Operation
The hood is fitted with a control panel with aspiration speed
selection control and a light switch to control cooking area
lights.
Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen
vapours. It is recommended that the cooker hood suction is
switched on for 5 minutes prior to cooking and to leave in
operation during cooking and for another 15 minutes
approximately after terminating cooking.
Maintenance
Prior to any maintenance operation ensure that the cooker
hood is disconnected from the power supply.
Cleaning
The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly internally and
externally. Clean using the cloth dampened with neutral liquid
detergent. Do not use abrasive products.
DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!
Warning: Failure to carry out the basic standards of the
cleaning of the cooker hood and replacement of the filters may
cause fire risks.
Therefore we recommend observing these instructions.
Grease filter
This must be cleaned once a month (or when the filter
saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in
possession – indicates this necessity) using non aggressive
detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must be
set to a low temperature and a short cycle. When washed in a
dishwasher, the grease filter may discolour slightly, but this
does not affect its filtering capacity.
To remove the metal grease filter
(according model you own:Fig. 2-a-b-c-d)
1. Disconnect the hood from the electricity.
2. Push
handles
A toward the centre
The model with the grill support (see fig. 2d) has an internal
metal filter.
The release the grease filter support from the hood, pull the
release buttons B (Fig. 3) inwards. To extract the metal grease
filter from the support grill, pull from right to left and extract the
grease filter.
(When washing the grease filter, wash the support grate as
well with warm soapy water).
Carry out the above steps in reverse order to put the filters
back after having washed them, making sure the entire
extraction surface is covered.
Charcoal filter (filter version only)
Fig. 4
It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.
The saturation of the activated charcoal occurs after more or
less prolonged use, depending on the type of cooking and the
regularity of cleaning of the grease filter.
In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least
every four mounths.
To dismount the carbon filter:
1. Disconnect the hood from the electricity.
2. Remove the metal filters (or its support).
3. Remove exhausted carbon filter, push release button C
and pull carbon filter downwards.
To fit the carbon filter:
1. Fit the carbon filter by sliding it OVER the metal tabs D
and hook it into housings E.
Put the metal filter or its support back into place.
Replacing lamps
Fig. 4
Disconnect the hood from the electricity.
Warning! Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are
cooled down.
1. Disconnect the hood from the electricity.
2. Open the lamp holder compartment by turning the
clasps F for the protective shield for the lamps in the
counter-clockwise direction.
3. Replace faulty lamp with one of an equal rating and
kind.
According the cooker hood you own:
Lamp 40W max (E14) or Neon lamp 14W max or PL
lamp 11W max (model with 1 PL lamp) or PL lamp 9W
max (model with two PL lamps)
4. Reclose the protective shield for the lamp.
If the lights do not work, make sure that the lamps are fitted
properly into their housings before you call for technical
assistance.
Caution
Never use the hood without the grill mounted!
This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Children
should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with
the appliance .
The premises must have sufficient ventilation when the
kitchen hood is used at the same time as other apparatuses
that use gas and other fuels.
The sucked air must not be conveyed in a conduit used for
discharging fumes produced by apparatuses fuelled by gas
or other fuels.
Cooking food on the flame under the hood is severely
prohibited.
The use of open flame damages the filters and can cause a
fire; it must therefore be avoided in any case.
Frying must be carried out under control in order to prevent
overheated oil catching fire.
Keep strictly to the regulations envisaged by the competent
local authority as far as the technical and safety measures to
adopt for discharging fumes are concerned.
The hood is to be cleaned frequently both internally and
externally.
Failure to observe the regulations about cleaning the hood
and substituting and cleaning the filters can lead to the risk of
fire.
Any responsibility is declined for possible inconveniences,
damage or fire caused to the apparatus deriving from failure
to observe the instructions shown in this manual.
This appliance is marked according to the European directive
