Functional description
The hood offers two modes of
operation:
Air extraction
Recirculation mode
The air is drawn in and cleaned by the
grease filters and directed outside.
Air is drawn through the grease filters
and an active charcoal filter. The
filtered air is then recirculated back into
the kitchen through a vent at the top of
the hood’s chimney.
The hood comes equipped with a
non-return flap. This flap automatically
closes when the hood is turned off so
that no exchange of outside air and
room air can occur. When the hood is
turned on, the air pressure of the
exhaust fan automatically opens the
flap blowing the inside air and cooking
odors outside.
The recirculation mode requires an
install kit and charcoal filter which are
optional accessories.
Before using the hood in
recirculation mode, ensure that the
active charcoal filter is in place, see
"Cleaning and care".

Cleaning and Care
,WARNING
Avoid:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
– cleaning agents containing soda,
acids or chlorides,
– abrasive cleaning agents
e.g. powder or cream cleansers,
– abrasive sponges, e.g. pot scourers
or sponges which have been
previously used with abrasive
cleaning agents,
Before cleaning or servicing the
hood, disconnect it from the power
supply, see "Important Safety
Instructions".
– limescale removers.
Cleaning the casing
These will damage the surface.
Never use abrasive cleaners,
scouring pads, steel wool or caustic
(oven) cleaners on the hood. They
will damage the surface.
The following instructions for cleaning
"Stainless steel" surfaces and "Stainless
steel colored controls" should be
followed in addition to the general
"Cleaning the casing" instructions.
^ All external surfaces and controls can
be cleaned with a mild solution of
warm water and liquid dish soap
applied with a soft sponge.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned
using a non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner.
^ Wipe dry using a soft cloth.
To help prevent resoiling, a conditioner
for stainless steel can be applied.

Do not use a stainless steel cleaner
on these controls.
17
Cleaning and Care
Grease filters
^ In a dishwasher: place the filters
vertically in the lower basket, making
sure that the spray arm is not
blocked.
The reusable metal grease filters
remove solid particles from the vented
kitchen air (grease, dust, etc).
Use a hot temperature program, e.g.
"Heavy Soil" or "Pots and pans".
Use the recommended amount of
dishwasher detergent. Overuse could
destroy the filter.
The grease filters should be cleaned
every 3 - 4 weeks, when the grease
filter indicator lights, or when they are
visibly dirty, whichever comes first.
Depending on the detergent,
cleaning the grease filters in a
dishwasher may cause permanent
discoloration of the filter surface.
Performance of the filter will not be
affected by this discoloration.
,A dirty filter is a fire hazard.
^ After cleaning, the filters can be
placed on a towel to air dry.
^ While the filters are removed, clean
any dirt or grease from the filter
casing to prevent the risk of fire.
When putting the grease filters back
make sure that the locking clips are
visibly facing the cooking surface.
If the filters are incorrectly installed,
insert a small screwdriver into the slit
along its edge to disengage it from the
casing.
^ To remove the grease filters pull the

Air extraction
Exhaust ducting and connections
,WARNING
– The ducting should be as short and
straight as possible, and the number
of sharp bends should be minimized.
Danger of toxic fumes.
Gas cooking appliances release
carbon monoxide that can be
harmful or fatal if inhaled.
To reduce the risk of fire and to
properly exhaust air, the exhaust
gases extracted by the hood
should be vented outside of the
building only.
– For most efficient air extraction, the
diameter of the ductwork should not
be less than 6" (150 mm). Use of flat
ducts also reduces the air extraction
efficiency.
– Noise levels of the hood will increase
if flat ducts or round ducts of less
than 6" (150 mm) in diameter are
used.
Do not vent exhaust air into
– Use smooth or flexible pipes made
from approved non-flammable
materials for exhaust ducting.
spaces within walls or ceilings or
in attics, crawl spaces or garages.
To reduce the risk of fire, only use
metal ductwork.
– Where the ductwork is horizontal, it
must slope away from the hood at
least 1/8" per foot (1 cm per meter) to
prevent condensation dripping into
the appliance.
Please read and follow the
"IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS" to reduce the risk of
personal injury. Follow all local building
codes when installing the hood.
– If the exhaust is ducted through an
outside wall, a Telescopic Wall Vent
can be used.

Air extraction
Condensate trap
optional accessory
– If the exhaust is ducted into an
inactive flue, the air must be expelled
parallel to the flow direction of the
flue.
In some cases, a condensate trap may
also be required to collect and
evaporate any condensate which may
occur. This optional accessory is
available for ducts 5" (125 mm) and 6"
(150 mm) in diameter.
Never connect an exhaust hood to
an active chimney, dryer vent, flue,
or room venting ductwork. Seek
professional advice before
connecting an exhaust hood vent to
an existing, inactive chimney or vent
flue.
^ When installing a condensate trap,
ensure that it is positioned vertically
and if possible directly above the
exhaust outlet.
Important
If the ductwork runs through rooms,
ceilings, garages, etc. where
temperature variations exist, it may
need to be insulated to reduce
condensation.
