Using the hood
It is advisable to switch on the cooker hood a few minutes before starting cooking and then to leave it running fot approximately 15 minutes afterwards to ensure that all odours are extracted.
On the front of the appliance there are control switches (see page 3).
The switch marked with motor symbol controls fan power.

—The hood must not be connected to fuel exhaust flues (boilers, heating systems, water heaters, etc.).
—The manufacturers do not accept liability for damage to the hood or its catching fire because of failure to observe the above instructions.
Where flexible ducting is fitted 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 air flow.
