Operation

• It is strongly recommended always to be in
attendance when frying under the hood.
• Food must not be flambeed under the hood
because of fire risk.
• For optimal evacuation of cooking smells, it is
recommended that the hood be turned on before
cooking begins. Similarly it is recommended that it
should not be turned off until 10 to 15 minutes after
cooking has finished.
The best performance of the unit is obtained in the
external exhausting version, therefore it is advised,
where possible to use the external exhausting version.
External exhausting version
In this case the fumes are conveyed outside by means
of a special pipe connected with the connection ring
located on top of the hood (Diagram 2).
Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that
of the connection ring = 120mm.
In the horizontal runs the exhausting pipe must be
slightly slanted (about 10°) and directed upwards to
vent the air easily from the room to the outside.
Attention!
If the hood is supplied with active charcoal filter,
then it must be removed.
Operation with recirculated air
Two charcoal filters, available from your local retailer,
should be used. The filters trap the grease and odours
in the air before recirculating it into the room.
These filters normally last about six months. However,
they cannot be cleaned or recycled. Therefore, they
must be replaced when no longer useable.
If the hood is operated in recirculation mode, proceed
as follows:
Mounting and replacing the active charcoal filter:
• Disconnect the hood from the electricity.
• Remove the grease filter(s) (Diagram 1).
• Remove the frame using the “B” buttons (Diagram 1).
• Insert the charcoal filters, turning the knob in the
clockwise direction until it stops (Diagram 3, E).
• Remount the frame, as well as the grease filter(s),
following the same steps as before but in the reverse
order.
• To remove the charcoal filter, simply turn the centre
knob on the filter in the anticlockwise direction, and it
will slide out of its seat (Diagram 3, G).
