NOTES ON SAFETY

• Before using the appliance, please carefully read this manual!
• The appliance is designed for household use only.
• The manufacturer reserves the right to introduce changes, which do not affect operation of the appliance.
• The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage or fire caused by the appliance resulting from failure to follow instructions in this manual.
• Cooker hood is designed to remove cooking odours. Do not use cooker hood for other purposes.
• Connect the cooker hood operating in extraction mode to a suitable ventilation duct (do NOT connect the cooker to smoke or flue gas ducts, which are in use). It requires installation of the air extraction duct to the outside. The length of the duct (usually a pipe of ∅ 120 or 150 mm) should not be longer than 4-5 m. An air extraction duct is also required for telescopic and furniture hoods in absorption mode.
• Cooker hood operating in air recirculation mode requires the installation of an activated charcoal filter. In this case, installing an extractor duct is not required, however it is recommended to install an air guide vane (Mainly in chimney cooker hoods).
• The cooker hood features independent lighting and exhaust fan that can be operated at one of several speeds.
• Depending on the type, the hood is designed to be permanently attached to a vertical wall over a gas or electric stove (chimney and universal hoods); on the ceiling over a gas or electric stove (island hoods); on the vertical built in furniture over a gas or electric stove (telescopic and built-in hoods). Before installing, make sure that the wall/ceiling structure is strong enough to suspend the hood. Some hoods are very heavy.

- For details of the installation distance above an electric hob please refer to product technical sheet. If the installation instructions of the gas cooker specify a greater distance, this must be taken into account (Fig. 1).

- Do not leave an open flame under the hood. When the pots are removed from the burner, set the minimum flame. Always make sure that the flame does not extend outside the pot, because it causes unwanted loss of energy and a dangerous concentration of heat.

- When cooking on fat, supervise the pans constantly, because overheated fat can ignite.

- Unplug the appliance before any cleaning, replacing the filter or repair work.

- Cooker hood grease filter should be cleaned at least once a month, because the filter saturated with fat is flammable.

- Ensure adequate ventilation (air flow) if other equipment such as liquid fuel stoves or heaters are operated in the room in addition the cooker hood. When the cooker hood is simultaneously operated with burning appliances requiring adequate fresh air from the room to work properly, their safe operation is possible if under pressure around these appliances is a maximum of 0.004 mbar (this does not apply when the cooker hood is used as an odour filter)

- Do not lean on the hood.

- The hood should be cleaned regularly both inside and out (AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH, following the indications concerning maintenance provided in this manual)..Failure to adhere to the rules concerning cleaning the hood and replacing filters results in a fire risk.

Other important information concerning the operation of the hood

Operation in air circulation / odour filter mode. In this mode, the filtered air returns to the room through the outlets. Install activated charcoal filter in this setting. It is recommended to install the air guide (available depending on the model, mainly in chimney cooker hoods).

Air extraction operation: When cooker hood operates in extraction mode, air is discharged outside through an extraction duct. Remove activated charcoal filter in this setting. The cooker hood is connected to the air outlet opening using a rigid or flexible extraction duct with a diameter of 150 or 120 mm, and the appropriate clamps, which must be purchased at a hardware store. The appliance should be installed by a qualified installer.

Fan speed: Lowest and medium fan speed is used in normal conditions and less intense odours, while the highest speed is used only when cooking odours are very intense, such as during frying or grilling.

Note (applies to universal hoods only): Due to the design of universal hoods you need to manually change the mode of operation. See Figure 8 for instructions on how to change the mode.

Note (only applies to telescopic and in-built kitchen hoods): Furniture and telescopic cooker hoods operating in air recirculation mode require installation of the exhaust duct. The other end of the duct should be directed to the room as it will discharge filtered air.

Note: Hanging kitchen hoods operate only in air circulation / odour absorber mode

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
