Technical Data

Operation of the appliance

Controlling the Appliance

Energy-efficient usage

• When using your appliance, adjust the speed settings according to vapour and odour intensity, in order to save energy.
• Use low speeds (1-2) under normal conditions, and high speed (3) for intense odour and vapour.
• The lamps on the hood are placed for illuminat-ing the cooking area.
• Using them for environmental lighting shall cause unnecessary energy expenditure and in-sufficient lighting.

Operating the hood

• Your appliance contains a motor that has various speeds.
• For better performance, we recommend using low speeds under normal conditions and high speeds in cases of strong odours and intense vapor.
• You can start your appliance by pressing on the desired speed setting button. (A, B, C).
• You may illuminate the cooking area by pressing the lamp (D).

Automatic stop
Your appliance has Automatic Stop feature, ena-bling it to ventilate for a bit more and remove the unwanted odours and vapour inside the environ-ment and turn off automatically after the cooking is done. To enable Automatic Stop feature, press the any speed stage button (A, B, C) on the control panel for longer than 2 seconds; the 15-minute timer function shall be activated. When the au-tomatic stop feature is active, pressing the same speed button shall disable the automatic stop function and the appliance’s motor shall stop. This feature is disables when you switch between dif-ferent speed stages. If you want the appliance to stop automatically, you need to enable the auto-matic stop feature again.

Operation with chimney connection

• Vapour is extracted through the flue duct, which is fastened to the connection head on the hood.
• The diameter of the flue duct must be the same as the connection ring. In horizontal settings, the pipe has to have a slight upward slope (around 10º) so that the air can exit the room easily.

Operation without chimney connection

• Air is filtered through the carbon filter and recirculated in the room. Carbon filter is used when it is impossible to use a flue in the house.
• In flueless use, remove the flaps inside the flue adapter.

Wall mounting

• Wall must be flat, straight and have the suffi-cient bearing capacity.
• Depth of drilling holes must comply with the length of bolts.
• The bolts and dowels provided are suitable for brick walls. For other construction material (e.g. drywall, plate, porous concrete), suitable fixing dowels and nuts shall be used.

CAUTION: Before drilling, ensure that there are no power, gas or wa-ter pipes in the close proximity of the drilling locations.
Draw a mid location line from the ceiling perpen-dicular to the lower edge of the hood .
Paste the installing template provided within the accessories on the surface where the hood is to be mounted. In doing this operation, observe the mounting height of the hood (Figure 2).
There is a tab in the middle of the flue connection plate. Place the middle point of this tab on the line that is drawn perpendicular to the wall. In doing this operation, adjust the hood according to the maximum height (Figure 2). Mark the holes wherethe flue connection plate will be mounted with the help of a pen (Figure 2/a).
Drill the marked points with Ø6mm drill and insert 2 plastic dowels in the drilled holes (Figure 2/a).
Fix the flue connection plate to the wall with 3,9×22 screws (Figure 2/a).
To assemble the hood body, you can use the A, B, C, D Ø8 mm drill on the assembly template, and insert 4.8x50mm plastic dowels at these points. (Figure 2/b).

Connecting to flue
If you are going to use the Ø 120/150 mm plastic flue adapter, connect one end of the pipe to this adapter, if you are not going to use it, to the direct output on the product. Connect the other end of the pipe to your flue. Check that these two con-nections are tight enough so they will not come out when the appliance runs on full power. Ensure that the flaps inside the flue work when tightened with clamp. Connect the flue connection duct outside the adapter. If the connection duct is fitted inside the adapter, the covers that prevent air return shall remain closed and air won’t be sucked in. The length of the pipe connection as well as the num-ber of elbows must be as minimum as possible.
