DESCRIBING THE COOKER HOOD This cooker hood features a through flow retractable visor which allows the hood to be installed inside a wall cabinet with the minimum loss of space while offering a large collection area for contaminated air once extended into its working position. The controls are located in a concealed control box which can be opened during use; the opening of the visor can be used to switch the appliance on when the controls have been pre-set.
RECIRCULATION MODE using charcoal filters to purify the contaminated air. EVACUATION MODE Using ducting to extract the contaminated air to the atmosphere. The grease filters are fitted to absorb grease and dust during cooking. The hood can be supplied with metal or paper filters. The paper filters have saturation indicators and should be located on the internal side of the grille with the spots facing outwards. Worktop illumination consists of a fluorescent strip light or of two lamps.
IDENTIFICATION OF THE APPLIANCE The rating plate is situated inside the casing. It gives the model number and serial number which should be quoted in any communication or if After Sales Service is required.
PRODUCT This cooker hood has been designed for the purification of contaminated air and to remove odours in the kitchen. ATTENTION: This cooker hood must not be used for the purification of air which could contain harmful gases or poisons or other substances not to be found during normal cooking.
SAFETY WARNINGS ATTENTION: Before carrying out any kind of maintenance or cleaning disconnect the hood from the mains supply and unplug the cooker hood. Connect the hood to the mains supply via a double pole switch which has 3mm minimum clearance between the contacts.
Before connecting this appliance to the mains supply, ensure that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate inside the hood. This appliance must be earthed. ATTENTION: Only use earthed plugs or sockets. ATTENTION: Do not use any adapters or extensions.
When used in the extraction mode the cooker hood ducting must not be connected to a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances supplied with energy other than electric such as a central heating flue or water heating flue. When installed, the hood must be positioned at least 65cm above a cooking appliance. Never do flambè cooking under this cooker hood.
Never leave frying pans unattended during use as overheated fat and oil may catch fire. If the room where the cooker hood is to be used contains a fuel burning appliance such as a central heating boiler then this must be of the room sealed or balanced flue type. If other types of flue or appliance are fitted ensure that there is an adequate supply of air to the room. The cooker hood in fact could extract the air which is needed for burning.
Always ensure that the flame is kept at the correct intensity to prevent the flame from licking round from the bottom of the pan; this will save energy and will avoid a dangerous concentration of heat. ATTENTION: There could be a possible fire hazard if the grease filters are not cleaned or replaced when necessary and according to these instructions.
ATTENTION: Please read the instruction booklet carefully before installing or using this appliance. ATTENTION: Do not insert hands or any other object into the air outlet. Do not use wet clothes or sponges to clean the surfaces of the cooker hood.
Should your cooker hood fail to function at anytime repairs should be carried out by a qualified electrician or a competent person. When carrying out any kind of maintenance or in the event that your cooker hood stops functioning, switch off the mains supply and disconnect the plug from the socket. This appliance should be serviced by an authorized Service Centre, and only genuine spare parts should be used. Not following this warning could affect the safety of your cooker hood.

SETTING UP AND INSTALLATION Before unpacking the cooker hood position the carton with arrows pointing upwards as illustrated. Remove the cooker hood and polystyrene side protection complete from the carton. Insert the ducting spigot into the aperture on the top of the cooker hood casing. Position the cooker hood upside-down, and ensuring the hood is supported correctly open the visor and remove the two metal grease filters or paper grease filter grilles.
The cooker hood in 90 cm is provided with 4 grease filters which should be removed using the same method as for the 60 cm model. Cut a rectangular hole into the underside of the cabinet in accordance with the table below. MOD. 55 60 90 90 * * A 453 503 803 503 B 162 162 162 162 A B Special execution: cooker hood 90 cm with casing in 60 cm. Cut a round hole in the upper side of the cabinet aligning it with the air outlet of the cooker hood.
Insert the upper casing of the hood through the hole from the underside of the cabinet. If you wish to replace the factory fitted front strip with a personnalized strip remove the three screws. Remove the front strip. Drill the new front strip taking care to align it correctly.
Fix the new front strip with the screws provided. Fasten the screws of the butterfly quick fixing system. If necessary adjust the lower assembly horizontally by loosening the four screws and closing the visor.
Move the lower assembly as necessary to align the front with the cabinet door. Hold the hood body steady, open the visor and tighten the fixing screws. Fix the controls support to the underside of the cabinet using a provided screw. Now it is possible to install the cabinet to the wall.
The cooker hood can be installed in two different ways: RECIRCULATION FITTING: using cleansing charcoal filters to purify the contaminated air from cooking and to recirculate it back into the kitchen. DUCTING FITTING: (without cleansing charcoal filter) to pass contaminated air out through ducting to the atmosphere. RECIRCULATION FITTING: If the cooker hood is to be installed in the recirculation mode then charcoal filters must be provided.
Connect a suitable length of ducting to the air outlet on the top of the cooker hood inside the cabinet. The ducting should be long enough to project through the hole in the top of the cabinet. Fit the recirculation grille over the ducting and screw the grille to the top of the cabinet using the screws provided. Ensure that the blades in the grille are angled forwards as illustrated. Recycling installation is now completed.
To remove the charcoal filters press on the two charcoal filter catches and remove the filters as illustrated. Replace the metal grease filters or grease filter grilles. It is now possible to install the ducting. Care should be taken when selecting the ducting to ensure it is manufactured from a fire retardant material to National Standards. Attention should be taken when installing the ducting to choose the shortest possible run with the minimum number of bends.
