Safety instructions  
The cooker hood may only be used in a private household and for normal cooking purposes. It fulfils  
international safety regulations and standards of quality. All precautionary measures however cannot fully  
eliminate all the accident risks.  
Therefore you should read through instructions, advises and safety instructions carefully before you install and  
start using the cooker hood. Pay special attention to sentences with a warning triangle to avoid damages to  
person or property. Save the instruction boook for future reference if the cooker hood is sold or left to another  
person.  
Installation and service  
Use of cooker hood  
Any electrical installation of the cooker hood must  
be carried out by a qualified electrician and the  
hood itself must be installed by someone with  
experience. Installation made by an unqualified  
person can lead to loss of function of the cooker  
hood and possible damage to person and/or  
property.  
Never leave any deep-frying, melting fat,  
paraffin or any other inflammable unattended on  
the hob. If event of fire: Immediately switch off  
the cooker hood and the cooker. Note! Cover  
the fire. Never use water.  
Never do any flambé cooking underneath the  
cooker hood. It can cause a fire. Remember that  
overheated fat may spontaneously ignite. Never  
leave the fraying pan unattended.  
It is essential that the grease filter is regularly  
cleaned to avoid fat to drip on to the hot zone  
and cause fire. Read also the part “Maintenance  
and Cleaning” in the instruction book.  
The cooker hood must be at least 40 cm above  
electric burners or electric range. The cooker hood  
is not approved for mounting above gas burners or  
gas range.  
Ensure that the power cord does not get squeezed at  
the installation.  
The cooker hood is only currentless when the plug  
or the fuse is disconnected.  
Note that the exhaust air must not be conducted  
through a flue which is used for fume extraction  
from any other non-electrical appliances such as oil  
burner or wood stove.  
Disposal  
Prevent accidents when disposing your cooker  
hood. Disconnect the power plug from the wall  
socket and cut the power cord at the hood inlet.  
Contact your local authority for information on  
where to dispose the cooker hood.

Accessories  
Functions  
The following are included with the cooker hood:  
• Template for mounting: Template for mounting  
on wall and under cupboard (printed on packaging).  
• Mounting set: 4 pcs 4x60 mm screws, 4 pcs 5x30  
mm screws, 4 pcs M5x30 mm screws, 4 pcs 5,3x15  
mm washers, 4 pcs 5,3x10 mm washers, 4 pcs M5  
mm nuts, 4 pcs spacers, 4 pcs 10 mm wall dowels, 4  
pcs locknuts, 4 pcs plastic covers, 2 pcs brackets.  
Cold air valve.  
There are two possible systems:  
Extraction of air to outside using optional  
venting kit and evacuation duct.  
Recirculation using optional carbon filter.  
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.  
Instruction book.  
Following is ordered from retailer:  
• Venting kit: When the cooker hood is to be  
connected to an evacuation channel use the venting  
kit containing one ventilation pipe, one roof  
connecting metal flange and two clamps.  
PNC 391 414 201.  
• LONG LIFE carbon filter: The carbon filter is to  
be used when the hood is connected to the  
recirculation system.  
Use the carbon filter. When you use the  
carbon filter, the air is purified within the  
cooker hood and recirculated back into  
the room, so heated air is not lost. It can  
be a good idea to use the carbon filter in  
winter and normal air extraction to a duct  
in summer.  
For new installations:  
PNC 391 834 201 (50 cm), 391 834 200 (60/70 cm).  
Replacements (after approx. 3 years):  
PNC 391 837 001 (50 cm), 391 837 000 (60/70 cm).  
• Venting grid: Venting grid for recirculation.  
PNC 391 433 101.

