Using the appliance

Installation (external outlet)

Before using the appliance for the first time, please consider the following tips.
Mounting the check valve
If the extractor hood is not equipped with an assembled check valve 1 , you must mount the two halves onto the body of the hood. The illustrations for mounting the check valve are provided below as an indication. The evacuation may vary depending on the model and configuration.
To mount the check valve 1:

• Fit the two halves 2 into the housing 6 ;
• Direct the stem 3 upwards;
• Insert the axis 4 into the holes in the 5 housing;
• Repeat all the operations for the other half.

Installation
If you have an external evacuation, you can connect your extractor hood as illustrated below using an extraction duct (flexible tube made from aluminum, enamel or other non-flammable material tubes with an internal diameter of 150 mm).

• Switch off the appliance and disconnect from the mains prior to installation.

• For optimum results, the extractor hood should be installed at a distance of 65 to 75 cm above the cooking surface.

• After deciding on the height of the extractor hood, measure the position of the holes required to suspend the hood as well as the inner duct mount. Drill 4 holes of 8: 2 for the inner duct mount and 2 others to suspend the hood, while making sure it is properly levelled. The position of the inner duct mount corresponds to the location of the duct. See figure 2

• Screw two 4 x 30 mm screws to the wall using dowels to secure the hood, then use two 4 mm x 40 mm screws to secure inner duct mount. See figure 2

• Install the transformer as well as the expansion pipe on the outlet. Attach the extension pipe to the transformer using the clamp. See figure 3

Reminder: the extension pipe is not supplied.

• Install the outer duct mount using 2 ST4*8mm screws, ensuring that the inner duct remains flexible. See figure 4

• Suspend the hood from the wall by adjusting its position and fix the extractor hood using 2 ST4*30 mm safety screws.

COMMENT : The two safety vents are placed on the rear cover and have a 6 mm diameter. See figure 5

• Adjust the height of the inner duct relative to the position of the inner duct mount and fix it all using 2 ST4*8 mm screws. See figure 6

Recommendations for installation of the evacuation duct

The following rules must be strictly followed, in order to obtain optimal air extraction:

• Keep the evacuation duct short and straight.
• Do not shorten or obstruct the evacuation duct.
• If you use a flexible pipe, always install it so that it is properly stretched out to limit pressure losses.
• Failure to comply with these basic instructions will reduce the performance of the hood and increase its noise level.
• All installation work must be carried out by a qualified electrician or a competent person.
• Do not connect all the ducts in the hood to an existing ventilation system that is used for another device, such as heating, gas or hot air ducts. The angle of curvature of the ventilation duct shall not be less than 120º; you need to position the duct horizontally.
• Otherwise, raise the pipe vertically from the entry point and guide it towards an outside wall.
• Once the installation is complete, check that the extractor hood is level to avoid any accumulation of grease on one end.

Ensure that the evacuation duct chosen for the installation meets applicable standards and is flame retardant.

WARNING : For safety reasons, please only use fastening or mounting screws with the dimensions recommended in this user manual. Any non-compliant installation of the screws or fastening devices with these instructions presents an electrical hazard.

Maintenance and cleaning

CAUTION

• The extractor hood must be disconnected from the power source before any maintenance or cleaning. Make sure the hood is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is disconnected.
• External surfaces are easily scratched and scraped. Please follow the cleaning instructions to ensure the best possible result without damaging the appliance.

General information
Maintenance, especially cleaning, must be performed once the appliance has cooled down. Avoid leaving alkaline or acidic substances (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the surfaces.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel should be cleaned regularly (e.g. once a week) to ensure long life. Wipe with a clean, soft cloth. You can also use a special cleaner for stainless steel.

NOTE

• Be sure to wipe the stainless steel to prevent the appearance of any unsightly scratches.

Surface of the control panel
The coating on the control panel can be cleaned with hot soapy water. Make sure the cloth is clean and properly wrung out before cleaning. Use a soft cloth to remove any excess moisture left after cleaning.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• Use neutral detergents and avoid harsh chemicals, strong household detergents or products containing abrasives because they would damage the appearance of the appliance, could remove any illustrations printed on the control panel which would void the warranty.

Grease filters
Mesh grease filters can be cleaned by hand. Dip in water containing a degreaser for 3 minutes, then brush them with a soft brush. Do not press too hard to avoid damaging them. (Let them dry in the open air and away from direct sunlight.) The filters must not be washed along with dishes and kitchen utensils. Rinse aid should not be used Refer to the figure opposite to dismantle the grease filters.

Installation of grease filters

To install the filters, please follow the following four steps.

• Tilt the filter in the slots at the rear of the hood.
• Push the button on the handle of the filter.
• Release the handle once the filter is locked in position.
•  Repeat to install all the filters.

Charcoal filter (not supplied)
An activated charcoal filter may be used to neutralise odours. Normally, the charcoal filter should be changed every three to six months, depending on cooking habits. The installation procedure of the activated charcoal filter is as follows:
Recycling version
To transform the hood from the evacuation version to the recycling version, ask your dealer for activated charcoal filters.
Installing the activated charcoal filter (cassette)

• The aluminium filter must be removed to install the activated charcoal filter.
• Open the grating, press the locking device and pull the filter downwards.
• Place the activated charcoal filter inside the appliance and fasten it by turning anticlockwise.
• Replace the grating in its original position.

Installing the activated charcoal filter (cut-out)

• The aluminium filter must be removed to install the activated charcoal filter.
• Place the precut filter above the aluminium filter.
• Replace the aluminium filter.
• We recommend running the hood for a few minutes before starting to cook. We also recommend switching it off 15 minutes after cooking has finished to eliminate odours as much as possible and remove bad air.

NOTE

• Make sure the filter is properly inserted. Otherwise, it will come out and present a hazard.
• When an activated charcoal filter is installed, the suction power is reduced.

Bulb replacement

IMPORTANT

• The bulb must be replaced by the manufacturer, one of its technicians or a qualified person.
• Always switch off the power before performing any operation on it. Before handling the bulb, make sure it has completely cooled.
• When handling bulbs, hold them with a cloth or gloves to ensure that sweat does not come into contact with them, as this may reduce their life
