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.

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.

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

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.
