1
• Always check the power level selected on the cooker hood before turning on the
appliance. If possible, always use the cooker hood with the switch in the “I”
position. This setting is generally sufficient in the majority of cooking situations.
• Make sure you switch off the cooker hood after use.
• Clean the mesh filters frequently and according to the instructions. Replace the
active carbon filters frequently and according to the instructions. Heavily soiled
filters have a negative impact on performance and efficiency.
• Make sure the ducting has no bends sharper than 90 degrees as this will reduce
the efficiency of the cooker hood.
• Switch on the cooker before you start the cooking, so the air flow has time to
establish itself.
• When the cooker hood is used in recirculation mode (with active carbon filter),
keep the hood switched on until the filter is dry.

Carefully remove the grease filter/s(C), in the interim placing them onto a
soft towel to avoid scratches.
2.
Using a jigsaw, carefully create the required cut-out for your undermount
rangehoo, as per the measurement dimensions in the table. Always
ensure the cut-out is at least 35mm from the cabinet edge.
3.
Drill a hole into the cabinet, which will later serve as a guide for the power
cord.
4.
Remove the screws on the frame(B) and unscrew the two globes, Ensure
that the two clips on both sides of the rangehood are suitable for the
thickness of the area where the rangehood is installed. If this is not the
case, adjust the clips accordingly using the screws.
5.
Insert the rangehood into the cabinet, then pass the power cord through
the opening drilled in step 3.
6.
Slide the rangehood completely into the opening in the wall cabinet. If
you want to connect the rangehood to a pipe leading outwards, attach
the connecting pipe at the top of the round air outlet of the rangehood.
7.
While one person is holding the rangehood, the other person should
tighten the screws through the holes in the hood frame(A).
8.
Screw the fan frame(B) back into place and tighten the two globes,
followed by reinstalling the grease filter/s.

8 NOTES ON ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
-During cooking, make sure that there is sufficient air supply so that the
cooker hood can operate efficiently and with low operating noise.
-Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam produced during cooking. Use
the intensive mode only when necessary. The lower the fan speed, the less
energy is consumed.
- If large amounts steam are produced during cooking, select a higher fan
speed in good time. If the cooking steam has already dispersed in the
kitchen, the cooker hood must be operated longer.
- Switch off the cooker hood when you no longer need it.
- Switch off the lighting when you no longer need it.
- Clean the filter at regular intervals and replace it if necessary to increase
the effectiveness of the ventilation system and prevent fire hazards.
- Always put the lid on when cooking to reduce cooking steam and
condensation.
