GUIDELINES CONCERNING THE SAFETY OF USE43

Step-by-step appliance installation is shown on Fig.

Setting the air extractor mode of operation of

In the extractor mode air is discharged to the out-

side by a special conduit. In that setting any carbon

lters shall be removed. The hood should be con-

nected to the opening discharging air to the outside

by means of a rigid or exible conduit of

120 mm diameter, which should be purchased in a

shop selling installation materials.

A qualied installer should be commissioned to

make the connection.

Setting the odour absorber mode of operation

In this option ltered air returns to the room

through openings in the front of the hood.

In this setting it is necessary to install the carbon

lter. It is recommended to install the air guide

(availability depending on model).

In some universal hoods you need to switch lever

inside the hood (Fig. 8) to switch between the

extraction and air recirculation modes. The cle-

aned air is returned to the room through the holes

in the top of the unit.

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 ltered air.

The lowest and medium speeds should be used

under normal conditions and with low concentration

of fumes. The maximum speed should be used in

case of high concentration of kitchen fumes, e.g.

during frying or grilling.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Maintenance

Regular maintenance and cleaning of the device

will ensure faultless operation, and help extend the

life of the unit. Attention should be paid to replacing

grease and carbon lters according to instructions.

Aluminium grease lter

For normal hood operation, aluminium grease lter

should be cleaned every month in the dishwasher

or by hand using a mild detergent or liquid soap.

Dismantling of aluminium grease lter is shown on

Acrylic lter is used in some models. This lter sho-

uld be replaced at least once every two months or

more frequently if the appliance is used intensively.

Charcoal lter (only the recirculation version)

Operation - Carbon lters can be used only when

the hood is not connected to any ventilation duct.

Filters with active carbon can absorb odours until

they are saturated. They cannot be washed or re-

generated and should be replaced at least every 2

months or more frequently in case of very intensive

Dismantling of charcoal lter is shown on Figure 6.

See Figure 7 for details how to replace lights. Use

incandescent / halogen / LED modules of the same

specication as those factory-installed in the ap-

Normal hood cleaning:

l Do not use a soaked cloth, sponge, or water

l Do not use solvents or alcohol, as they may

tarnish lacquered surfaces.

l Do not use caustic substances, especially for

cleaning stainless steel.

l Do not use a rough or abrasive cloth.

It is recommend to use a damp cloth and a neutral

Aluminium lters may be washed in the dishwash-

er. The colour of aluminium lters may change after

several washings. This is normal and it is not nec-

essary to renew the lters.47
