[. . . ] 2. 7 - Never leave frying pans unattended during use as overheated fats and oils may catch fire. 2. 8 - Before carring out any kind of maintenance or cleaning, disconnect the hood from the mains supply. 2. 9 - If the room where the cooker hood is to be used contains a fuel burning appliance such as a central heating boiler then this must be of the room sealed or balanced flue type. [. . . ] If other types of flue or appliance are fitted ensure that there is an adequate supply of air into the room. When the cooker hood is used in conjunction with other appliances supplied with energy other than electric, 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. 3 - INSTALLATION This device belongs to the category of semi-fitted hoods. The bottom carriage, which can be extracted, remains outside the overhead unit when assembled, and must be pulled out into the working position. This hood can be installed in two different ways. 3. 1 - Installation using screws (without quick-connection clips) To fix the top part of the hood to the inside of the overhead unit, the base of the unit must be at a distance of 13 cm from the lower edge. 3 If the base is pre-drilled and suitable to take the hood, it will be sufficient to screw the hood onto it using the four 4. 2 x 44. 5 mm screws provided. If the base is not pre-drilled the hood must be correctly positioned and screwed into place from the inside outward, using 3. 5 x 16 mm screws. 3. 2 - Installation using quick-connection clips On request, and upon payment of an additional charge, the hood can be supplied complete with a spring-clip quick-connection system equipped with squares, fitted to the top of the hood body. If the hood is fitted with this system, a normal overhead unit with its base in the usual position can be used. Installation is performed as follows: measure the base of the overhead unit carefully to mark the opening required. 3 - Once the electrical connection has been completed, check that the worktop illumination, motor and speeds work properly. When opening the sliding carriage for the first time after installing the hood, pull the carriage quite hard until it reaches the end of the guide. Part 2 - OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS 1 - OPERATION The controls are located in a concealed control panel in the top of the extractable carriage, and are visible in the working position (carriage open). The hood functions are worked by three sliding controls: L button = turns the lighting system on and off M button= turns the motor on and off V button = 1 : minimum speed 2 : medium speed 3 : maximum speed Also, two microswitches work as main power switches with memory, and are turned on and off by opening and closing of the carriage, activating the lighting system and motor. 2 - MAINTENANCE Regular maintenance and cleaning will ensure good performance and reliability, while extending the working life of the hood. Special attention should be paid to the grease filters and to the activated charcoal filters when the hood is used in the recirculation mode. 2. 1 - Metal grease filters. 1 - Cleaning This filter should be cleaned at the most every two months, using a normal household detergent; its reduced size means that it can also be put into the dishwasher. 2 - Removing the filter Open the sliding carriage, then push the side handles on the filter towards the centre, at the same time pulling downward. Replace the filter taking care that the handle is pointing towards the front of the hood. 2. 2 - Synthetic grease filter 1 - This cannot be washed, but must be replaced on average every two months. If the filter has chemical saturation indicators, replace when the red colour in the dots has spread to the whole surface of the filter. 2 - Replacement: a - Open the ducting grille panel b - Press the fastener clips towards the centre, simultaneously pulling downwards. [. . . ] 2 - Replacement: a - Open the ducting grille panel b - Press the fastener clips towards the centre, simultaneously pulling downwards. 5 c - Remove the wire filter holder and replace the grease filter d - Replace the ducting grille panel. CAUTION: always comply with the cleaning and maintenance times given above, to prevent any risk of fire due to filters that are saturated with grease. 2. 3 - Activated charcoal filter 1 - Function The activated charcoal filters absorb smells and odours until they reach saturation point.
