Installation (Setup)
Installation should be performed by a qualified technician in accordance with all local and national regulations.
- Mounting: The hood is designed for wall mounting. Ensure the wall structure is strong enough to support the appliance's weight.
- Ducting (Ducted Mode): Connect the hood's outlet to an external ducting system. Ensure the ducting is of appropriate diameter and material to maintain optimal airflow. Avoid sharp bends.
- Recirculation (Recirculation Mode): If operating in recirculation mode, install the optional charcoal filters (SET 2/A 1/C 1/C, sold separately) and ensure the air outlet is directed back into the kitchen through the provided vents.
- Electrical Connection: Connect the appliance to a suitable power supply. Verify the voltage and frequency match the specifications on the rating plate.
- Minimum Distance: Maintain the minimum safe distance between the cooking surface and the lower part of the hood as specified in local regulations and the installation template.
Operation
The cooker hood is operated via electronic backlit controls located on the front panel.
- Power On/Off: Press the power button to turn the hood on or off.
- Speed Selection: Use the speed buttons (1, 2, 3) to select the desired extraction level. An indicator light will show the currently selected speed.
- Intensive Speed: Press the intensive speed button for maximum extraction power. This mode typically operates for a set period (e.g., 5-10 minutes) before automatically reverting to the previous speed setting.
- Light Control: Press the light button to turn the halogen lamps on or off.
- Aspiration Time Programmer: This function allows you to set a specific duration for the hood to operate before automatically switching off. Refer to the detailed instructions in the full manual for programming steps.
For optimal performance, switch on the hood a few minutes before cooking and leave it running for approximately 10-15 minutes after cooking to clear residual fumes.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficiency of your cooker hood.
Cleaning the Metal Grease Filters:
- Frequency: Clean the metal grease filters approximately every 2-4 weeks, depending on usage.
- Removal: Disconnect the power supply. Carefully unlatch and remove the metal filters from the hood.
- Cleaning: Wash the filters by hand in hot soapy water or in a dishwasher (ensure they are placed to avoid damage). Do not use abrasive detergents.
- Reinstallation: Ensure filters are completely dry before reinserting them into the hood.
Replacing Charcoal Filters (Recirculation Mode Only):
- Frequency: Charcoal filters cannot be washed and must be replaced every 3-6 months, depending on usage.
- Procedure: Disconnect power. Remove the metal grease filters. Follow the specific instructions for your model to detach and replace the charcoal filters.
Cleaning the Exterior:
Wipe the stainless steel exterior with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads.
Replacing Halogen Lamps:
- Procedure: Disconnect power. Allow lamps to cool. Carefully remove the lamp cover (if applicable) and replace the faulty halogen lamp with a new one of the same type and wattage (20W).
