Description of the Appliance

• The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours from the kitchen, it will not extract steam.
• The cooker hood is supplied ready for use as a recirculation hood and may be used for extraction by removing the charcoal filter which has been fitted inside the cooker hood.

Extraction mode

• In this mode fumes are extracted to the outside via a hose connected to the coupling ring.
  Note: The coupling ring may be placed on the top or on the rear exhaust according to the needs.
• In order to obtain the best performance the hose should have a diameter equal to the outlet hole.

Recirculation mode

• The air is filtered through a charcoal filter and returned to the kitchen.

Control Panel

• Best results are obtained by using allow speed for normal conditions and a high speed when odours are more concentrated.
  Turn the hood on a few minutes before you start cooking. The hood should be left on after cooking for about 15 minutes or until all the odours have disappeared. The control switches are located on the unit's front panel:
  • the light switch switches the hood lamp on and off
  • the motor switch switches the motor on and off, enabling you to select one of the three different speeds.

The hood is also equipped with a micro-switch which can be found under the lower runner of the visor on the right hand side.
With this micro-switch, the appliance may be automatically switched on and off by opening and closing the pull-out panel, but only if the fan speed has already been set and the light switch is turned to "I".

Maintenance and Care

Attention! Before performing any maintenance operation, isolate the hood from the electrical supply by switching off at the connector and removing the connector fuse. Or if the appliance has been connected through a plug and socket, then the plug must be removed from the socket.

• The purpose of the grease filters is to absorb grease particles which form during cooking and it must always be used, either in the external extraction or internal re-circulation function.
• The synthetic filter is very thin (approx. 1 mm) and positioned on the inside of its related support grill. The filter should be changed once a month.
  The grill should be cleaned with like warm water and non-abrasive detergent when you change the filter. The grease filter can be ordered from your local Service Force Centre.

Electrical connection
Safety warnings for the electrician The mains power supply must correspond to the rating indicated on the plate situated inside the hood. If provided with a plug connect the hood to a socket in compliance with current regulations and positioned in an accessible area. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not located in an accessible area apply a bi-polar switch in accordance with standards which assures the complete disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to over-current category III, in accordance with installation instructions.

Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains supply and checking the efficient function, always check that the mains cable is correctly assembled.

Make sure that the cooker hood is disconnected from the power supply before carrying out the installation.

Before beginning installation

• Remove and keep the extraction grill or the metal grease filter. Note: This is to be inserted once installation is completed.
• Remove and keep the charcoal filter/s(see also relative paragraph). Note: This/these is/are to be mounted only if you want to use the hood in the recirculation mode.
• In addition, check whether an electric connection to the mains is available near the installation area of the hood (and also in all accessible areas with the hood mounted), and if it is possible to connect a fumes discharge device to the outside.
  (Extraction mode only).
• Choose the exhaust hole to use: Only recirculation mode: use ONLY the top exhaust hole.
  Once the installation is completed, check that this is not obstructed and that there is sufficient space so that the purified fumes and steam can return easily into the kitchen. Press with decision to take away the prefractured part (Top or Rear) that closes the exhaust hole and remove it.
  Install the connection ring on the open discharge outlet (bayonet attachment - (Extraction mode only) or the deflector. (recirculation mode only).
• Check that the side wall units between which to install the hood are sufficiently heavy for installing the hood.
  Otherwise mount the brackets to use as additional supports:
