installations use screws and screw anchors suited to the type of wall (e.g. reinforced concrete, plasterbo ard,
etc.). If the screws and screw anchors are provided with the product, check that they are suitable for the type
of wall on which the

with the screws B (Fig.3).

RECIRCULATED VERSION

Install the rangehood and the two flues as described in the p

Rangehoods may be ducted in two ways:

1. Ducted to the atmosphere (outside).

2. Recirculating.

We recommend ducting to the atmosphere to ensure optim
the room should only be used when outside extraction is not possible. To ensure maximum performance
when ducting it is important the ducting that carries the fumes away, be as short and as straight as possible.

When incorporating a rangehood in the design of a kitchen the following points need to be
co

nsidered to achieve the most benefit from the rangehood.

1. Ducting from a rangehood carrying the exhaust air, shou

3. Ducting containing a 90° degree bend will encounter a loss in efficienc y of approximately 35%. Additional

90° degree bends can cause losses of up to 15% per bend.

4. Ducting size should always comply with the manufacturers specification.

USE AND MAINTENANCE

• It is recommended to operate the appliance prior to cooking.

• It is recommended to leave the appliance in operation for 15 minutes after cooking to help eliminate

cooking vapors and odors.

• It is important to properly maintain the rangehood and the carbon filters to ensure proper function of the

rangehood.

• The anti-grease filters capture the grease particles suspended in the air, and are therefore subj ect to

clogging according to the frequency of the use of the appliance.
In order to prevent fire hazard, it is recommendable to clean the filter at a maximum of 2 months by carrying
out the following instructions:

- Remove the filters from the rangehood and wash them in a solution of water and neutral liquid det ergent,

leaving to soak.

- Rinse thoroughly with warm water and leave to dry.

- The filters may also be washed in the dishwasher. The aluminium panels may alter in col our after several

washes. This is normal and the filter panels will not need to be replaced.

• The active carbon filters purify the air that is recirculated into the environment. The filters are not washable

nor reusable and must be replaced at maximum every four months. The saturation of the active carbon filter
depends on the frequency of use of the appliance, by the type of cooking and the regularity of cleani ng the
anti-grease filters.

• Clean the fan and other surfaces of the rangehood regularly using a cloth moistened with den atured

alcohol or non abrasive liquid detergent.

• The lighting is designed for use during cooking and not for prolonged general illumination of the

environment. Prolonged use of the light notably reduces the duration of the bulb and is generally not
recommended.

REPLACING THE GLOBES.

• Open the anti-grease filters.

• Un-screw the globe.

• Replace the globe.

• Re-install the anti-grease filter.

Globe: Tubular E14 (40Watts 240volts).
