GENERAL

Carefully read the following important information regarding installation safety and maintenance. Keep this information
booklet accessible for further consultations.
This apparatus was designed to be used in the suction version (air evacuated externally), in the filter version (internal
air recycling) or in centralized exhausting version.

SAFETY PRECAUTION

1. Take care when the range hood is operating simultaneously with an open fireplace or burner that depend on the air

in the environment and are supplied by other than electrical energy, as the cooker hood removes the air from the
environment which a burner or fireplace need for combustion. The negative pressure in the environment must not
exceed 4Pa (4x10-5 bar). Provide adequate ventilation in the environment for a safe operation of the range hood.
Follow the local laws applicable for external air evacuation.

General Warnings.

· The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

· Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

· If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

· There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the range hood is used at the same time as appliances
burning gas or other fuels.

· Ensure that the range hood is cleaned frequently.

· There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions.

· Do not flambé under the range hood.

Warnings for Installation:

· The exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas

or other fuels.

· The minimum distance from the highest part of the hob of the cooking appliance and the range hood shall not be less
than 600mm.

· The regulations concerning the discharge of exhaust air have to be fulfilled.

INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS

• Electric Connection

The appliance has been manufactured as a class II, therefore no earth cable is necessary.
The connection to the mains is carried out as follows:
BROWN = L line
BLUE = N neutral
If not provided, connect a plug for the electrical load indicated on the description label. Where a plug is provided, the
range hood must be installed in order that the plug is easily accessible.
An omnipolar switch with a minimum aperture of 3mm between contacts, in line with the electrical load and local
standards, must be placed between the appliance and the network in the case of direct connection to the electrical
network.

• ATTENTION: if the lamps will not operate, check that the lamps are screwed in properly.

• MOUNTING THE RANGE HOOD UNDERNEATH A WALL CABINET - (Fig.2)
Fix the range hood to the wall cabinet base with 4 screws suitable for the type of model respecting the indicated
measures (Fig.2B). The apparatus is equipped with 2 air exits, one is situated in the upper section and the other is
located at the back of the cooker hood either air exit may be used according to installation requirements. If the back
air exit is to be used then remove the metal sheet that closes the perforation with small hammerings. A connection
ring (C) for the connection of the chimney flue to the air exit is included and a plug/covering for the other air exit which
will not be used is also supplied.

• MOUNTING THE RANGE HOOD TO THE WALL - (Fig.3)
Mark out the 4 holes (C & P) as per the dimensions “A” and “B” (Fig. 4) corresponding to the model purchased. Use
screws and expanding anchors suited for the type of wall (for example: cement, plaster, etc.). Hang the range hood
on the wall using the 2 holes “C” (Fig.3). Finally fix the cooker hood to the wall using the two lower safety holes “P”.

• CHANGING THE RANGE HOOD FROM SUCTION VERSION TO FILTER VERSION - (Fig.5)
To change to the filter version (which is still possible even after use in the suction version), you will require two active

- 4 -

carbon filters, not provided, however can be ordered as an accessory. The active carbon filters serve as air purifiers
for the air that will be recycled into the environment via the perforations on top front of the range hood. The filters
are not washable or regenerative and must be replaced on average every 4 months with regular use. The saturation
of the active carbon depends on the length of time of use of the cooker hood, from the type of cooking and the regular
cleaning of the anti-grease filter. The active carbon filter “C” must be placed on the suction group situated inside the
cooker hood and centred by rotating the filter clockwise for about 90° until it locks into place. Remove the “G” grill
in order to carry out this operation. Close the appropriate upper and lower air exit covers. Rotate the knob “L” from
the “A” position to the “B” position. The cooker hood is then ready for operation in filter version mode.

REPLACING THE GLOBE.

• Take out the anti-grease filters.

• From the inside press gently down in the center area of the plastic light cover.

• The cover will ‘pop’ out.

• Change the globe.

• Re-install the cover, position the cover so that the ‘clips’ will fit into the corresponding holes in the rangehood then

simply press the cover in.

Globe 240volts 40Watts Tube E14.

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 is terminated in order to completely
eliminate cooking vapours and odours.
The proper function of the cooker hood is conditioned by the regularity of the maintenance operations, in particular,
the active carbon filter.

• The anti-grease filters capture the grease particles suspended in the air, and are therefore subject to clogging
according to the frequency of the use of the appliance.
In order to prevent fire hazard, it is recommended to clean the filter by carrying out the following instructions:

- Remove the filters from the range hood approximately every 4 months and wash them in a solution of water and

neutral liquid detergent, 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 colour after several washes. This is not cause for customer complaint or
replacement of panels.

• The active carbon filters purify the air that is replaced in the environment. The filters are not washable or re-useable
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 cleaning the anti-grease filters.

• Clean the fan and other surfaces of the range hood regularly using a cloth moistened with denatured alcohol or non
abrasive liquid detergent.

THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR EVENTUAL DAMAGES CAUSED BY BREACHING THE
ABOVE WARNINGS.
