Operation Manual

VI Operation and maintenance
1. Operational safety.
All safety instructions included in chapter IV must be observed. Textile grease filters and
carbon filters should be replaced and aluminium filter should be cleaned according to
manufacturer’s instructions, or more frequently in periods of intensive use (more than 4 hours
a day). If a gas cooker is used it is forbidden to leave uncovered flame. When removing pots
from gas burners set the flame to its minimum level. Always make sure that flame does not
extend outside the pot. Such a situation causes undesired energy losses and dangerous heat
build-ups. The hood should not be used for other purposes than those for which it was
designed.
2. Operation:
2.1 Control panel
Fig. 4
Operation of the hood can be controlled by means of switches „W” and „O” (Fig. 4):
- switch „O” controls lighting. Shifting the switch to the left turns the lighting on, to the right
- turns the lighting off.
- switch „W” is used to control the hood motor. Successive shifts to the left turn on three fan
operation speeds. These control options enable the user to set the optimum fan speed for his
requirements at minimum noise.
3. Maintenance.
Regular maintenance and cleaning of the device will guarantee its good and fault-less
operation, and extend its life. Attention should be paid to replacing grease and carbon filters
according to instructions.
3.1 Grease filter
a) replacement
The grease filter should be replaced at least every two
months during normal operation of the hood. The filter
can be dismantled by releasing its securing studs (Fig. 5),
keeping in mind that the filter has to be protected with
your hand during releasing the studs, removing catches D
which secure the filters (Fig. 6), then you can replace the
filter and reinstall the catches and the mesh.

3.2 Carbon filter
a) operation
Carbon filters (C Fig. 6) can absorb odours
until they are saturated. They cannot be
washed or regenerated and should be
replaced at least every 2 months or more
frequently in case of very intensive use.
b) replacement
- remove masking cover A (Fig. 6) together
with grease filter B,
- replace carbon filter C situated on the
textile filter B,
Fig. 6
- install the grease filter with the carbon filter in the hood.
3.3 Lighting
The lighting system consists of 40 W power light bulb.
To replace a light bulb proceed as follows:
a) remove the masking cover A from the hood body (see section 3.1 a)
b) replace the bulb using a piece of cloth or paper for that purpose,
c) install the masking cover A.
3.4 Cleaning
When cleaning your hood never use:
- solvents or alcohols which might dull lacquered surfaces
- caustic or abrasive substances, particularly for cleaning stainless steel surfaces
It is recommended to us moist cloth and liquid neutral cleaning agents.
