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 150mm 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 500 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 connected to the coupling ring A. Fig. 1. In order to obtain the best performance the ducting should have a diameter equal to the outlet hole. A Fig.
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, you will then get an under pressure in the kitchen. 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: A - Mains switch, OFF. B - Start and choice of motor speed 1-2-3 C - Indicates speed 1 (LED).
Grease and charcoal filter maintenance indicator This hood is fitted with a device that indicates when it is necessary to clean the grease filter or the charcoal filter (if the hood is used in the recirculation version with a charcoal filter). On delivery, the hood is not supplied with a charcoal filter, so the saturation indicator will be disabled. If the hood is to be used with a charcoal filter, the saturation indicator light must be enabled as follows: Set the hood in “OFF”.
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). • Cleaning/replacing the charcoal filter Unlike other charcoal filters, the LONGLIFE charcoal filter can be cleaned and reactivated. With normal use the filter should be cleaned every second month (when using the hood 2,5 hours per day,on avarage).
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.

Wall unit mounting - Fig. 6-7 First decide which functioning mode is better for you. If you decide to use the hood in extraction mode we suggest you position the upper section of the chimney so that the oulet slots are not visible once installation is completed, however if is decided to use the hood in rrecirculation mode BE SURE that the side with slots is up (see also A-B-C sequence on on Fig. 6).
• Mark the wall with a centre line, this will aid mounting procedure (1), position the template so that the mid line printed on the template matches with the centre line previously signed, the lower side of the template corresponds to the lower side of the hood once mounted (2). • Drill two holes Ø 8mm and fix the support bracket with two wall plugs and screws (3).
