Since the rule for rooms with fuel burning appliances is outlet hole of the same size as the ventilation hole, a hole of 500-600 cm2, which 44 is to say a larger hole, could reduce the performance of the extractor hood. If the hood is used in its filtering function, it will operate simply and safely in the above conditions without the need for any of the aforementioned measures. The ducting must be fire retardant, 120mm in diameter and the length should be no more than: 3 metres with one 90 degree bend 2 metres with two 90 degree bends Bends of more than 90 degrees will reduce the efficiency of the hood and reduce the airflow. Failure to observe these basic instructions will drastically reduce the performance and increase the noise levels of the extractor hood. 45 Description of the Appliance The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours from the kitchen, it will not extract steam. In some models the charcoal filter is supplied. The hood, therefore, can be used immediately in the recirculation mode. We advise removing the charcoal filter to use the hood in the extraction mode. Extractor version In this version fumes are extracted to the outside via a hose. In order to obtain the best performance the hose should have a diameter equal to the outlet hole. Recirculation Version The air is filtered through a charcoal filter and returned to the kitchen. You will need an original charcoal filter for the recirculation function. (Available from your local Service Force Centre). To do this you will need an original charcoal filter (available from your local Service Force Centre). Replacing the charcoal filter Type 150 This filter cannot be cleaned or reused. As a general rule, the activated charcoal filter should be changed once every 4 months. Cleaning/replacing the charcoal filter Type 150 LONG LIFE Unlike other charcoal filters, the LONGLIFE charcoal filter can be cleaned and reactivated. At normal use the filter should be cleaned every second month (when using the hood 2, 5 hours per day, on avarage). The best way to clean the filter is in the dishwasher. Use normal detergent and choose the highest temperature (65º C). Wash the filter separately so that no food parts gets stuck on the filter and later causes bad odours. To reactivate the charcoal, the filter should be dried in an oven for 10 minutes with a maximum temperature of 100ºC. After approximately three years of use, the charcoal filter should be replaced with a new, as the odour reduction capacity will be reduced. Fitting the charcoal filter: Insert the charcoal filter into the lugs of the frame above using the 2 red lugs E to retain it, press the red lugs inwards, and insert the charcoal filter in the frame. [. . . ] If set up for recirculation, check that the charcoal filter is still effective. If set up for extraction, check that the ducting and outlets are not blocked. The safety cut-out device has been tripped. Turn off the hob and then wait for the device to reset. [. . . ]
