Use of the cooker hood ● This appliance is for domestic use only in a normal household. ● Never leave any deep-frying, melting fat, paraffin or any other ● ● inflammable liquid unattended on the hob. In the event of fire: Immediately switch off the cooker hood and the cooker. Note! Cover the fire. Never use water. Never do any flambé cooking underneath the cooker hood. It can cause a fire. Remember that overheated fat may spontaneously ignite. Never leave the frying pan unattended.
Using the cooker hood The control panel Best results are obtained by using a low speed for normal conditions and high speed when odours are more concentrated. The control panel has two switches; one for the lamp and one for the fan, enabling you to select one of three speeds. (Fig. 2). 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. Fig.
Maintenance and cleaning Before doing any maintenance work on the hood, disconnect it from the main supply by disconnecting the plug from the wall socket or unscrewing the fuse. Cleaning the hood Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products. Cleaning the grease filters Clean the filter every month or every other month according to how much the hood is used. The cleaner the filters, the more grease they collect.
After approximately three years of use, the KF8 filter should be replaced with a new, as the odour reduction capacity will be reduced. To remove the filter (Fig. 4): ● Remove the grease filters. ● Press the red buttons (A), lower the front of the carbon filter. ● Remove the carbon filter. ● Replace in reverse order. Fig. 4 Clean the filters regularly. The grease that collects in the filters and the duct could ignite if a hot plate is left on (or if overheating occurs).
