• When the hood is used in its extraction mode, the following rules
must be followed to obtain optimal operation:
- short and straight outlet hose
- keep bends in outlet hose to a minimum
- never install the hoses with an acute angle, they must always
follow a gentle curve.
- keep the hose as large as possible (preferably the same diameter
as the outlet hole).
- the length should be no more than:
3 metres with one 90° bend
2 metres with two 90° bends
Bends of more than 90° 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.
Description of the Appliance
• The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours
from the kitchen, it will not extract steam.
• The hood is supplied as an extractor unit and can also be used with
a recirculation mode by fitting a charcoal filter.
• 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.
Extraction mode
• In this mode fumes are extracted to the outside
via a hose connected to the coupling ring A.

• In order to obtain the best performance
the hose should have a diameter equal
to the outlet hole.
• Should there already be a pipe of
diameter 125 or 120 mm that ducts to
the outside through the walls, it is
possible to use the 150/125-120 mm
reduction flange provided. In this case
the hood will be slightly noisier.
