2. Connecting to the mains electricity and checking the function.
After connecting to the mains electricity supply, (in line with the instructions above) check
that the motor and lighting of the hood are functioning correctly.
3. Setting the cooker hood’s operating mode
3.1 Setting the hood in extraction mode
When the hood is operating in extraction mode, the air is removed outside using a
special pipe. When on this setting, any carbon filters should be removed. The hood should be
connected to the opening leading the air outside (fig. 1 pt. C) using a stiff or flexible pipe 120
mm in diameter, which should be purchased from a supplier of installation materials.
Connection should be entrusted to a professional fitter.
3.2 Setting the hood in odour absorption mode
When using this option, the filtered air returns inside through openings in the front of
the hood (fig.1 pt. F). For this setting, an additional carbon filter should be installed (fig. 6 –
see below). In addition, the mode-change switch should be positioned downwards, so that the
cleansed air is passed back onto the cooker. This switch is found on the side of the front part
of the motor body (inside the hood).
1. Safe Operation.
Follow the safety instructions given in part IV. Cloth grease filters and carbon filters (used
in absorption mode only) should be replaced, and aluminium filters cleaned as recommended
by the manufacturer or more frequently in the case of intense use (over 4 hours per day). If a
gas cooker is being used, naked flames should not be left uncovered. When removing a pan
from the gas, the flame should be turned down to a minimum. Always ensure the flame is
fully contained under the pan being heated to avoid wasting energy and allowing dangerous
concentrations of heat. Do not use the cooker hood for purposes other than those for which it
is intended.
