THE ABOVE WARNINGS.
Once the overall dimensions of the cooker hood have
been checked, the company recommends you ask two
people to help when fixing it to the wall.
Prepare the corner fitted cooker hood and adjust it to the
desired height (Fig. 7).
Use a pencil to mark the holes at the side, which will be
used to fix the appliance to the walls (Fig. 6). Make the
holes and fix the cooker hood to the wall using screws A
(Fig. 8). Fix it securely using the safety screws B (Fig. 6).
Connect flange D to the air exhaust hole using a flexible
hose (Fig. 7).
To transform the hood from a ducting version into a
filtering version, ask your dealer for the charcoal filters
and follow the installation instructions.
USE AND MAINTENANCE
• It is recommended to operate the appliance prior to
cooking.
It is recommended to leave the appliance in operation for
15 minutes after cooking is terminated in order to com-
pletely eliminate cooking vapours and odours.
The proper function of the cooker hood is conditioned by
the regularity of the maintenance operations, in particu-
lar, the active carbon filter.
• The anti-grease filters capture the grease particles
suspended in the air, and are therefore subject to clog-
ging according to the frequency of the use of the appli-
ance.
In order to prevent fire hazard, it is recommendable to
clean the filter at a maximum of 2 months by carrying out
the following instructions:
- Remove the filters from the cooker hood and wash them
in a solution of water and neutral liquid detergent, leaving
to soak.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water and leave to dry.
- The filters may also be washed in the dishwasher.
