Part 2 - USE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1 - SAFETY WARNINGS
It is most important that all the warnings shown in paragraph 3 of the Installation
Instructions are strictly observed. Moreover, pay special attention to the following
warnings during the use and maintenance of the cooker hood:
1.1 - The grease filters and the charcoal filter should be cleaned or replaced as
recommended by the manufacturer or more frequently if the hood is used
consistently over 4 hours per day.
1.2- When using a gas hob in connection with the cooker hood never leave the burners
of the hob uncovered while the hood is in use or when the pans have been
removed. Switch off the gas before removing the pan, or for just short periods and
never leave the hob unattended.
1.3 - 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.
1.4 - Always ensure that the appliance is used in accordance with the manufacturers
instructions for the removal of contaminated air and odours during cooking.
2 - OPERATION
Control Panel (fig. 10)
Controls are as follows:
SWITCH L = Controls the worktop illumination
SWITCH M = Controls the power to the motor
SWITCH V = Controls the fan speed:
Position 1 = low speed, should be selected when simmering or using only one
pan; the noise level is kept to the minimum.
Position 2 = medium speed, should be selected for normal cooking. This speed
offers the best ratio between air capacity and noise level.
Position 3 = top speed, should be selected when frying or cooking food with
strong odours, even for a long period.
3 - MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance and cleaning will ensure good performance and reliability,
while extending the working life of the hood. Special attention should be paid to
the grease filters and to the charcoal filters when the hood is used in the
recirculation mode.
3.1 - Metal grease filters
1 - Cleaning
These should be washed with normal home detergents at least every 2 months;
their compact dimensions also allows washing in a dishwasher.
