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 on and off, enabling you to select one of the different speeds.

The hood is also equipped with a micro-switch which can be found under the lower runner of the visor on the right hand side.

With this micro-switch, the appliance may be automatically switched on and off by opening and closing the pull-out panel, but only if the fan speed has already been set and the light switch is turned to "I".

Maintenance and Care

- 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.

Paper 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 evacuation or internal recycling function.

The paper grease filter is very thin (approx. 1 mm) and positioned on the inside of its related support grille.

The filter should be changed once a month.

- The grille should be cleaned with luke warm water and non-abrasive detergent when you change the filter.

- The grease filter can be ordered from your local Service Force Centre.

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 over-current 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.

IMPORTANT! Power cable replacement must be undertaken by the authorized service assistance centre or similar qualified person.

Before beginning installation

• Warning! Do not connect the appliance to the mains until the installation is fully complete.
• Remove and keep the grille.

Note: This is to be mounted once installation is completed.

• 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).
• Choose the exhaust hole to use- Fig. 6:

Only recirculation mode: use ONLY the top exhaust hole.

Check that this, once installation is completed, is not obstructed and that there is sufficient space so that the purified fumes and steam can return easily into the kitchen.

Press with decision to take away the prefractured part (Top or Rear) that closes the exhaust hole and remove it.

Install the connection ring on the open discharge outlet (bayonet attachment - (Extraction mode only) or the deflector. (recirculation mode only).
