1/ SAFETY INSTRUCTION
Important: keep these instructions for use with the appliance. If the appliance should be
sold or passed on to others, make sure that the instructions are passed on with it. We thank
you for taking note of these suggestions before installing and using the appliance. They have
been written for your personal safety and the safety of others.
These hoods have been designed for personal use in the home. The appliance must be used
by adults. Make sure that children do not come into contact with the appliance and that they
do not use it to play with. Make sure that children do not operate the controls.
-
When the appliance is delivered, check the overall appearance of the packaging.
Any remarks should be written on the delivery coupon, of which you keep a copy.
Your appliance is designed for normal domestic use.
It is not designed for commercial or industrial use, or for purposes other than those for which it
was designed.
- Any consequences of or damage from incorrect installation or incorrect use of the appliance will
not be covered by the manufacturer’s guarantee.
- 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.
-
The minimum distance between the open down draft and the surface above it needs to be 400
mm.
-
When moving the down draft, never place hands inside the operating radius of the pull-out car-
riage.
- The downdraft is equipped with safety switches that block it from functioning, when the front
panel of the grease filters has been disengaged.
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 starting the appliance installation, please check that all components are not damaged, in such a
case contact your retailer and do not carry out installation.
Furthermore, please read carefully all of the following installation instructions.
- Use an exhausting pipe whose maximum length does not exceed 5 meters.
- Limit the no. of elbows in the piping , since each elbow reduces the aspiration efficiency of 1 linear
meter. (Ex. : if you use no. 2 x 90 ° elbows, the length of piping l must not exceed 3 meters)
- Avoid abrupt direction changes.
- Use a 150 mm constant diameter pipe for the whole length .
- Use piping approved by standards in force.
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, 790 x 100 mm in size, in the back of the cook top for the 90 cm model
and 490 x 100 mm for the 60 cm model and 1090x100mm for the 120cm 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.
4)
Put the Downdraft in the opening, inserting it from above as shown in Fig. 12.
5) Fix the downdraft inside the cabinet, using the special fixing brackets supplied with the product.
(Fig.13a).
Insert the brackets in the lower side of the downdraft (Fig.13b), in such a way that there is a 2 mm dis-
tance between the lower side of bracket and the bottom of the cabinet. (Fig.13c).
This distance will allow the traction to be positioned downwards of the product, at the moment of fixing,
in order to have the stainless steel trim perfectly adhering with the work surface.
Before inserting the screws, please make sure that the appliance is perfectly perpendicular with the work
surface.
6)
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) and place the filters as
illustrated in Fig. 11.
7)
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.
8)
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 mo-
tor and the down draft. Select an air outlet from the five possibilities (Fig. 21) and fit the connection
provided.
9)
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).
10)
For outside motors, connect the motor unit cable to the relevant connector on the electrical compo-
nents box.
11)
Power the appliance.

, then proceed to insert the downdraft into the unit.
Downdraft calibration
After having installed the Downdraft, it is necessary to start the calibration procedure, which is aimed at
adjusting the extraction strength of the filtering unit.
sure that it is conformed to the supply voltage indicated on the technical data tag. Pushing the ON/1
button (Fig. 22B for SDD2 and 15H for SDD2 TC) the aspiration panel rises. After it has reached a
height of 180 mm from the cooketop, press OFF, to stop the extraction then the Timer and after 2 sec.
