The hood is equipped with safety switches which inhibit
operation when the front filter panel is unhooked.
With the intention of constantly improving our products, we
reserve the right to make all the changes in their technical,
functional or design characteristics, deriving from their
evolution. In case of the version with external motor, the
normal operation of the hood requires the use of a suction unit
(external motor) of the same manufacturer.
This appliance is marked according to the European directive
2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE). By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you
will help prevent potential negative consequences for the

accompanying the product, indicates that this appliance may
not be treated as household waste. Instead it should be taken
to the appropriate collection point for the recycling of electrical
and electronic equipment. Disposal must be carried out in
accordance with local environmental regulations for waste
disposal.
Use
The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting or filter
version.
Ducting version
In this case the fumes are conveyed outside by means of a
special pipe connected with the connection ring located on top
of the hood.
Attention! The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be
purchased apart.
Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the
connection ring = 150mm.
In the horizontal runs the exhausting pipe must be slightly
slanted (about 10°) and directed upwards to vent the air easily
from the room to the outside.
Attention! If the hood is supplied with active charcoal filter,
then it must be removed.
Filter version
One active charcoal filter is needed for this and can be
obtained from your usual retailer.
The filter removes the grease and smells from the extracted
air before sending it back into the room through the upper
outlet grid.
Note: The recycled air in the charcoal filter is sent back to the
kitchen through a duct which conveys air on a side of the
cabinet (Fig. 11).
Non-return valve locking
Attention, before connecting the flexible air outlet pipe make
sure that the non-return valves of the suction unit can freely
rotate (Fig. 12).
The models with no suction motor only operate in ducting
mode, and must be connected to an external suction device
(not supplied).
The connecting instructions are supplied with the peripheral
suction unit.
Installation
When installing the product, it is recommended to keep a
minimum distance of 400mm between the worktop and any
components laid on top of the hood.
This is to let the suction panel move upwards (opening) and
downwards (closing) without any obstacles, and to facilitate
access to the hood controls on the panel.
WARNING: Put the metal box containing the electronic
components at a distance not shorter than 65 cm from the gas
hob or 65 cm from the hood suction point.
RECOMMENDATION: We recommend you to install the
metal box containing the electronic components at a distance
of at least 10 cm from the ground and sufficiently from all the
sources of heat (e.g.: side of an oven or hob).
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a
greater distance, this must be adhered to.
Electrical connection
The hood must be connected to the mains supply by qualified
and trained technicians.
The mains power supply must correspond to the rating
indicated on the plate situated inside the hood. If provided with
a plug connect the hood to a socket in compliance with current
regulations and positioned in an accessible area. If it not fitted
with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not
located in an accessible area apply a double pole switch in
accordance with standards which assures the complete
disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to overcurrent category III, in accordance with installation
instructions.
Warning! Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains
supply and checking the efficient function, always check that
the mains cable is correctly assembled.
Warning! Power cable replacement must be undertaken by
the authorised service assistance centre or similar qualified
person.
Mounting
Before starting to mount the appliance, make sure that no
component is damaged, otherwise contact the dealer and stop
mounting. In addition, read all the instructions below carefully.
• Use an air outlet pipe no longer than 5 metres.
• Limit the number of curves in the duct since each curve
reduces the suction effectiveness equivalent to 1 linear
metre. (E.g.: if two 90° curves are used, the duct should
be no longer than 3 metres).
• Avoid drastic changes of direction.
• Use a duct with 150mm diameter constant for the whole
length.
• Use a duct made of standard complying material.
• Remove the safety shim highlighted in the picture (Fig. 1-
2) at the end of the installation.
• In case of failure to observe the instructions above, the
supplier can not be held responsible for capacity or noise
problems and no warranty will be granted.
• Before making the hole, make sure that the inside of the
cabinet, near the hood housing area, does not have the
structure of the cabinet or other particulars which may
cause problems for the proper installation. Make sure
that the overall dimensions of the hood and the hob ae
compatible with the cabinet and therefore the installation
is feasible.
• Make a 848x100mm rectangular hole on the back of the
hob.
• In case of version with motor already mounted, remove
the screws and the suction unit to insert the hood into the
hole made.
• Install the hood in the hole made, inserting it from above,
as shown (Fig. 3). In case of version with motor on
board, it is necessary to remove the suction unit before
inserting the product into the cabinet.
• Fix the hood inside the cainet using the special brackets
supplied (Fig. 4). Start mounting the brackets in the lower
part of the hood (Fig. 5a) making sure that there is a
distance of 2 mm between the lower part of the bracket
and the cabinet bottom (Fig. 5b). This distance allows
the traction of the product downwards on fixing, (Fig. 5c),
so that the stainless steel frame adheres perfectly on the
worktop.
• Before inserting the screws into the cabinet, make sure
that the product is perfectly perpendicular to the worktop.
• After completing the installation and connecting the
product to the power supply, lift the hood and remove the
door lock (Fig. 6).
• In case of version with motor on board start mounting the
motor unit directing the air outlet to the chosen position
downwards or upwards (Fig. 7b). The motor can be
installed on both the front side and the back one of the
hood. Once the installationof the motor has been
comleted, start mounting the duct for the air outlet.
• In case of version with external motor put the suction unit
(external motor) in a suitable area and arrange the air
outlet duct. Start mounting the air outlet duct between the
external motor and the hood. Select the air outlet among
the five possibilities (Fig. 7a) and install the union
supplied.
