HOW THE
DOWNDRAFT WORKS
TIMING
As a result of the new EU65 “Energy label” and
EU66 “ Ecodesign” regulations issued by the European Commission, which came into force as from
January 1st, 2015 , our products have been adapted to comply with these new requirements.
All of the models complying with the energy label
requirements, are equipped with new electronics
including a timer device for suction speeds control,
when the air capacity exceeds 650m³/h.
Internal motor models, with maximum air capacity
higher than 650m³/h, are equipped with a timer device that automatically switches the suction speed
from 4th to 3rd speed, after 6 minutes operation.
External motor models are equipped with remote
motors that , as for internal motor versions, include a timer device that switches down the suction
speed when it exceeds 650 m³/h. (See External
Motors Instructions)
Remote motors, whose air capacity exceeds
650m³/h at both 4th and 3rd speed, will have the
following by default timer control functions:
The suction speed is automatically switched from
4th to 2nd speed, after 6 minutes operation.
If the appliance is working at 3rd speed, it is automatically switched to 2nd speed, after 7 minutes
operation. Operation speeds can also be changed
during operation.
The energy consumption of the appliance in stand
– by mode is lower than 0.5W.
Other functions:
Automatic turn off:
After 4 hours of continuous operation from the last
setup, the appliance turns off automatically.
Grease lters saturation
After 30 hours of operation, the speed indicators
“B” will all flash simultaneously, signaling the
grease filters saturation. To reset this alarm, hold
the “TIMER” button down for at least 3 seconds,
while the extractable unit is open.

Careful maintenance ensures proper operation and good performances over time.
CLEANING THE
DOWNDRAFT
The hood must be disconnected from the electrical network, both by unplugging the appliance
from the socket and activating the magnetic circuit breaker (safety cut-out), before removing the
metal grease lters. After cleaning operations, replace the metal grease lters as outlined in the
installation instructions.
CAUTION
MAINTENANCE HOW TO PROCEED?
ACCESSORY PRODUCTS TO
USE
Cleaning external
surfaces and
accessories
Do not use metallic scrubbers,
abrasive products, or hard brushes.
To clean the external surfaces of the
downdraft and the light housing
screen use only commercially
available household detergents
diluted in water. Then rinse with
clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Grease filters
Activated charcoal
lter
After 30 hours of operation, the
downdraft will signal the grease filter
saturation. Saturation is indicated
by flashing RED color LED speed
indicator, when the cooker hood is
off. To reset, hold down the timer
button for at least 3 seconds,
while the hood is OFF.
In the recirculation mode, the
active charcoal filter must be
replaced periodically.
To remove the charcoal filter first of
all it is necessary to remove the
grease filter and then pull the
plastic key of the panel itself, in
order to disengage it from its seating.
Follow these steps in reverse order
to insert the active charcoal filter.
Replace the used charcoal filter on
an average of every six months.
The grease filters can be washed by
hand or in the dishwasher. These
filters need to be cleaned on a
regular basis, because otherwise
they may represent a fire risk.
Refit the grease filters and front
panel, making sure that they are
properly fitted at the sides so that
it does not cause the downdraft to
stop operating.
