Use

The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting or filter
version.

Ducting version

The hood is equipped with a top air outlet B for discharge of
fumes to the outside (exhaust pipe and pipe fixing clamps not
provided).

Attention! If the hood is supplied with carbon filter, then it
must be removed.

Filter version

Should it not be possible to discharge cooking fumes and
vapour to the outside, the hood can be used in the filter
version, fitting an activated carbon filter and the deflector F
on the support (bracket) G, fumes and vapours are recycled
through the top grille H by means of an exhaust pipe
connected to the top air outlet B and the connection ring
mounted on the deflector F (exhaust pipe and pipe fixing
clamps not provided).

Attention! If the hood is not supplied with carbon filter,
then it must be ordered and mounted.

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

The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the
cooking equipment on the hob and the lowest part of the
range hood must be not less than 50cm from electric cookers
and 50cm from gas or mixed cookers.
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a
greater distance, this must be adhered to.

Electrical connection

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, after
installation. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection)
or if the plug is not located in an accessible area, after
installation, apply a double pole switch in accordance with
standards which assures the complete disconnection of the
mains under conditions relating to over-current 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.
The hood is provided with a special power cable ; if the cable
is damaged, request a new one from Technical Service.

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).

Automatic start-up function

The hood is equipped with a temperature sensor which
activates the motor to the first suction speed (power) in the
event that the temperature in the surrounding area is higher
than 70°C.
The user may switch off or modify the suction speed (power)
(see paragraph “suction speed (power) control”).

Suction speed (power) control

The suction speed (power) is cyclical depending on the speed
sequence “stand-by – 1-2-3-4- Stand by -1-2-...” therefore
every time the T1 button is pressed on the control panel, the
suction speed (power) is increased by one level, in order to
switch off (stand-by) if the button is pressed again when the
hood is in suction speed (power) 4.
The hood may be switched off (stand-by) while the hood is set
on any speed by holding down the T1 button on the control
panel for a bit longer (more than 3 seconds).
The hood's suction speed (power) may be determined as the

as follows, depending on the suction speed (power):

Hood in stand-by: LED LIGHT SWITCHED OFF
1st suction speed (power) -GREEN LED LIGHT
2nd suction speed (power) – ORANGE LED LIGHT (amber)
3rd suction speed (power) - RED LED LIGHT
4th suction speed (power) - RED LED LIGHT (FLASHING)
Note: The 4th suction speed (power) stays on for 5 minutes,

after which the suction motor will position itself on the 2nd
speed.
If pressed again, the suction motor will switch off (stand-by).

Grease filters need cleaning: FLASHING GREEN LED light
