Using the cooker hood
• The hood is fitted with one motor having several
speed. Best results are obtained by using a low
speed for normal conditions and high speed
when odours are more concentrated. 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 odours have
disappeared.
The control switches are located on the unit's
front panel:
Correct ventilation
If the cooker hood is to work 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
Not applicable for recirculation. 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
Maintenance and cleaning
Disconnect the cooker hood from the power supply prior to cleaning the appliance, either by removing the
plug from the mains or removing the fuse.
Clean the filter regularly. The grease deposits in the filter and discharge tube are fire hazards where a
hotplate (or another heat source) is left on by error.
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.
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 more grease they
collect. To remove the filters, Fig. 3:
• First of all, push the stop on the metal grease
filter back, and then extract the filter by pulling
downward.
The filter is made of aluminium wires on which the
grease collects. Clean the filter in hot water using a
detergent, or in a dishwasher. Let the filter dry
before putting it back. Note that a dishwasher may
discolour the filter.

heaters, water heaters, etc.), as the hood will expel
air which is required by these other appliances.
Attend to it by opening a window. The negative
pressure in the room must not exceed 0,04 mbar to
prevent fumes being drawn back into the room by
the cooker hood.
