Part 2 - USE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1 - SAFETY WARNINGS
It is most important that all the warnings shown in paragraph 2 of the Installation
Instructions are strictly observed. Moreover, special attention must be paid to the
following warnings during the use and maintenance of the cooker hood:
1.1 - The grease filters and the charcoal filters should be cleaned or replaced as
recommended by the manufacturer or more frequently if the hood is used
consistently (more than 4 hours per day).
1.2 - When using a gas hob in connection with the cooker hood never leave the burners
of the hob uncovered while the hood is in use or when the pans have been
removed. Switch off the gas before removing the pan or for just short periods and
never leave the hob unattended.
1.3 - Always ensure that the appliance is kept at the correct intensity to prevent the
flame from licking round from the bottom of the pan; this will save energy and will
avoid a dangerous concentration of heat.
1.4 - Always ensure that the appliance is used in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions for the removal of contaminated odours during cooking.
2 - USE
2.1 - Control panel (3 switches) (fig. 12a)
SWITCH
L
= controls the worktop illumination
SWITCH
M
= switches the motor on or off
SWITCH
V
= controls the fan speed
2.2 - Control panel (2 switches) (fig. 12b)
SWITCH
L
= controls the worktop illumination
SWITCH
M

Working speeds:
Position
1
= low speed, should be selected when simmering or using only one pan:
the noise level is kept to the minimum.
Position
2
= medium speed, should be selected for normal cooking. This speed offers
the best ratio between air capacity and noise level.
Position
3
= top speed, should be selected when frying or cooking food with strong
odours, even for a long period.
