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 switch marked with lamp symbol controls the lighting of the
cooking surface.
The hood is also fitted with an automatic micro switch located on
the right hand side behind the visor, the micro switch will switch
the hood OFF, whatever selection is made with the slider switches
when the visor is closed. When the visor is pulled open the hood
will switch ON at its previous setting.
— If the hood is run at the same time as an ambient-air dependent
burner or fireplace (for example gas, diesel, coal or wood
heaters, water heaters, etc.) be careful, because the hood,
when it extracts air, removes the ambient air the burners of
fireplace need for combustion.
For safe operation and to prevent discharged gas from coming
back into the room, make sure there is an air inlet, which may be
provided through air-recycling doors, windows or wall boxes or
by other technical devices.
— No food must be cooked flambé underneath the hood. The
use of an unprotected flame is dangerous for the filters and
could cause a fire. Therefore never use an open flame under
the hood. When frying foods, never leave the pan unattended,
the cooking oil could ignite. If contaminated oil is used,
spontaneaous ignition may occur even more readily.
— 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.
