Operation

The hood is intended for sucking in the vapours during the meals cooking. The device may work in two modes:

As the extracting hood: the vapours are extracted from the premise through the withdrawal tube. The withdrawal tube is not supplied with the device, and should be acquired separately.

NOTE:

■ The shortest possible vapours evacuating channel shall be used.
■ Use the flue pipe with maximally smooth internal surface (the use of Spiro type pipes is not recommended).
■ Use the flue channel with as low number of bends as possible (the bending angles shall not exceed 90^ ).
- The changes in flue channel sections are not advised (from higher section to lower section, for example the change from ∅150 mm to ∅120 mm).

As the absorber: the vapours are cleaned from fat and odours, before they are returned back to the premise through the grills in the top part of the chimney body. To make the hood work in the absorber mode, install the coal filter (Fig.10). The coal filter is not included in the standard equipment, and should be acquired separately.

Hood installation

NOTE:

The use of screws and fastening elements not specified in the Operation Manual may cause the electrical shock.

The minimum distance of hood hanging between the surface of kitchenware placement over the cooking range (gas, electric range), and lowest part of the hood (Fig.3) shall amount at least 45 cm for electric cooking ranges and at least 65 cm for gas cooking ranges. Should the cooking range operation manual provide the higher distance for hood installation, such higher distance requirement shall be maintained.

The installation of the hood and chimney body is shown at the figures (Fig.4 - Fig.9). The hood is equipped with the fixing pins matching to the most part of walls and ceilings. In course of the assembly, observe the common rules for air exhaust from the premises.

Before starting the installation:

■ Check if the purchased

device dimensions match to the planned installation place.

• Disassembly and remove (if possible) any furniture remaining in the hood installation area, in order to ensure the easy access to ceiling or wall, where the hood shall be mounted. If it is not possible, protect the furniture elements remaining in the adjacent area.
• Check, if there is a socket near the mounting area, and control if the hood may be connected to the ventilation channel for vapours evacuation.
• Check if there are no cables (electrical, hydraulic, etc.) in places in which the drilling will be performed.
• Prepare the following tools: tape ruler, pencil, drill / electric screwdriver, drilling tool ∅8, screwdriver, builder's level.

Assembly operation:

1. Define the axis of cooking range, and project it onto the wall, where the hood will be mounted. Sign all characteristic points of hood fastening. Make the openings with the drill. (Fig. 4)

2. Into the openings, insert the screw plugs. In two openings marked with A screw also the screws (leaving 7 mm of screw length outside the screw plug, Fig.5).

3. Open the hood cover and remove the fat filter (Fig.6).
4. Screw the chimney body fastening element, hang the hood on two untightened screws (Fig. 7).
5. Place the level on the hood body. Rotating the element marked with A, adjust the hood level according the level's indications, and then tighten two screws previously screwed partially and screw in two remaining screws (Fig. 8).

Place the chimney body on the hood body. Then, draw delicately the hood part signed with B upwards, until it becomes possible to screw it to the fastening element previously attached to the wall (Fig. 9).
