[. . . ] Failure to do so could cause grease deposits to build up, resulting in a fire hazard. For the installer When used as an extractor unit, the hood must be fitted with a 150mm diameter hose. Should there already be a pipe of diameter 125 mm that ducts to the outside through the walls or roof, it is possible to use the 150/ 125 mm reduction flange provided. In this case the hood will be slightly noisier. When installing the hood, make sure you respect the following minimum distance from the top edge of the cooking hob/ring surfaces: electric cookers 300 mm The national Standard on fuel-burning systems specifies a maximum depression of 0. 04 mbar in such rooms. [. . . ] Ensure that the indicator light is checked each time the hood is used. Led signal for charcoal filter The LED signal flickers (flickering orange light) when the charcoal filter requires cleaning, occurs at about 160 operating hours. Ensure that the indicator light is checked each time the hood is used. Re-setting the saturation signal After cleaning or replacing the filter, select the intensive speed (the control ball lights up with a red flashing light), depress again and hold depressed for about 3 seconds until an audible signal indicates the reset has taken place. 7 Maintenance and care The hood must always be disconnected from the electricity supply before beginning any maintenance work. Cleaning the hood Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products. Never insert pointed objects in the motors protective grid. Wash the outside surfaces using a delicate detergent solution. Never use caustic detergents or abrasive brushes or powders. Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grille using a damp cloth and delicate detergents. It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the filters at the recommended intervals. Failure to do so will cause grease deposits to build up that could constitute a fire hazard. Metal grease filter The purpose of the grease filters is to absorb grease particles which form during cooking and it must always be used, either in the external extraction or internal recycling function. Attention: the metal grease filters must be removed and washed, either by hand or in the dishwasher, every four weeks. To access the grease filter, first remove the front panels Extract which conceal the grease filter. Removing the front panels: Extract the small panel, rotate upwards and unhook. Repeat the operation for all the small panels. 4 8 Removing the metal grease filter Handle Pull the handle downards, then extract the filter. Fig. 5. Hand washing Soak grease filter(s) for about one hour in hot water with a Fig. 5 grease-loosening cleaner, then rinse off thoroughly with hot water. Refit the grease filters when they are dry. Dishwasher Place grease filters in the dishwasher. Select most powerful washing programme and highest temperature, at least 65°C. Refit the grease filters when they are dry. When washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher a slight discolouration of the filter can occur, this does not have any impact on its performance. Clean the inner housing using a hot detergent solution only (never use caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes). After having re-installed the grease filter, remount the front panels following the instructions for removal in reverse. [. . . ] In the case that it is decided to use the cooker hood in the extraction version, then fix one of the two flanges provided in the exit hole (13 extraction). The tall flange should be used when a telescopic chimney is required to be mounted (this item should be ordered see special accessories), the short flange is to be used in all other cases. Remount the grease filter and the front panels noting the numbering on the back of each screen (from 1 to 4, top to bottom). Connect the hood to the mains supply and check the functions are working correctly. [. . . ]
