INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Product’s operation

The hood extract fumes and steam generated during
cooking from the environment, channelling them through
metal filters that must be regularly removed and washed.
And then, depending on the type of installation, fumes
and steam:

are 

driven outside 

from the building through a

drain pipe: this model does not require the use of
carbon filters (ducting or external drain cooker
hood - Fig. 1.);

are 

funneled through

 one or more carbon filters

(usually one or two) to be purified: the clean air is
then blown into the room thanks to the grid holes
placed on the top of the hood’s chimney (filtering
or internal recirculation cooker hood - 

Fig. 2

.).

Operating instructions

The hood must be switched on 

at least a couple of 

minutes

before starting to cook, to promote the suction of fumes 
and steam.
After finishing cooking, leave the hood in operation for an
extra few minutes: in this case, it may be appropriate to
activate the 

“Timer”

 function, which automatically switches

the hood off after 

10 minutes

.

The page that follows shows how to use the control
panel.

What speed should I use?

The unit operates at three different speeds:

speed 1

: purifies the air whilst limiting electricity consumption;

speed 2

: normal conditions of use (e.g. steam suction)

speed 3

: for the elimination of particularly intense fumes

and smells (e.g: when frying or grilling).

When should the filters be washed or replaced?

The hood has two types of filters:

metal filters

: these must be removed and 

washed

 at least

once a month. For the cleaning procedure refer to chapter
“

Cleaning

“ on page 11.

active carbon filter: this is only found in internal air 
recirculation models (Fig. 2.), and must be removed and 

replaced 

approximately every 

3-4 months

, depending on

use.
