Safety warnings For the user • The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours from the kitchen, it will not extract steam. • Always cover lighted elements, to prevent excess heat from damaging the appliance. In the case of oil, gas and coal fired cookers it is essential to avoid open flames. • Also, when frying, keep the deep frying pan on the cooker top/ cooker under careful control. • The hot oil in the frying pan might ignite due to overheating.
For the installer • When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a 120mm diameter duct. • When installing the hood, make sure you respect the following minimum distance from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring surfaces: electric cookers 430 mm gas cookers 650 mm The hood can be installed above these heights but for optimum performance it should be installed at the distance quoted for the appropriate heat source.
- short and straight outlet ducting - keep bends in outlet ducting to a minimum - never install the ducts with an acute angle, they must always follow a gentle curve. - keep the duct as large as possible (preferably the same diameter as the outlet hole). • Failure to observe these basic instructions will drastically reduce the performance and increase the noise levels of the extractor hood.
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 version by fitting a charcoal filter. Extraction version • • In this version fumes are extracted to the outside via a duct. In order to obtain the best performance the ducting should have a diameter equal to the outlet hole.
Control Panel • The switches are mounted on the upper right side of the visor (Fig. 1 - E). The numbers and symbols have the following meanings (from left to right): 1 2 3 4 = = = = fan set 1 fan set 2 fan set 3 fan set 4 = Light = Light OFF = Light ON The fan is controlled by moving the sliding switch. The extractor part (visor) of the hood is used to switch the fan on and off when the appliance is switched on (Motor). When the visor of the appliance is withdrawn, the fan automatically switches on.
Maintenance and Care • The hood must always be disconnected from the electricity supply before beginning any maintenance work. Cleaning the hood • Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a mild detergent. • Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products. • Never insert pointed objects in the motor’s protective grid. • Wash the outside surfaces using a delicate detergent solution. Never use caustic detergents or abrasive brushes or powders.
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 Centre). • Replacing the charcoal filter Type 150 This filter cannot be cleaned or reused. As a general rule, the activated charcoal filter should be changed once every 4 months.
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 bulb • Disconnect the cooker hood from the main supply.
Something Not Working If your appliance fails to work properly please carry out the following checks. Symptom Solution The cooker hood will not start... Check that: The hood is connected to the electricity supply. Check that a fan speed has been selected The cooker hood is not working Check that: The fan speed is set high enough for the task. The grease filters are clean. The kitchen is adequately vented to allow the entry of fresh air.

Installation Preparing the wall unit - Extractor version • The hood is supplied as an extractor unit. 172 190 Before installing the hood, drill a 238 hole in the roof of the wall unit (see Fig. 5). This hole is to allow passage of the outlet pipe and the power cable, and to facilitate servicing. • The wall unit must have a minimum body depth (without Fig. 5 door) of 300 mm with recessed light screen and min. 370 mm with flush-mounted light screen. The unobstructed internal height must be at least 370 mm.
Outlet hole - Only for model (extractor-filter version) • When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a 120mm diameter hose. • The dimensions and position of the air outlet are given in figure 9. • Fix the flange supplied as kit onto the exit hole (bayonet fixture). • Using the adapter, Ø100, Ø110 and Ø125 mm exhausting pipes can be used. Ø 125 mm exhausting hose: insert the adapter on the flange and remove, using a proper tool, the upper unused Ø 100 and Ø 110 mm rings of the adapter.
Spice rack • If a spice rack is to be incorporated in front of the hood, a minimum distance of 5 mm must be provided between the front edge of the fume extractor hood and the spice rack wall (this air gap being necessary for air circulation). • The upper part of the spice rack rear wall should be detachable (access for exhaust air hose or adjustment of furniture housing).
• If the cupboard is deeper than 300 mm, cover the gap between the hood and the wall with a finishing strip (special accessory). To install it, proceed as follows: Measure the wall distance and apply the covenng strip over the necessary width (wall distance plus 5 to 8 mm), kinking the covering strip at the appropriate notches and tearing off the surplus material (removing the protective foil). Then fasten the strip to the bottom part of the hood with three clips (special accessories). Apply pressure. Fig.
Removing the hood from the wall unit If, for technical reasons (extraction version/recirculation version conversion) the extractor hood has to be removed from the wall unit, proceed as follows: • Fully withdraw the visor and remove the grease filter. • Loosen the 4 mounting screws of the hood (wall unit mounting). • To loosen both mounting claws (installation aids), place a max 3 mm dia. Phillips screw-driver in the spring opening and simultaneously press the springs inwards (towards the appliance housing).
Installing the front panel (see also “Special accessories”) • Remove first the rear then the front grease filters. • Remove the internal cover pressing both unlocking devices (press and pull). Fig. 16. Fig. 16 • Predrill the front panel as per template and fix it to the visor with 3 screws. Fig. 17-18. Fig. 17 Fig. 18 • Clip the Internal cover back in and insert both grease filters (first the front one and then the rear one).
