers are installed.
During operation in airing mode a sufficient opening for inlet air shall be made; its size shall be approximately the same as or bigger than that of the hole for ventilated air.
During simultaneous operation of the unit in airing mode and the stove, the underpressure in the room shall not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).
Use manufacturer-recommended accessories only.

Children in the household

The appliance is not intended for and should not be accessible to children or persons with reduced capabilities.
The appliance is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of knowledge, unless under the supervision of an acquainted person responsible for their safety.

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).

Extend the front of the unit to enlarge the suction surface.
Select the required fan power (I or II) using the selector (1).
After use, switch the unit off by setting the fan power level (1) to „0“.

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. For this mode, it is necessary to buy and assemble the corresponding carbon filters (see the Cleaning and Maintenance paragraph).

Extend the front of the unit to enlarge the suction surface.
Select the required fan power (I or II) using the selector (1).
After use, switch the unit off by setting the fan power level (1) to „0“.

Switching the lighting on and off

Press the switch (2) to turn the light on or off.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before any maintenance and cleaning, disconnect the power cord from the mains or switch off the circuit breaker of the main outlet of the unit.
Do not immerse the power cord, plug, or appliance in water or any other liquid.
Set all controls in the OFF position.
Clean the outer surface of the unit with a wet cloth, or use a neutral detergent.
Do not use coarse sponges, abrasive cleaners, solvents or aggressive detergents.
Do not use an autoclave to clean the unit!

CLEANING AND REPLACING THE FILTERS

Metal fat filters

Under normal use the metal fat filters should be cleaned every 2 months. In case of
more frequent frying or deep frying, shorten the interval.
Do not use the unit without properly mounted metal fat filters!

Remove the metal filters (Fig. 1). If carbon filters are mounted, remove them.
Put the metal filters in warm water with a detergent. Clean them with a soft brush, rinse with clean water and let dry.
Remount the completely dry filters following the reverse steps.

Carbon filters (must be purchased)

These filters are used only in the re-circulation mode. The filters contain active carbon that absorbs the ventilated odors. After a while, the active carbon is saturated and loses its absorption ability. These filters can‘t be washed or otherwise cleaned. Under normal use, the carbon filters should be replaced every 2 months. In case of more frequent frying or deep frying, shorten the interval.

Remove the metal filters (Fig. 1), and remove the carbon filters from them.
Mount new carbon filters on the metal ones (Fig. 2), and put the setback.

UNIT INSTALLATION

Only authorized personnel can install the power connection!
Only the customer is responsible for installation in situ. Defects caused by the incorrect installation are not covered by the warranty.
Remove all the covering and marketing materials from the unit before the first use.
We recommend that you let a specialized company perform the installation.
The manufacturer bears no responsibility for damage caused to people, animals or objects as a result of incorrect installation.

Follow the installation instructions

Remove both fat (or carbon) filters.
Put the unit on the lower edge of the upper cupboard of the kitchen set. Check the minimum required height according to Fig. 3 (650 mm for electric, and 750 mm for gas hotplates).
You will see the fixing holes through the lower orifice of the unit. Mark the positions on the bottom side of the cupboard.
Mark the position and diameter of the hole for the output piping.
Drill a hole for the output piping.
Fix the unit to the bottom side of the cupboard using the supplied screws (Fig. 4).
For the airing mode, mount the backflow valve on the output hole, and connect the output hole of the fan to the hole in the wall using a flexible pipe (Fig. 5). For the re-circulation mode fix only the flexible pipe to the output hole, and leave the outlet in the room (Fig. 6).
Note: Flexible pipe is not supplied.
Mount the fat (or carbon) filter.
Plug the supply cable into the wall outlet.

Removal

Before removal, disconnect the power cable from the wall outlet and follow the reverse steps to remove individual parts of the unit.
