or as few elbows as possible.
CAUTION: Vent unit to outside of building, only.
2. At least two people are necessary for installation. Wear
gloves to protect against sharp edges.
3. Fittings material is provided to secure the hood to most
types of walls/ceilings, consult a Qualified Installer,
check if they perfectly fit with your cabinet/wall.
4. Do not use fle x ducting.
5. COLD WEATHER installations should have an additional
backdraft damper installed to minimize backward cold air
flow and a nonmetallic thermal break to minimize
conduction of outside temperatures as part of the
ductwork. The damper should be on the cold air side of
the thermal break.
The break should be as close as possible to where the
ducting enters the heated portion of the house.
6. Make up air: Local b uilding codes may require the use of
Make-Up Air Systems when using Ducted Ventilation
Systems greater than specified CFM of air movement.
The specified CFM varies from locale to locale. Consult

manual, is declined.
Venting methods
The hood is equipped with a transition B for discharge of fumes to the outside (Ducting version).
Should it not be possible to discharge cooking fumes and vapour to the outside, the hood can be used in the Ductless (Recirculating) version. Attach a charcoal filter and the deflector F on the duct cover support bracket G. Fumes and vapours
are recycled through the top grille H by means of a duct connected to the transition B and the transition mounted on the
deflector F.
NOTE: For ductless (Recirculating) version only: purchase the Ductless Recirculating Kit.
Minimum Duct Size (Ducting/Ductless version): 8" Round Pipe.
Preparation
Do not cut a joist or stud unless absolutely necessary. If a joist or stud must be cut, then a supporting frame must be
constructed.
Fittings material is provided to secure the hood to most types of walls/ceilings.
However, a qualified technician must verify suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of wall/ceiling.
Before making cutouts, make sure there is proper clearance within the ceiling or wall for exhaust vent.
Hood installation height above cooktop is the users preference. The lower the hood is above the cooktop, the more efficient the
capturing of cooking odors, grease and smoke.
CAUTION: FOR GAS RANGES INSTALLATION: MOUNT THIS HOOD SO THAT THE BOTTOM EDGE IS NOT LESS
THAN 30" (76,2 CM) ABOVE THE COOKING SURFACE.
FOR ELECTRIC RANGES INSTALLATION: MOUNT THIS HOOD SO THAT THE BOTTOM EDGE IS NOT LESS THAN 24"

Controls
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.
Description of control panel
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 control panel is
equipped with a LED light that changes colors 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 (read instructions
found under “Reset and configuration for filter saturation signal”)
Coal filters must be cleaned or replaced: FLASHING ORANGE (amber) LED
light (read instructions found under “Reset and configuration for filter saturation
signal”)
Note: The reset procedure may be activated by both the control panel and the
remote control.
Center light check
The center light may be switched on and off by pressing the T2 button on the
control panel.
Side light check (when scheduled)
The side lights may be switched on and off by pressing AND HOLDING DOWN the
T2 button on the control panel.
HOLDING DOWN the button, besides permitting to switch the hood on and off, it
also regulates the light intensity given from the lights.
Note: The switching on and off functions (and regulating function) alternate.
The regulation of the light intensity is not available for hoods with neon lights.
Reset and configuration for filter saturation signal
Switch on hood to any speed (see above paragraph “Suction speed (power)
selection”)
Reset grease filter saturation signal (FLASHING GREEN LIGHT on control
panel)
First proceed with filter maintenance as described in corresponding
paragraph.
Press and hold down (for more than 3 seconds) the T1 button on the control panel,
the LED light will stop flashing indicating that the signal reset has been carried out,
the hood will switch off.
Reset coal filter saturation signal (FLASHING ORANGE (amber) LED light)
First proceed with filter maintenance as described in corresponding
paragraph.
Press and hold down (for more than 3 seconds) the T1 button on the control panel,
the LED light will stop flashing indicating that the signal reset has been carried out,
the hood will switch off.
Coal filter saturation signal disactivaction (for particular applications)
Switch off hood (see above paragraph “suction speed (power) selection”).
Press and hold down (for more than 5 seconds) the T1 button on the control panel,
the LED light will start flashing GREEN indicating that the coal filter saturation