• Put the metal box containing the electronic components
in an easily accessible area for any assistance
operations (Fig. 8), connecting the electric connectors of
the same to the hood: pushbutton panel connector (Fig.
9a), 9-pole connector (Fig. 9b), neon connector (Fig. 9c)
• In applications with external motor, connect the cable of
the motor unit to the special connector on the electronic
component box (Fig. 10a) in case an external control unit
SEM7 is used connect the 2-pole connector as well (Fig.
10b)
• Connect the product to the power supply
Operation
Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen
vapours. It is recommended that the cooker hood suction is
switched on for 5 minutes prior to cooking and to leave in
operation during cooking and for another 15 minutes
approximately after terminating cooking.
The hood is equipped with a “TOUCH” device to control the
lights and speed.
For the correct use please carefully read the intructions below.
The cooker hood can be controlled through a remote control
available as accessory kit (see the paragraph relating to the
functioning of the remote control).
• Key T1: delays hood switching off timing the speed set
for some minutes.
By such function, when the timing is elapsed, the hood
switches off.
The timing is divided as follows:
• suction speed (power) 1: 20 minutes
• suction speed (power) 2: 15 minutes
• suction speed (power) 3: 10 minutes
• suction speed (power) 4: 5 minutes
When keys T2 and T3 are pressed, the hood leaves the
timed function and the suction speed (power) increases
or decreases according to the key pressed. During the
timing phase the LED related to the corresponding speed
flashes.
• Key T2: Decreases the active suction speed (power)
(4→3→2→1→OFF).
The speed is displayed through the LED related to the
corresponding speed.
Key T2 has no effect on the opening/closure of the
suction panel.
• Key T3: Increases the active suction speed (power)
(1→2→3→4).
The speed is displayed through the LED related to the
corresponding speed.
Note: If the panel is closed (hood is off) key T3 activates
the opening of the suction panel first and then sets the
hood to the suction speed (power) 1.
• Key T4: Switches on the light
Note: If the suction panel is closed (hood is off) key T4
activates the opening of the suction panel first and then
switches on the light.
• Key T5: Opens (Lifts) and closes (lowers) the suction
panel.
With the hood switched off and the panel closed, key T5
opens the suction panel first and then sets the hood to
the suction speed (power) 1.
With the hood switched on (at any speed) and the panel
open, key T5 switches off the hood first (and, if they are
on, it switches off the lights as well) and then closes the
suction panel.
Additional operating information
During the removal of the front panel due to cleaning and
maintenance operations, all the electronic functions of suction
and movement are locked.
Anti-pinch safety: if an obstacle obstructs the closure of the
Downdraft, the closure is stopped and the trolley goes up.
Grease Filter saturation signal.

Operation anomalies
The hood does not work
Make sure that:
• There is no current blackout
• A speed has been effectively selected.
• The panel is correctly hooked.
• The 9-pole connection is well inserted (Picture 9b).
• The red reset key above the electric system box is
pressed.
• The wires in the 9-pole connection are well inserted into
the connector. (During connection, exerting an
overpressure may cause the contacts to bend).
The hood has low efficiency
Make sure that:
• The motor speed selected is sufficient for the quantity of
fumes present
• The kitchen is aired enough to allow an air intake and the
charcoal filter is not worn out (filter version hood).
• The air outlet pipe is not clogged.
• The suction unit non-return valves can rotate freely.
The hood stops during operation
Make sure that:
• There is no current blackout
• The differential magnetothermal switch (automatic circuit
breaker) has not been released.
Maintenance
Attention! Before any cleaning or maintenance operation,
disconnect the hood from the power supply removing the
plug or switching off the master switch of the house or
pressing the red button in the control box (Fig. 13c).
At the end of the clearing or maintenance operations on
the hood or the filters, put the front panel and the filters
back to their place following the instructions, checking
the correct installation and hooking, otherwise the hood
will not switch on.
Cleaning
The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly (at least with the
same frequency with which you carry out maintenance of the
fat filters) internally and externally. Clean using the cloth
dampened with neutral liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive
products. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!
WARNING: Failure to carry out the basic cleaning
recommendations of the cooker hood and replacement of the
filters may cause fire risks.
Therefore, we recommend oserving these instructions.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to
the motor or any fire damage linked to inappropriate
maintenance or failure to observe the above safety
recommendations.
Grease filter
Traps cooking grease particles.
This must be cleaned once a month (or when the filter
saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in
possession – indicates this necessity) using non aggressive
detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must
be set to a low temperature and a short cycle.
When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolour
slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.
Mounting and dismounting of the grease filters and charcoal
filters must be carried out with the pul-out drawer of the hood
in open position. For this, press key ON/1. Then remove the
front panel pushing at the same time on the upper part of each
side (Fig. 13). The panel rotates forward, letting the grease
filters enter (Fig. 14).
Charcoal filter (filter version only)
It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.
The saturation of the activated charcoal occurs after more or
less prolonged use, depending on the type of cooking and the
regularity of cleaning of the grease filter.
In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least
every four mounths.
The carbon filter may NOT be washed or regenerated.
After removing the grease filter, it is possible to insert the
charcoal filters (Fig. 15) (not supplied).
Replacing lamps
Disconnect the hood from the electricity.
Warning! Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are
