Consult the designs in the front pages referenced in the text by
alphabet letters. Closely follow the instructions set out in
this manual. Merloni does not accept responsability for any
damage caused through non complying with the instructions in
this manual.

Use: The cooker hood is provided with an upper air exit A with
connection ring B, a discharge tube (not provided) should be
mounted on the ring for discharging fumes and vapours
externally (Suction Version). Where external discharge of
cooking fumes and vapours is not possible the cooker hood
may be used in the filter version by mounting a carbon filter,
a discharge tube should be connected to the ring in order to expel
the fumes above the cabinet. The models without suction
motors function only in the suction version and must be
connected to a peripheral suction unit (not supplied).

Installation: The cooker hood must be positioned at least 65
cm from the cook top for electrical cookers and 75 cm for gas
or mixed cookers.
The hood can be installed above these heights but for optimum
performance it should be installed at the distance quoted for the
appropriate heat source. This cooker hood is designed to be
fitted to a cabinet or similar support.
Carry out the following instructions for affixing the cooker hood:
Create an opening in the bottom of the cabinet to insert the cooker
hood, and drill a hole on the top of the cabinet to fit the discharge
tube, connect the cooker hood to an external pipe, predispose
the electrical connection, remove the grill or the anti-grease filter,
remove the frame C (if provided) by pressing on the two release
hooks D (according to the model in possession, the release
hook button D may be located externally or inside the cooker
hood below the grease filter / grill), insert the cooker hood in the
opening (lock in the lateral clasps E if provided by tightening the
locking screws F), finally fix the cooker hood to the cabinet with
wood screws G supplied. Remount the frame C (if provided),
and suction grill H.

Electrical connection: The supply voltage must correspond
to the voltage label inside the cooker hood.
Where provided, connect the plug directly into the main socket.
Where an electrical plug is not provided (for direct connection
to electrical network) place a standards approved bipolar switch
with an aperture distance of not less than 3mm (accessible) from
the contacts.

Caution: This appliance is designed to be operated by adults.
Children should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or
play with the appliance.
Do not use the cooker hood where the grill is not correctly fixed!
The suctioned air must not be conveyed in the same channel
used for fumes discharged by appliances powered by other
than electricity. The environment must always be adequately
aerated when the cooker hood and other appliances powered
by other than electricity are used at the same time. Flambé
cooking with a cooker hood is prohibited. The use of a free flame
is damaging to the filters and may cause fire accidents, therefore
free flame cooking must be avoided. Frying of foods must be
kept under close control in order to avoid overheated oil catching
fire. Carry out fumes discharging in accordance with the
regulations in force by local laws for safety and technical
restrictions.

Operation

The control panel is supplied with a switch to select the suction
speed and lighting.
The switch is located on the side of the suction grill H.
Use the higher suction speed for greater levels of cooking
vapours. It is recommended to switch on the appliance 5
minutes prior to cooking and for at least 15 minutes after cooking.

Maintenance
Prior to any maintenance operation ensure that the
cooker hood is disconnected from the electrical outlet.

Anti-grease filter ­May be one of the following if located inside the support
grill:

Paper filter should be replaced once a month or sooner, if
coloured on the upper side or when the coloration is visible in
the grill holes.
Sponge filter should be washed with hot soapy water once
a month and replaced every 5/6 washes.
Metallic filter should be cleaned once a month, with non
abrasive detergents, by hand or in dishwasher at low temperature
and short cycle.
When washed in a dish washer, the grease filter may discolour
slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.
To access the grease filter J open the suction grill H via the
release hooks L and free from the supports K.
Some models are provided with a metallic filter M without
support grill, these should be washed as described above
and removed from their housing by pressing the N handles
towards the bottom.

Carbon Filter (only for filter version)

The active carbon filter is not washable nor reusable. The active
carbon filter captures all the undesirable cooking vapours. It

is mounted inside the cooker hood covering the motor protection
grill, it should be replaced every 4 months  and may be one
of the following:
Rectangular: position the filter P in order to cover the motor
protection grill and turn the handle clockwise until locked-in, for
dismounting follow instructions in reverse.
Bayonet Circular-Insert position the filter in the centre (in
certain cases use the Z hooks for centring the filter) in order to
cover the motor protection grill ensuring that the X reference on
the carbon filter corresponds to the Y reference on the conveyor,
then turn clockwise; for dismounting follow instructions in
reverse.

Cleaning: The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly
internally and externally. For cleaning use a cloth moistened
with neutral liquid detergents. Avoid abrasive detergents.
Failure to carry out the basic standards of the cleaning of
the cooker hood and replacement of the filters may cause
fire risks.

Lightbulb replacement: Remove the anti-grease filter
support grill or the anti-grease filter to access the lamp area.
Remove the damaged lightbulb and replace with an incan­descent oval bulb maximum 40W E14. In the case where
model is provided with a halogen lightbulb, replace with
halogen bulb of 20W (GU5.3 - Ø50mm).
