Other important information concerning the operation of the hood
Operation in air circulation / odour lter mode. In this mode, the ltered air returns
to the room through the outlets. Install activated charcoal lter in this setting. It is
recommended to install the air guide (available depending on the model, mainly in
chimney cooker hoods).
Air extraction operation: When cooker hood operates in extraction mode, air is dis-
charged outside through an extraction duct. Remove activated charcoal lter in this
setting. The cooker hood is connected to the air outlet opening using a rigid or ex-
ible extraction duct with a diameter of 150 or 120 mm, and the appropriate clamps,
which must be purchased at a hardware store. The appliance should be installed by
a qualied installer.
Fan speed: Lowest and medium fan speed is used in normal conditions and less
intense odours, while the highest speed is used only when cooking odours are very
intense, such as during frying or grilling.
Note (applies to universal hoods only): Due to the design of universal hoods you
need to manually change the mode of operation. See Figure 8 for instructions on
how to change the mode.
Note (only applies to telescopic and in-built kitchen hoods): Furniture and telescopic
cooker hoods operating in air recirculation mode require installation of the exhaust
duct. The other end of the duct should be directed to the room as it will discharge
ltered air.
Note: Hanging kitchen hoods operate only in air circulation / odour absorber mode
