Fig. 1 Recirculation Version The air is filtered through a charcoal filter and returned to the kitchen through the top grill of the outlet pipe. 2 Control Panel Best results are obtained by using a low speed for normal conditions and a high speed when odours are more concentrated. Turn the hood on a few minutes before you start cooking, you will then get an under pressure in the kitchen. The hood should be left on after cooking for about 15 minutes or until all the odours have disappeared. The control switches are located on the units front panel: ON/OFF Light button OFF Motor button Speed 2 button Correct ventilation If the cooker hood is to work correctly there must be an under pressure in the kitchen. It is important to keep the kitchen windows closed and have a window in an adjacent room open. Speed 1 button 5 Speed 3 button Maintenance and care The hood must always be disconnected from the electricity supply before beginning any maintenance work. Cleaning the hood Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grille using a damp cloth and delicate detergents. It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the filters at the recommended intervals. Failure to do so will cause grease deposits to build up that could constitute a fire hazard. Warning Failure to observe the instructions on cleaning the unit and changing the filters will cause a fire hazard. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to the motor or any fire damage linked to inappropriate maintenance or failure to observe the above safety recommendations. Metal grease filters The purpose of the grease filters is to absorb grease particles which form during cooking and they must always be used, either in the external extraction or internal recirculation function. Attention: the metal grease filters must be removed and washed, either by hand or in the dishwasher, every four weeks. Removing the metal grease filters Push it towards the back of the unit and then pull it down and out. Fig. Hand washing Soak grease filters for about one hour in hot water with a grease-loosening cleaner, then rinse off thoroughly with hot water. Select most powerful washing programme and highest temperature, at least 65°C. When washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher a slight discolouration of the filter can occur, this does not have any impact on its performance. Clean the inner housing using a hot detergent solution only (never use caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes). Fig. 3 6 Charcoal filter The charcoal filter should only be used if you want to use the hood in the recirculation function. To do this you will need an original FRIGIDAIRE charcoal filter (available from your local Service Force Centre). As a general rule, the activated charcoal filter should be changed once every four months. 4 Fit one charcoal filter on the left and one on the right so to cover the plastic grids that protect the fan wheel, then turn clockwise the central handle of the charcoal filter. Any appliance or defective part replaced shall become the Companys property. This guarantee is in addition to your statutory and other legal rights.
