Safety warnings

• When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a hose having preferably the same diameter as the outlet hole.

Should there already be a pipe of diameter 125mm that ducts to the outside through the walls or roof, it is possible to use the 150/125 mm reduction flange provided. In this case the hood will be slightly noisier.

Attention: The hose is not supplied and must be purchased separately.

• The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking vessels on the hob and the lowest part of the range hood must be not less than 50cm from electric cookers and 65cm from gas or mixed cookers.
  If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not use or leave the hood without the lamp correctly mounted because of the possible risk of electric shocks.

Description of the Appliance

• The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours from the kitchen, it will not extract steam.
• The hood is supplied as an extractor unit and can also be used with a recirculation mode by fitting a charcoal filter.

Extraction mode

• In this mode fumes are extracted to the outside via a hose connected to the coupling ring. Fig. 1
• In order to obtain the best performance the hose should have a diameter equal to the outlet hole.

Fig. 1

Recirculation mode

The air is filtered through a charcoal filter and returned to the kitchen. Fig. 2
- You will need an original charcoal filter for the recirculation mode. (See Special Accessories).

Fig. 2

Control Panel

• Best results are obtained by using a low speed for normal conditions and a high speed when odours are more concentrated. Turn the hood on a few minutes before you start cooking. The hood should be left on after cooking for about 15 minutes or until all the odours have disappeared. The control switches are located on the unit's front panel:

• the light switch switches the hood lamp on and off
• the motor switch switches the motor off
• Speed 1: Speed 1 push-button
• Speed 2: Speed 2 push-button
• Speed 3: Speed 3 push-button

Maintenance and Care

Warning! 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.

Metal grease filter

• The purpose of the grease filters is to absorb grease particles which form during cooking and it must always be used, either in the external extraction or internal re-circulation function.

Attention: the metal grease filters must be removed and washed, either by hand or in the dishwasher, every four weeks.

Removing the metal grease filters

• Push it towards the back of the unit and then pull it down and out.

Fig. 3.

Hand washing

Soak grease filters for about one hour in hot water with a grease- loosening cleaner, then rinse off thoroughly with hot water. Repeat the process if necessary. Refit the grease filters when they are dry.

Dishwasher

Place grease filters in the dishwasher. Select most powerful washing programme and highest temperature, at least 65^ .

Repeat the process. Refit the grease filters when they are dry.

When washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher a slight discolouration of the filter can occur, this does not have any impact on its performance.

• Clean the inner housing using a hand hot solution only (never use caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes).

Fig. 3

Charcoal filter

• The charcoal filter should only be used if you want to use the hood in recirculation mode.

- Cleaning/replacing the carbon filter

Unlike other carbon filters, the LONGLIFE carbon filter can be cleaned and reactivated. At normal use the filter should be cleaned every second month (when using the hood 2,5 hours per day, in avarage). The best way to clean the filter is in the dishwasher. Use normal detergent and choose the highest temperature (65^) .

Wash the filter separately so that no food parts gets stuck on the filter and later causes bad odours. To reactivate the carbon, the filter should be dried in an oven for 10 minutes with a temperature of maximum 100^ C.

After approximately three years of use, the carbon filter should be replaced with a new one, as the odour reduction capacity will be reduced.

Fitting

Remove the grease filters. Remove the frame i which supports the filter h by turning 90^ the two knobs g.

Insert the charcoal filter inside the frame and put all parts back in their place. Refit the grease filters. Fig. 4.

• To remove proceed in the reverse order.
• Always specify the hood model code number and serial number when ordering replacement filters. This information is shown on the rating plate located on the inside of the unit.
• The charcoal filter can be ordered from your local Service Force Centre.

Warning

• Failure to observe the instructions on cleaning the unit and changing the filters will cause a fire hazard. You are therefore strongly recommended to follow these instructions.

• The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to the motor or any fire damage linked to inappropriate maintenance or failure to observe the above safety recommendations.

Changing the light bulbs

• Disconnect the cooker hood from the mains supply.
• Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are cooled down.
• Extract the lamp cover by using a small flat screwdriver or similar tool as a lever.
• Replace the old bulb with a new one of the same type.
• Refit the lamp cover.
• If the light does not come on, make sure the bulb has been inserted in correctly before contacting your local Service Force Centre.

Cleaning the hood

• Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a solution of water and mild washing up liquid.
• Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products or products containing bleach.
• Never insert pointed objects in the motor's protective grid.
• Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grill using a damp cloth and mild washing up liquid.
• Clean all the plastic parts with a soft cloth soaked in warm water and neutral soap.
• It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the filters at the recommended intervals. Failure to do so will cause grease deposits to build up that could constitute a fire hazard.

Safety warnings for the electrician

Safety warnings for the electrician

The mains power supply must correspond to the rating indicated on the plate situated inside the hood. If provided with a plug connect the hood to a socket in compliance with current regulations and positioned in an accessible area. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not located in an accessible area apply a bi-polar switch in accordance with standards which assures the complete disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to overcurrent category III, in accordance with installation instructions.

IMPORTANT: Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains supply and checking the efficient function, always check that the mains cable is correctly assembled.

Before beginning installation

• In addition check whether near the installation area of the hood (in the area accessible also with the hood mounted) an electric connection to the mains is available and if it is possible to connect a fumes discharge device to the outside (Extraction mode only).
• Warning! Do not connect the appliance to the mains until the installation is fully complete.
