Safety instructions

Description of the cooker hood

The cooker hood

Functions

There are two possible systems:

• Extraction of air to outside using optional venting kit

and evacuation duct

• Recirculation using carbon filter.

Exhausting version

The air is vented outdoors by a 150 mm duct which must be

connected to connecting ring with no return valve on top of

the motor package.

The cooker hood cannot be connected to flues of

other appliances that run on energy sources other

than electricity. Please, keep to the provisions of

official directives regarding the question of fumes

discharge.

Accessories

Recycling version

The air is filtered through a carbon filter and recirculated

into the room through the top sides of the chimney (Fig. 2).

This version is used when there is no exhaust duct for

venting outdoors or when it is impossible to install one.

Fig. 2

Using the cooker hood

The hood is fitted with a variable speed motor. The most effective use of the hood is obtained by switching it on a few

minutes before you start cooking and leaving it on a for approximately 15 minutes after you have finished, thus ensuring

all cooking odours are eliminated. The control switches are located on the unit’s front side:

• Indicator light (LED): this LED indicates when a speed is selected.

• Light switch: this switch is used to turn the light fitted in the hood on and off.

• Extractor fan switch: used to turn the fan off.

• Push-button 1: used to set the fan to speed 1.

• Push-button 2: used to set the fan to speed 2.

• Push-button 3: used to set the fan to speed 3.

Correct ventilation

If the cooker hood should be working correctly there must

be an underpressure in the kitchen. It is important to keep

the kitchen windows closed and have a window in an

adjacent room open.

Important to know

Not applicable for recirculation. Great care must be taken if

the hood is used at the same time as a burner or fireplace

(e.g. gas, diesel, coal or wood heaters, water heaters, etc.), as

the hood will expel air which is required by these other

appliances. Attend to it by opening a window. The negative

pressure in the room must not exceed 0,04 mbar to prevent

fumes being drawn back into the room by the cooker hood.

Maintenance and cleaning

Cleaning the hood

Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a

mild detergent. Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable

cleaning products.

Cleaning the grease filters

Clean the filter every month or every other month according

to how much the hood is used. The cleaner the filters, the

better it collects grease. Remove the filter by (Fig. 3):

• Push the handles towards the centre of the hood

• Pull the filter down to remove.

The filter is made of aluminium wires on which the grease

collects. Clean the filter in hot water using a detergent, or in

a dishwasher. Let the filter dry before putting it back. Note

that a dishwasher may discolour the filter.

Mounting the carbon filter

Only applicable for recirculation. The carbon filters absorb

smells and odours.

The carbon filter cannot be washed nor regenerated.

The carbon filter should be replaced every 6 months under

normal use.

Ask the technical assistance service or manufacturing

company for a new one.

After approximately three years of use, the KF2000 filter

should be replaced with a new, as the odour reduction capacity

will be reduced.

Mounting the carbon filter (Fig. 2):

• Unplug the unit or disconnect it from the power supply

• Remove the metal grease filter. Fig. 3

• Fit the carbon filter and fix it to the body of the hood

with two supplied screws. Fig. 4.

• Refit the metal grease filters.

To dismount proceed in reverse order.

Changing the light

Disconnect the cooker hood from the main supply before

changing the light.

• Unscrew the light shield

• Replace the damaged lamp with a new lamp of the same

kind and rating. Fig. 5.

• Screw in place the light shield.

• If the lighting does not work properly, check that the

bulbs have been mounted properly into place before

contacting your nearest service centre!

Clean the filter regularly. The grease that

collects in the filter and the duct could ignite

if a hot plate is left on (or if overheating

occurs).

Fig. 3

Before doing any maintenance work on the hood,

disconnect it from the main supply by

disconnecting the plug from the wall socket or

unscrewing the fuse.

Preliminary information for installation of the hood:

Disconnect the hood during electrical connection, by turning the home mains switch off.

• Using a pencil, draw a line on the wall, extending up to the ceiling, to mark the centre. This will facilitate installation.

• Rest the drilling template against the wall (1) : the vertical centre line printed on the drilling template must

correspond to the centre line drawn on the wall, and the bottom edge of the drilling template must correspond to the

bottom edge of the hood: bear in mind that, when installation is complete, the underside of the hood must be at least

60 cm above the cooker top in the case of electric cookers, and at least 75 cm above the cooker top in the case of gas

or mixed cookers.

• Mark the two holes and drill them (2), remove the drilling template, insert 2 wall plugs (3) , hooks (4) and fix them

with screws (5).

• Hang the hood on the hooks (6).

• Adjust the distance of the hood from the wall, adjust the horizontal position of the hood (7).

• From inside the suction unit, use a pencil to mark the 2 holes to be used for final fixing of the hood (8).

• Remove the hood from the bracket.

• Drill at the point marked (2 x Ø8mm ) and insert 2 wall plugs (9).

• Hook the hood onto the bottom bracket.

• Fix the hood into its final position on the wall using 2 x 5x45mm screw (10 - ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL).

• Rest the chimney support bracket (13) against the wall, touching the ceiling. Use the support bracket as a drilling

template (the small slot formed on the support must coincide with the line drawn on the wall as above) and mark 2

holes with a pencil, dril the holes (11 - Ø8mm), insert 2 wall plugs (12).

• Fix the chimney support bracket to the wall using two 5x45mm screws (14).

• Connect a pipe (pipe and pipe clamps not provided, to be purchased separately) for discharge of fumes to the

connection ring located over the suction motor unit (16).

If the hood is to be used in ducting version, the other end of the pipe must be connected to a device expelling the

fumes to the outside. If the

hood is to be used in filter

version, fix deflector (15F)

to the chimney support

bracket using 2 screws,

and connect the other end

of the pipe to the

connection ring on

deflector.

• Make the electrical

connections.

• Apply the chimney stacks

and fasten them at the top

to the chimney support

using 2 screws (17).

• Slide the bottom section

of the chimney down until

it completely covers the

suction unit and slots into

the housing provided on

top of the hood (18).