Using the cooker hood  
The control panel  
Do not operate the fan at a higher speed  
than necessary. The low speeds are  
adequate for ordinary requirements while  
cooking. The high speeds should be used  
only if food has burnt while cooking, or  
for other strong fumes.  
The control panel is under the cooker hood. Best  
results are obtained by using low speed for normal  
conditions and high speed when smells and steam are  
more concentrated.  
On and Off switch.  
Speed adjustment switch.  
Lighting switch, on and off.  
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.  
Turn the hood on a few minutes before you start  
cooking then you will get an underpressure in the  
kitchen. It should be left on after cooking for about 15  
minutes or until all steam and smells have disappeared.  
Important to know  
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. Not  
applicable for cooker hoods used in recirculation  
mode.  
Maintenance and cleaning  
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.  
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).  
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. 1):  
Fig. 1  
Grab hold of the handle and push the filter  

backward.  
Pulling the filter down at the front and removing it  
forwards.  
Clean the filter frequently. A clean filter  
minimises the motor load, which helps the  
fan to function more efficiently.  
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.  
33  
 
Cleaning the motor cover  
It is also possible to clean the motor cover (Fig. 2):  
Remove the grease filter.  
Remove the inlet ring (A) by turning it anti-  
clockwise.  

Remove the fan wheel by unscrewing the centre nut  
(B) on the fan wheel.  

Use gloves when removing the fan wheel. Clean all the  
plastic and metal parts with warm water and washing  
dergent. Replace in reverse order.

Changing the light  
Turn off the power before changing the light.  
Remove the lampglass by pushing the two snaps  
forwards (Fig. 3).  

Replace the damaged part with one of equal  
rating.  
To remove the light without damaging it, place a  
finger on the end of the light and pull gently.

Cleaning/changing the carbon  
filter  
Unlike other carbon filters, the LONG LIFE  
carbon filter can be cleaned and reactivated. The  
filter should be cleaned every other month if used  
normally. The filter is best cleaned in a dishwasher  
at the highest temperature using normal washer  
detergent. The filter should be washed on its own  
to prevent particles of food from fastening in it and  
then causing an unpleasant smell later on. To  
reactivate the carbon the filter should be dried in  
the oven. Chose upper/lower heat and maximum  
100° C and dry the filter for 10 minutes. Read also  
the filter instructions.  
Fig. 3  
The filter should be changed after about 3 years as  
its ability to absorb smells has reduced by then.  
The filter insert is removed from the frame and is  
replaced with a new one (according to the filter  
instructions).  
If the cooker hood does not function  
Before calling for service  
Service and spare parts  
Check the plug is correctly connected to the wall  
socket. Check the fuse. Do not attempt any repairs  
yourself that are likely to lead to further damage. If the  
problem remains, contact your dealer or an approved  
service company. Remember to save your purchase  
receipt and warranty card (only used in some  
countries).  
Your dealer or service company will supply you  
with service and spare parts. Be sure you have the  
product number and model name at hand when  
ordering service or parts.  
Changing the cord  
If the cord to the cooker hood is damaged it must  
be replaced by an approved service company. This  
is because special tools are required for the job.

Mounting the cold air valve (Fig. 10):  
Not applicable for recirculation. The cold air valve  
consists of a damper seat with two valves, which shall  
be fitted into the hood outlet. If there is no other form  
of ventilation to expel air from the kitchen than the  
hood, the outer end of the valves should be clipped off  
and removed. Insert a pen or something similar

between the valves. These should open up easily now.  
Fig. 10  
Extend the duct hose correctly. A duct  
hose which is too long or has too many  
bends can reduce cooker hood efficiency  
by fifty per cent. Shorten the hose if it is  
too long, and avoid unnecessary bends in  
it.  
Mounting the venting kit (Fig. 11):  
Not applicable for recirculation. A complete venting  
kit is available as an optional extra. The ventilation  
pipe (A) is pulled over the hood’s evacuation flange  
(B) and is held firmly in place with a clamp. Make sure  
the pipe is as straight as possible and does not hinder  
the movement of the valve flaps. The pipe is connected  
to the mouth of the duct with the metal flange (C)  
which is included in the kit.

Fitting the carbon filter  
A
B
Only applicable for recirculation. The LONG LIFE  
carbon filter (special accessory) for this hood is fitted  
instead of the grease filter. The LONG LIFE carbon  
filter is both a grease and carbon filter for reduction of  
cooking smells.  
An opening must be made at the top or front of the  
cupboard (min. 100 cm²) where the hood is fitted, so  
the cleaned air can freely circulate back into the  
kitchen.
