USE AND MAINTENANCE
• We recommend that the cooker hood is switched on before
any food is cooked.
We also recommend that the appliance is left running for
15 minutes after the food is cooked, in order to thoroughly
eliminate all contaminated air.
The eff ective performance of the cooker hood depends on
constant maintenance; the anti-grease fi lter and the active
carbon fi lter both require special attention.
• The anti-grease fi lter is used to trap any grease particles
suspended in the air, therefore is subject to saturation (the
time it takes for the fi lter to become saturated depends on
the way in which the appliance is used).
- To prevent potential fi re hazards, the anti-grease fi lters should
be washed a minimum of every 2 months (it is possible to use
the dishwasher for this task).
- After a few washes, the colour of the fi lters may change. This
does not mean they have to be replaced.
If the replacement and washing instructions are not followed,
the anti-grease fi lters may present a fi re hazard.
• The active carbon fi lters are used to purify the air which is
released back into the room.
The fi lters are not washable or re-usable and must be replaced
at least once every four months.
The active carbon filter saturation level depends on the
frequency with which the appliance is used, the type of cook-
ing performed and the regularity with which the anti-grease
fi lters are cleaned.
• Clean the cooker hood frequently, both inside and outside,
using a cloth which has been dampened with denatured alcohol
or neutral, non-abrasive liquid detergents.
• The light on the cooker hood is designed for use during cook-
ing and not for general room illumination.
Extended use of the light reduces the average duration of
the bulb.
• Replacing halogen light bulbs (Fig. 9).
To replace the halogen light bulbs B, remove the glass pane
C using a lever action on the relevant cracks.
Replace the bulbs with new ones of the same type.
Caution: do not touch the light bulb with bare hands.
• Commands: (Fig.10)
Push-button A = on/off lights switch
Push-button B = on/off cooker hood switch. The appliance
switches on at speed level 1, If the cooker hood is on depress
the push-button for 2 sec. to switch off the cooker hood. If
the cooker hood is at speed level 1 it will not be necessary
to depress the push-button to switch the cooker hood off .
Decreases the motor speed.
Display C = indicates the motor speed level selected and
activates the timer.
Push-button D = switches on the cooker hood. Increases the
motor speed. Touching the key at 3rd speed, the intensive
function runs for 10' , then the appliance go back to work at the
original speed. During this function the display blinks.
Key E = The Timer times the functions on activation for 15 min-
utes, after which they are switched off . The Timer is deactivated
by re-pressing Key E. When the Timer is activated the decimal
point must fl ash on the display. The Timer cannot be activated
if the intensive speed is functioning.
The "clean air" function is activated by pressing key E for 2
seconds when the appliance is switched off . This switches the
motor on for 10 minutes every hour at the fi rst speed. During
functioning a rotary movement of the peripheral segments
must be visualised on the display. When this time has passed
the motor switches off and the fi xed letter "C" must be visu-
alised on the display until the motor re-starts after 50 minutes
for another 10 minutes and so on. Press any key apart from
the light keys to return to normal functioning. Press key E to
deactivate the function.
• Commands:
(Fig.11) LUMINOUS the key symbols are explained below:
A = LIGHT
B = OFF
C = SPEED I
D = SPEED II
E = SPEED III
F = AUTOMATIC STOP TIMER - 15 minutes (*)
• If your appliance does not have the INTENSIVE speed
function, press key E for two seconds and it will be activated
for 10 minutes after which it will return to the previously set
speed. When the function is active the LED fl ashes. To interrupt
it before the 10 minutes have expired press key E again.
• By pressing key F for two seconds (with the hood switched
off ) the "clean air" function is activated. This function switches
the appliance on for ten minutes every hour at the fi rst speed.
As soon as this function is activated the motor starts up at the
fi rst speed for ten minutes, During this time key F and key C
must fl ash at the same time.
After ten minutes the motor switches off and the LED of key
F remains switched on with a fi xed light until the motor starts
up again at the fi rst speed after fi fty minutes and keys F and C
start to fl ash again for ten minutes and so on.
By pressing any key for the exclusion of the hood light the
hood will return immediately to its normal functioning (e.g.
if key D is pressed the "clean air" function is deactivated and
the motor moves to the 2nd speed straight away. By pressing
key B the function is deactivated).
(*) The "automatic stop timer" delays stopping of the hood,
which will continue functioning for 15 minutes at the operating
speed set at the time this function is activated.
• Active carbon/grease fi lter saturation:
- When button A fl ashes at a frequency of 2 seconds, the
grease fi lters must be cleaned.
- When button A fl ashes at a frequency of 0.5 seconds, the
carbon fi lters must be replaced.
After the clean fi lter has been replaced, the electronic memory
must be reset by pressing button A for approximately 5
seconds, until the light on the button stops fl ashing.
• Comands: (Fig.12) SLIDER the key symbols are explained
below:
A = Light switch
A1 = Off key
A2 = On key
B = Gemma warning light key
C = Speed control
C1 = Off key
C2 = FIRST SPEED key
C3 = SECOND SPEED key
C4 = THIRD SPEED key
