GENERAL
Carefully read the following important information regarding installation safety and maintenance. Keep this information booklet accessible
for further consultations.
The appliance has been designed as a suction version (external exhaust) or as a filter version (internal air recycle) cooker hood.
SAFETY PRECAUTION
1. Take care when the cooker 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 cooker hood.
Follow the local laws applicable for external air evacuation.
Before connecting the model to the electricity network:
- control the data plate (positioned inside the appliance) to ascertain
that the voltage and power correspond to the network and the socket is
suitable. If in doubt ask a qualified electrician.
2. WARNING !
In certain circumstances electrical appliances may be a danger
hazard.
A) Do not check the status of the filters while the cooker hood
is operating
B) Do not touch bulbs or adjacent areas, during or straight after
prolonged use of the lighting installation.
C) Flambè cooking is prohibited underneath the cooker hood
D) Avoid free flame, as it is damaging for the filters and a fire
hazard
E) Constantly check food frying to avoid that the overheated
oil may become a fire hazard
F) Disconnect the electrical plug prior to any maintenance.
G) This appliance is not intended for use by young children or
infirm persons without supervision
H) Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not
play with the appliance
I) There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the
rangehood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas
or other fuels
L) There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Assembly and electrical connections must be carried out by
specialised personnel.
• 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 cooker hood must be
installed in order that the plug is easily accessible.
An omnipolar switch with a minimum opening 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.
• The minimum distance between the support surfaces of the cooking
pots on the cooker top and the lowest part of the cooker hood must be
at least 65 cm.
If a connection tube composed of two parts is used, the upper part must
be placed outside the lower part.
Do not connect the cooker hood exhaust to the same conductor used to
circulate hot air or for evacuating fumes from other appliances generated by other than an electrical source.
In the case of assembly of the appliance in the suction version prepare
the hole for evacuation of the air.
• MOUNTING OF THE HOOD IN THE LOWER PART OF AN
HANGING CUPBOARD
This appliance has to be built in the lower part of an hanging cupboard
GB
or in another support. For the fixing use 4 screws, which are appropriate to thakind of cupboard, drilling the holes corresponding to fig.1 and
2.
CHANGING FROM EXHAUSTING HOOD TO FILTERING ONE
In order to make this change (possible also after the use of the
exhausting system), demand a set of carbon filters (F) fig. 3 to your
dealer. Active carbon filters are necessary to depurate the air, that will
be released in the room. Filters are not washable; they cannot be
regenerated and have to be replaced at most every 4 months. The
saturation of the activated charcoal depends on the more or less
prolonged use of the hood, on the type of cooking and on the regularity
of cleaning of the grease filter. The filter has to be applied to the
aspirating group, which is inside the hood hiting the centre of the group
with it and turning it of 90 degrees until the stop click is heard to lock
it fig. 3. Remove the grills (G) fig. 3 to carry out this operation. The air
is released in the room through a connecting pipe, which goes through
the hanging cupboard and which is connected to the connecting ring
supplied (B) fig. 1.
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 recommendable to clean the filter
at a maximum of 2 months by carrying out the following instructions:
- Remove the filters from the cooker hood 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 nor replacement of panels.
• The active carbon filters purify the air that is replaced in the environment. The filters are not washable nor 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 cooker hood regularly using
a cloth moistened with denatured alcohol or non abrasive liquid detergent.
• The illumination installation is designed for use during cooking and
not for prolonged general illumination of the environment. Prolonged
use of the illumination installation notably reduces the duration of the
bulb.

EVENTUAL DAMAGES CAUSED BY BREACHING THE ABOVE
WARNINGS.
