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 in recirculation mode by fitting a charcoal filter. • You will need an original charcoal filter for this function (Available from your local Service Force Centre).

Extraction mode Upper exhaust outlet

Recirculation mode Rear exhaust outlet

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

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

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 hood’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 three different speeds. 52

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.

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 filter

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°C. 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 corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products or products containing bleach).

• Use the spring handle and remove the filter downward.

Charcoal filter • The charcoal filter should only be used if you want to use the hood in the recirculation function. • To do this you will need an original charcoal filter (available from your local Service Force Centre). • Replacing the charcoal filter The charcoal filter cannot be washed nor regenerated. The charcoal filter should be replaced every 4 months under normal use. Replacement filters are available from your local Service Force Centre. • Fitting

Electrical connection 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 double pole 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.

Installation Warning! Do not connect the appliance to the mains until the installation is fully complete. Before beginning the installation process

Extraction mode ONLY Exhaust outlet selection The hood is equipped with two exhaust outlets, one facing upwards (Upper exhaust outlet) and the other facing backwards (Rear exhaust outlet). Both outlets are closed off with pre-cut panels which, once removed, cannot be replaced. For this reason you should only choose which outlet to use once you are completely certain. Upper exhaust outlet Press firmly against the pre-cut part closing off the exhaust outlet and remove it completely. Rear exhaust outlet Remove the plastic pre-cut part. Use a cutter to score along the pre-cut part at the centre, beginning at the top and working downwards. Use a pair of pliers to grip the plastic tabs on the parts which need to be removed, then push and pull firmly a few times until you have completely removed the pre-cut parts. Use a cutter to eliminate any rough ridges.

Flange installation Install the flange supplied to the upper or rear exhaust outlet as desired (bayonet fastening).

Wall unit mounting • Make the holes on the bottom of the cupboard (2), using the drilling template (1). Make a hole for the exhaust pipe (4) if the hood is to be used in the extraction mode (3). • From inside the cupboard, insert the 4 supplied screws (5) and tighten them in the appropriate holes on the appliance.

Recirculation mode Only This version of the hood is ready for installation. Make sure the charcoal filter is installed and the internal Extraction/Recirculation mode switch is set to "Recirculation". For further details relating to the charcoal filter, please refer to the corresponding paragraph.

Wall mounting • Mark a centre line on the wall (1). • Fix the drilling template to the wall (2). • Make 4 holes in the wall as indicated on the template (3a). Extraction mode only: If you wish to use the rear exhaust outlet on the hood, make a hole in the wall so that the exhaust pipe can pass through it (3b). • Insert 4 rawl plugs into the holes you have made (4). • Insert two 5 x 45 screws into the upper holes (5) but do not tighten them completely (6). • Hook the hood onto the screws. • Adjust the unit so that it is positioned at a right angle to the wall by turning the two screws on lower side (7). • Tighten the 2 upper screws (8). • Insert 2 screws into the lower holes (9) from inside the hood, then tighten all the screws fully (10).

Installing the flues Caution! Before beginning this procedure, we recommend you cover the hood with a protective sheet; this will prevent it from being damaged by the dust created as you drill holes in the wall. 3

• Extend the vertical centre line so that it reaches the ceiling (1).

• Connect the electricity supply (3) and exhaust tube (4) if necessary. • Cut the seals to size (4 pieces) and apply them to the sides of the lower flue bracket (5).

• Fit the 2 flue fixing brackets (2), 3/4 mm away from the ceiling at the top and in contact with the hood at the bottom. Use 2 screws and 2 rawl plugs per bracket. Use the brackets as drilling templates. The "v" indicator on each bracket should be aligned with the centre line marked on the wall previously.

• Fit the flues onto the lower bracket; insert the flue tabs into the corresponding slots on top of the hood (6). • Fix the upper part of the flue in place using 2 screws (7). 7

• Adjust the alignment of the hood to improve its coupling with the flue.
