— For best performance, you are advised to use
speed one or two in normal conditions, and
speed three in the presence of high levels of
vapour.
— Lighting improves visibility in the cooking area,
and should therefore be used.
— It is recommended that you turn the hood on a
few minutes before you start cooking, and
keep it switched on for at least 5 minutes after
you finish.
Use:
Two systems are available
Exhaust mode (A)
Vapours are extracted outside through an
exhausting pipe that is affixed to the connection
ring above the hood.
Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to
that of the connection ring.
In the horizontal runs the duct must be slightly
slanted (about 10°) and directed upwards to vent
the air easily from the room to the outside.
Attention!
If the hood is supplied with carbon filter,
then it must be removed.
Filter version (F)
The air is filtered through a carbon filter (for its
installation see paragraph "Carbon filter") and
recirculated into the room through the grating on
the lower side of the chimney.
Attention!
If the hood is not supplied with carbon filter,
then it must be ordered and mounted.
This version is used when there is no exhaust
duct for venting outdoors or when it is impossible
to install one.
