Using the cooker hood
The control panel
•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:
A:Main switch, hood on/off.
B:Start and choice of motor speed
C:Indicates speed 1 (LED).
D:Indicates speed 2 (LED).
E:Indicates speed 3 (LED).
F:Indicates Intensive speed (LED).
G:Intensive speed on/off. The Intensive speed runs for 5 minutes:
-If the hood is on when the Intensive speed is activated, the hood revert to previous speed after 5 minutes.
-If the hood is off when the Intensive speed is activated, the hood
will automaticly be turned off after 5 minutes.
To interrupt the Intensive speed, press button A or B.
H:Light on/off.
Should the hood or the controls fail to operate: disconnect the power supply for at least 5 seconds, then turn the hood back on again.
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 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.
