[. . . ] The cooker hood cannot be connected to flues of other appliances that run on energy sources other than electricity. Please, keep to the provisions of official directives regarding the question of fumes discharge. Use the carbon filter. When you use the carbon filter, the air is purified within the cooker hood and recirculated back into the room, so heated air is not lost. It can be a good idea to use the carbon filter in winter and normal air extraction to a duct in summer. Using the cooker hood The control panel The control panel is on the front of the hood. Best results are obtained by using low speed for normal conditions and high speed when smells and steam are more concentrated. The intensive speed will last for about 5 minutes, the time can vary a little and it can not be changed. The intensive speed function can be turned off before 5 minutes by pressing the intensive speed switch once again. If the hood was on before the intensive speed was started it will automatically return to the previous speed after five minutes or when you turn off the intensive speed. If the hood was off before the intensive speed was turned on, it will automatically stop. Use the intensive speed function to expel the last of the cooking smells. Turn the hood on a few minutes before you start cooking then you will get an underpressure in the kitchen. It should be left on after cooking for about 15 minutes or until all steam and smells have disappeared. Do not operate the fan at a higher speed than necessary. The low speeds are adequate for ordinary requirements while cooking. The high speeds should be used only if food has burnt while cooking, or for other strong fumes. Correct ventilation If the cooker hood should be working correctly there must be an underpressure in the kitchen. It is important to keep the kitchen windows closed and have a window in an adjacent room open. Important to know Great care must be taken if the hood is used at the same time as a burner or fireplace (e. g. gas, diesel, coal or wood heaters, water heaters, etc. ), as the hood will expel air which is required by these other appliances. Not applicable for cooker hoods used in recirculation mode. Maintenance and cleaning Before doing any maintenance work on the hood, disconnect it from the main supply by disconnecting the plug from the wall socket or unscrewing the fuse. The grease that collects in the filter and the duct could ignite if a hot plate is left on (or if overheating occurs). Cleaning the grease filters Clean the filter every month or every other month according to how much the hood is used. The cleaner the filters, the better it collects grease. 1): Grab hold of the handle and push the filter backward. Pull the filter down at the front and remove it forward.
