2 - USE
A microswitch S activated by movement of the front panel turns the lighting system on and off and activates switching on and off of the motor at the pre-selected speed. Control panel (3 switches) (fig. 9) SWITCH L = controls the worktop illumination SWITCH M = switches the motor on or off SWITCH V = controls the fan speed Control panel (2 switches) (fig. 10) SWITCH L = ontrols the worktop illumination SWITCH M = controls the power to the motor and the fan speed Working speeds: Position 1 = low speed, should be selected when simmering or using only one pan: the noise level is kept to the minimum. Position 2 = medium speed, should be selected for normal cooking. This speed offers the best ratio between air capacity and noise level. Position 3 = top speed, should be selected when frying or cooking food with strong odours, even for a long period.
3 - MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance and cleaning will ensure good performance and reliability, while extending the working life of the hood. Special attentions should be paid to the grease filters and to the charcoal filters when the hood is used in the recirculation mode. 3.1 - Metal grease filters 1 - Cleaning The metal grease filters should be cleaned every two months with normal usage and can be cleaned in a dishwasher or by hand using a mild detergent or liquid soap. 2 - Removal a - Open the metal grille pushing the knobs towards the centre while pulling downwards (fig. 5). b - Remove the wire clips and remove the filters (fig. 11). 3.2 - Synthetic fibre filter 1 - This type of filter is printed with red dots. When the filter becomes saturated the red colour of the dots will spread over the whole surface of the filter. At this point the filter has to be replaced. The saturated filter cannot be cleaned or regenerated. 2 - Replacement a - Open the metal grille pushing the knobs towards the centre while pulling downwards (fig. 5). b - Remove the wire clips and replace the synthetic fibre filter (fig. 11). c - Close the metal grille. 3.3 - Charcoal filters 1 - Functioning In the recycling mode the charcoal filters absorb smells and odours. The charcoal filter cannot be washed or regenerated and should be replaced every 2 months or more frequently if the hood is used consistently. 2 - Replacement a - Open the metal grille pushing the knobs towards the centre while pulling downwards (fig. 5). b - Replace the charcoal filters by unscrewing the fixing knobs (fig. 12). c - Close the metal grille. ATTENTION - There could be a possible fire hazard if the filters are not replaced according to these instructions.
