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 illuminating the cooking area.

Using them for environmental lighting shall cause unnecessary energy expenditure and insufficient 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 vapour.
• 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, enabling it to ventilate for a bit more and remove the unwanted odours and vapour inside the environment 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 automatic 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 different speed stages. If you want the appliance to stop automatically, you need to enable the automatic 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.
• Remove the aluminum grease filter. To install the carbon filter, fit the filter to the tabs by centring it on the plastic piece on both sides of the fan body. tighten it by turning right or left.
• Replace aluminum grease filter.

• Distance must be measured from the surface of grate for gas cookers,
• from surface of glass for electric cookers.
  

Installation Accessories

The information required to make the location suitable for the installation of the hood is given below.

INSTALLATION OF APPLIANCE

Wall Mounting

• Wall must be flat, straight and have the sufficient 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 water pipes in the close proximity of the drilling locations.

Draw a mid location line from the ceiling perpendicular to the lower edge of the hood ().
Fix the assembly scheme on the wall. For points A and B, take the maximum dimensions of the hood as reference, and drill points A and B you have marked with a Ø6mm drill bit, and tap Ø6mm plastic wall plugs. Install the chimney connection plate to the wall with
2 pieces of 3.9×22 screws (Figure 8).
To install the hood body, drill points C,D,E
specified in the installation template with a Ø10mm drill bit and tap Ø10mm plastic dowels to these points (Figure 8).
Install 2 pieces of 5.5×60 mounting screws to points C and D with a clearance of 5 mm between the screw head and the wall (Figure 8).

Install two pieces of hanging plates to the body of the hood with M5x35 mounting screws (Figure 8).

INSTALLATION OF APPLIANCE

Hold the cooker hood by its body and place it on the mounting screws on the wall and tighten the screws (Figure 9). Secure the cooker hood with a 5.5×60 screw to the wall through the mounting hole on the interior of the appliance (Figure 9).

Connecting to Chimney
If you are going to use the Ø 120/150 mm plastic Chimney 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 Chimney . Check that these two connections are tight enough so they will not come out when the appliance runs on full power. Check if the flaps inside the Chimney operate when they are tightened with clamps. Connect the Chimney connection duct outside the adapter (Figure 11/a). If the connection duct is fitted inside the adapter, suction of air shall not occur as the Chimney flap that prevents the return of air will remain closed (Figure 11 / b). The length of the pipe connection as well as the number of elbows must be as minimum as possible.

A : Chimney exit pipe
B : Non return flaps
C: Plastic flue

The valves are closed then the appliance is not operating and prevent possible outside odour and dust from entering inside.

Installation of the Hood to the Chimney
Make the electrical connection of your hood before starting the installation of the Chimney . Slip the Chimney plates around the body. Install the Chimney plate to the Chimney fastening plate that is secured to the wall from its upper outer edges (Figure 12).
