❑ An activated carbon filter must be fitted for this operating mode (see Filters and maintenance). Lighting

The complete installation set and replacement filters can be obtained from specialist outlets.

The corresponding accessory numbers can be found at the end of these operating instructions. ❑ The extractor-hood fan extracts the kitchen vapours which are purified in the grease filter and activated carbon filter and then conveyed back into the kitchen. ❑ The grease filter absorbs the grease particles in the kitchen vapours. ❑ The activated carbon filter binds the odorous substances. If no activated carbon filter is installed, it is not possible to bind the odorous substances in the cooking vapours.

Before using for the first time

Important notes: ❑ The Instructions for Use apply to several versions of this appliance. Accordingly, you may find descriptions of individual features that do not apply to your specific appliance. ❑ This extractor hood complies with all relevant safety regulations. Repairs should be carried out by qualified technicians only. Improper repairs may put the user at considerable risk. ❑ Before using your appliance for the first time, please read these Instructions for Use carefully. They contain important information concerning your personal safety as well as on use and care of the appliance. ❑ Please retain the operating and installation instructions for a subsequent owner. Dispose of packaging materials properly (see Installation instructions). This extractor hood is designed for domestic use only. Before any cleaning or maintenance operation, disconnect the hood from the mains by removing the plug or disconnecting the home mains switch. The appliance is not intended for use by children or persons with impaired physical, sensorial or mental faculties, or if lacking in experience or know-how, unless they are under supervision or have been trained in the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be monitored to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Never use the hood without effectively mounted grating.! The hood must NEVER be used as a support surface unless specifically indicated. 10

The premises must be sufficiently ventilated, when the kitchen hood is used together with other gas combustion devices or other fuels.

The suctioned air must not be conveyed into a conduit used for the disposal of the fumes generated by appliances that combust gases or other fuels. The flaming of foods beneath the hood itself is severely prohibited. The use of exposed flames is detrimental to the filters and may cause a fire risk, and must therefore be avoided in all circumstances. Any frying must be done with care in order to make sure that the oil does not overheat and burst into flames. As regards the technical and safety measures to be adopted for fume discharging it is important to closely follow the relations provided by the competent authorities. The hood must be regularly cleaned on both the inside and outside (AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH, it is in any event necessary to proceed in accordance with the maintenance instructions provided in this manual).. Failure to follow the instructions as concerns hood and filter cleaning will lead to the risk of fires.

Gas stoves and electric stoves

Do not use a gas hob with all the stoves on and top-powered for more than 15 minutes, otherwise the surface of the cooker hood might risk overheating, thus causing burns in case of contact with the hood. Furthermore the cooker hood might get damaged. In case more than 3 gas stoves are used, the cooker hood must be used at top power. ❑ NB: a big stove having power higher than 5 KW (type WOK) corresponds to 2 standard stoves. ❑ Never use the gas stoves without any pots. Adjust the flame so that it does not exceed the perimeter of the pot. Do not use or leave the hood without the lamp correctly mounted because of the possible risk of electric shocks. We decline any responsibility for any problems, damage or fires caused to the appliance as the result of the nonobservance of the instructions included in this manual.

Filters and maintenance

The most effective method of removing vapours produced during cooking is to:

❑ Switch the ventilator ON as soon as you begin cooking. ❑ Switch the ventilator OFF a few minutes after you have finished cooking.

ATTENTION! Before performing any maintenance operation, isolate the hood from the electrical supply by switching off at the connector and removing the connector fuse.

Or if the appliance has been connected through a plug and socket, then the plug must be removed from the socket.

❑ Switch the desired fan setting. Switching OFF: ❑ Switch back to 0. Lighting: ❑ The light can be switched on at any time, even though the fan is switched off.

Metal filters are used to trap the greasy element of the vapours that develop during cooking.

The filter mats are made from noncombustible metal. Caution: As the filter becomes more and more saturated with grease, not only does the risk of it catching fire increase but the efficiency of the extractor hood can also be adversely affected. Important: By cleaning the metal grease filters at appropriate intervals, the possibility of them catching fire as a result of a build-up of heat such as occurs when deep-fat frying or roasting is taking place, is reduced. Cleaning the metal grease filters: ❑ In normal operation (1 to 2 hours daily), the metal grease filter must be cleaned after 8 to 10 weeks. ❑ The filters can be cleaned in a dishwasher. It is however possible that they will become slightly discoloured. ❑ The filter must be placed loosely, and NOT wedged, in the dishwasher. Important: Metal filters that are saturated with grease should not be washed together with other dishes etc. ❑ When cleaning the filters by hand, soak them in hot soapy water first of all. Then brush the filters clean, rinse them thoroughly and leave the water to drain off.

Filters and maintenance

Removing and inserting the metal grease filters: 1. Press the catch on the grease filters inwards and fold the filters down.

2. Clean the filters.

3. Insert the clean filters back into the hood.

Activated carbon filter:

For neutralizing odours in recirculating mode. Caution: As the filter becomes more and more saturated with grease, there is an increased risk of fire and the function of the extractor hood may be impaired. Mounting: Remove the cover W by rotating the O knobs to 90° ,fit the filter inside and lock in place with the central knob O, then close the cover.

Removing the filter:

The filters are removed in reverse sequence. Replacing the activated carbon filters: ❑ 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 4 mounths. The carbon filter may NOT be washed or regenerated. ❑ The activated carbon filters are available from specialist outlets (see Optional accessories). ❑ Use only original filters. The appliance is then guaranteed to function perfectly. Disposal of old activated carbon filters: ❑ Activated carbon filters do NOT contain any harmful substances. They can therefore be disposed of as householder fuse. 13

Replacing the light bulbs

Disconnect the extractor hood from the electricity supply by pulling out the mains plug or switching it off at the fuse box.

Warning! Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are cooled down.

1. Switch off the extractor hood and pull out the mains plug or switch off the electricity supply at the fuse box. 2. Remove the lamp cover, use a flat bladed screw driver as a lever.

❑ At the same time as you clean the grease filters, clean off any grease from all accessible parts of the housing. This significantly reduces the fire hazard and ensures that the extractor hood performs as effectively as possible.

❑ Use a hot detergent solution or a mild window cleaner to clean the canopy of the extractor hood. ❑ Do not scrape off any dirt that has dried on but loosen it up with a damp cloth. ❑ Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or sponges that could cause scratches. ❑ Note: Do not use alcohol (spirit) on plastic parts, otherwise the surface may become matt in appearance. Caution: Ensure that the kitchen is adequately ventilated. Avoid naked flames! Clean the sliding switch with a soft, damp cloth (mild detergent solution) only. Do not use stainless steel polish on the sliding switch. Stainless steel surfaces:.

3. Replace the bulb (use only Halogenlamp max. 20 Watt - G4 ).

4. Attach the lamp cover again. 5. Plug the appliance into the mains or switch it on at the fuse box.

❑ Use a mild non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner.

❑ Clean the surface in the same direction as it has been ground and polished. Do not use any of the following to clean stainless steel surfaces: abrasive sponges, cleaning agents containing sand, soda, acid or chloride! Aluminium and plastic surfaces: ❑ Use a soft, non-linting window cloth or micro-fibre cloth. ❑ Do not use dry cloths. ❑ Use a mild window cleaning agent.. Do not use aggressive, acidic or caustic cleaners. ❑ Do not use abrasive agents. 14
