- Repairs must be performed only by an authorised specialist.

Always disconnect the hood before carrying out cleaning or maintenance operations.

- Adequately ventilate the area in case the hood is activated simultaneously with other appliances powered from non-electrical sources so that the hood does not ventilate these combustion fumes.

- It is prohibited to cook food over open flames or operate gas hobs without pots or pans on them under the hood itself (the flames sucked into the hood might damage the appliance).

- Deep frying under the appliance must be done under constant supervision as hot oils and fats may ignite.

Respect the guidelines for cleaning and replacement of the filters. Accumulated deposits of

grease are a fire hazard.

- This appliance must not be used over cook tops powered by wood or coal or in any case, over cook tops with power levels that could damage the appliance.

Never use steam or high-pressure devices for cleaning your hood (regulations regarding electri-

cal safety).

- Never use the hood without the grease filters

NOTE: The minimum distance between the open down draft and the surface above it needs to be 400 mm NOTE: When moving the down draft, never place hands inside the operating radius of the pull-out carriage

Constantly seeking to improve our products, we reserve the right to modify their technical, functional, or aesthetic characteristics as they evolve.

In the case of the version with external motor, for normal downdraft operation, it is necessary to use an extraction unit (external motor) made by the same manufacturer. The air collected must not be conveyed into a flue used for smoke or fumes from appliances powered by anything other than electricity (central heating systems, etc.). As far as concerns discharging air from the flue, respect the guidelines of the competent authorities.

2/ INSTALLING THE HOOD

1) Before installing the appliance, make sure that none of the parts is damaged in any way. In case of

damaged parts, contact your retailer and do not proceed with installation.

Read all of the following instructions with care before installing the appliance.

- Use an air outlet pipe of the shortest possible length.

- Limit the number of pipe bends.

- Use a material approved by standards and regulations.

- Avoid any sudden changes in pipe section (recommended constant diameter: 150 mm or equal

surface area).

Before the installation of the Downdraft, please remove the security piece you can see in the picture

(Fig. 1-2-3-4).

The manufacturer will not be answerable for any capacity or noise problems caused by failure to com-

ply with the above instructions and the warranty will be rendered null and void.

2) Before making the opening, check that there are no structural or other parts inside the cabinet, where

the appliance is to be placed, which could hinder a proper installation. Check that the dimensions of the Downdraft and the ones of the cooktop are compatible with the cabinet so that the installation can be carried out properly.

3) Make a rectangular opening measuring 490 x 104 mm in the area chosen for the cook top.

For models with motor already fitted, remove the screws and the extraction unit to fit the downdraft in

the relevant hole. At this point, insert a seal (silicone) in the bottom section of the frame support (Fig.

18) and place in the relevant hole (Fig. 19-20), then proceed to insert the downdraft into the unit.

4) Put the Downdraft in the opening, inserting it from above as shown in Fig. 12.

5) The upper edge of the Downdraft must fit perfectly the cooktop.

6) Fix the Downdraft inside the cabinet. According to the dimensions of the cabinet and of the air outlet

duct, use the provided fixing brackets.

Attention: do not make any additional openings on the appliance in order to avoid to damage the

internal sliding and electrical components.

7) After completing the installation and connecting the appliance to the mains electricity, lift the down-

draft and remove the door block (Fig. 5-6-7). Then open the door (Fig. 8 - 9), remove the PVC grease filter shield (Fig. 10), then place the filters as illustrated in Fig. 11

8) In the version of the Downdraft equipped with motor, install the motor group adjusting the air evacu-

ation direction as required, either downwards or upwards. After installing the motor, connect the air ducts (Fig. 13).The motor can be fitted either on the front or back side of the downdraft..

9) For versions with outside motor, place the suction unit (outside motor) in a suitable area and fit the

exhaust air flue as illustrated in Fig. 13. Proceed to fit the air outlet ducts between the outside motor and the down draft. Select an air outlet from the five possibilities (Fig. 21) and fit the connection provided.

10) Put the metallic box containing the electronic components in a place easy to be reached if a technical

assistance is needed Fig. 14). Connect the electrical connectors of the box to the Downdraft (Fig. 14).

11) For outside motors, connect the motor unit cable to the relevant connector on the electrical compo-

nents box.

12) Power the appliance.

Downdraft calibration

After the downdraft has been installed, the aspiration panel must be calibrated. This operation is necessary to regulate the power exstraction of the aspiration panel. Connect the product to the power line, making sure that it is conformed to the supply voltage indicated on the technical data tag. Push- ing the ON/1 button (Fig. 22B for D520SS and 15H for D520BK) the aspiration panel rises. After it has reached a height of 180mm from the cooketop, press OFF, to stop the extraction then the Timer and after 2 sec. the OFF button. The downdraft will carry out the calibration of its aspiration panel rising and retracting for some centimeters. During this phase, the buttons on the pushbutton control panel blink. At the end of the calibration, the aspiration panel get back to the previous position and the button end to blink. Wait until the aspiration panel stops moving before re-activating the extraction. After the self-calibration stage, close the filter unit completely using the OFF button.
