Before the installation of the Downdraft, please remove the security piece you can see in the picture
) After completing the installation and connecting the appliance to the mains electricity, lift the downdraft and
remove the door block (Fig. -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
) Make a rectangular opening, 790 x 100 mm in size, in the back of the cook top for the 90 cm model and 10
x 100 mm for the 60 cm model.
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-0), then proceed to insert the downdraft into the unit.
) In the event that the downdraft is to be placed so that it is next to the cook top, it is possible to join the
downdraft hole to that of the cook top and in this case, it is no longer necessary to remove the motor.
) 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.

6) Put the Downdraft in the opening, inserting it from above as shown in Fig. 1.

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

8) 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.

9) In the version of the Downdraft equipped with motor, install the motor group adjusting the air evacuation
direction as required, either downwards or upwards. After installing the motor, connect the air ducts (Fig. 1).
The motor can be fitted either on the front or back side of the downdraft..

10) 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. 1. Proceed to fit the air outlet ducts between the outside motor and the down draft.
Select an air outlet from the five possibilities (Fig. 1) and fit the connection provided.

11) Put the metallic box containing the electronic components in a place easy to be reached if a technical assist­ance is needed Fig. 1). Connect the electrical connectors of the box to the Downdraft (Fig. 1).

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. Pushing the ON/1 button (dis.
1B for SDD and 1 for SDD TC) the aspiration panel rises. After it has reached a height of 180mm from the
cooketop, press OFF, to stop the extraction then the Timer (fig. 1) and after  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.

UTILISATION

This product is intended to extract fumes, fats, and steam from cooking. It has been designed and made for use

18

either in the suction or filter versions.

VERSION EVACUATION exterieure

The hood is equipped with an air outlet (Fig. A FIGURE 1) to convey smoke outwards (the flue pipe and fixing
flange are not supplied).

Check valve blockage

Warning: Before connecting the air exhaust hose, make sure that the check valves are free to
turn over freely.

For hoods with outside air exhaust, fit a check valve to prevent wind and returning air from
entering.

Recirculation model

If it is not possible to fit an exhaust flue for smoke and fumes to be discharged outside, it is
possible to use the recirculation model. Carbon filters are required for this type of hood. The
recycled air is discharged back into the kitchen via a pipe that conveys it out through one side
of the unit (Fig. 1 bis).

Installation must conform to the regulations in force regarding the ventilation of en-

closed environments. In particular, discharged air must not be channelled into a conduit
used for exhaust discharge or discharge from devices that operate with gas or other com­bustible materials. The use of unused conduits is not permissible without the approval of
a qualified technician.

The product can be installed at a distance of less than 65 cm from the cook top, according
to the standard EN60335-2-31:1997.

- REMOVAL OF THE FILTER ALUMINIUM CARTRIDGE

- MOUNTING THE CARBON FILTER

The removal and fitting of the grease and carbon filters need to be carried out with the down­draft in the open position. To open the downdraft, push the ON/1 key. Then remove the front
panel, pushing the upper part of each side at the same time. The panel will rotate forwards to
make it possible to access the grease filters (Fig. 16). Remove the grease filters to access the
carbon filters (Fig. 17). The carbon filters should be changed according to the frequency of
downdraft use and in any case, once every 6 months.

3/ HOW THE HOOD WORKS

Model S.DD2 STANDARD VERSION

A: Extraction panel down/OFF switch

This serves to close the extraction panel either completely or in intermediate positions above
180 mm from the cook top. When the extraction panel is being closed, it will remain in opera­tion until it reaches 180 mm above the cook top. Below this height, the extraction function will
switch off automatically.

B: Extraction panel up ON/Speed 1

This serves to bring the extraction panel up to a maximum height of 00 mm and to auto­matically set the first extraction speed when the panel reaches a height of 180 mm. Pressing
the button when this height is reached makes it possible to place the extraction panel in the
required intermediate positions, up to a maximum of 00 mm, while leaving the extraction
speed of the motor unchanged.

C: Speed 2 switch

D: Speed 3 switch

E: Speed 4 switch

These serve to set the respective suction speeds after the extraction panel has reached 180 mm
above the cook top and to set the height of the extraction panel to a maximum of 00 mm by
pressing the same button.

F: 10-minute timer

This is used to switch off the extraction system automatically as well as to close the extraction
panel 10 minutes after it has been enabled.

Model SDD2 TOUCH CONTROL VERSION (Fig. 1)

OFF switch: (Fig. 1) It is used to close the aspiration panel completely or to position it at inter-

mediate heights at least mm 180 above the cooktop. While closing the aspiration panel keeps
on working at the speed set up to the height of mm 180 from the cooktop. Below this height
the aspiration function is automatically cut out.

On switch/+: (Fig. 1) It is used to extract the aspiration panel up to the maximum height of
mm. 00 and to set automatically the first aspiration speed when reaching the height of mm
180 from the cooktop.
When pressing the button again after reaching this height, the aspiration motor speed can be
encreased.
If the aspiration panel is positioned at an intermediate height between mm 180 and mm 00, the
aspiration panel can start raising again by pressing first the OFF switch and then the On/+.

4/ CLEANING THE HOOD

Careful maintenance helps guarantee proper operation and good results from an appliance
over time.

GB

The hood must be unplugged from the electrical power source, both by unplugging

the appliance from the socket as well as de-activating the breaker, before removing the
metal filters. After cleaning, you must replace the metal filters as outlined in the instruc­tions.

MAINTENANCE HOW TO PROCEED?

External surfaces and acces-

sories

Filter cartridge

Active carbon filter

Do not use metallic scrub­bers, abrasive products, or

hard brushes.

After 30 hours’ operation,
the button pad will signal
that the grease filter is sa­turated by flashing the 4
speed LEDs. Press the timer

button to reset .

In the recirculation mode,
you must substitute the acti-

ve carbon filter periodically.
To remove the fibre panel you
must first remove the anti­grease grill and pull the pla­stic knob on the panel itself,
removing it from its housing.
To replace the active carbon
filter, do the reverse. Replace
the used carbon filter on an
average of every six months.

ACCESSORY PRODUCTS TO

USE

To clean the external sur­faces of the hood 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.

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 present a fire
risk. Refit the grease filters
and front panel, making sure
that the panel is properly
fitted at the sides so that it
does not cause the down-

draft to stop operating.
