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 consump-
tion;
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.
