Preliminary information for installation of the hood:
Disconnect the hood during electrical connection, by
turning the home mains switch off.
Expansion wall plugs are 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. The
wall/ceiling must be strong enough to take the weight
of the hood.
Do not tile, grout or silicone th is appliance to the wall.
Surface mounting only.
Do not fix chimney flue to furniture or fly over shelves
unless the chimney flue can be easily removed, in
case maintenance is ever required.

of the range hood must be not less than 50cm from
electric cookers and 65 cm from gas or mixed cookers.
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify
a greater distance, this must be adhered to.
1. Using a pencil, draw a line on the wall, extending up
to the ceiling, to mark the centre. This will facili tate
installation.
2. Rest the drilling template against the wall: the
vertical centre line printed on the drilling template must
correspond to the centre line drawn on the wall, and
the bottom edge of the drilling template must
correspond to the bottom edge of the hood: bear in
mind that, when installation is complete, the underside
of the hood must be at least 50 cm above the cooker
top in the case of electric cookers, and at least 65 cm
above the cooker top in the case of gas or mixed
cookers.

Operation
! We advise switching the hood on, at minimum power,
before beginning to cook to favour the optimal
expulsion of odours. In addition we advise turning it off
every time 10/15 minutes after finishing cooking.
! We advise frying under the hood only under constant
supervision.
! It is forbidden to cook flambé under the hood
because there is the risk of causing a fire.
The best performance of the apparatus is obtained
with external expulsion: we advise using the hood in
this version if possible.
External exhausting 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 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 u pwards 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.
Filtering 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.

Maintenance
! It is always necessary to isolate the hood from the
UK
power supply during cleaning and maintenance.
Therefore remove the plug.
We recommend carrying our maintenance regularly
(about every 10 days) to ensure efficacious and
constant performance of the hood.
Cleaning the hood
The hood should be cleaned frequently, both internally
and externally. Use a cloth damped in neutral
detergent liquids.
Avoid the use of products containing abrasives.
Attention: failure to observe the cleaning regulations of
the hood and the substitution and cleaning of the filters
leads to the risk of fire. We therefore recommend
keeping to the suggested instructions.
Cleaning the grease filters
The fats filter serves to capture the particles of fat in
suspension that come from the cooking.
It must be cleaned once a month with non-aggressive
detergents manually or in a dishwasher at low
temperature and short cycle.
If washed in a dishwasher it can become opaque over
time but its filtering ability is not lessened in any way.
Dismantle it using the corresponding handles, pushing
them backward first and then pulling them down.
After having washed it, dry it carefully and assemble it
again in its seat, reversing the procedure.
Clean the perimeter suction panel (when envisaged)
with the same frequency as the anti-fat filter. Use a
cloth and a not too concentrated liquid detergent.
Never use abrasive substances.
Mounting and changing the filter
To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release

Caution
General safety
! The hood has been designed and constructed in
conformity with international safety regulations. These
warnings are provided for safety reasons and must be
carefully read.
• This apparatus has been designed for use by adults.
Children and invalids are not allowed to use this
•
apparatus without supervision. Check that children do
not play with the apparatus.
• The premises must have sufficient ventilation when
the hood is being used at the same time as other
apparatuses that use gas and other fuels. If the hood
must be installed in a kitchen where there is a waterheater or a gas heating system we recommend, for
safety reasons, not using the suction version. It is
therefore necessary to equip the apparatus with an
active carbon filter, in this way allowing recycling use.
• For safe performance, low pressure should not
exceed 0.04 mbar: in this way re-suction of the
expulsion gas will be avoided. This can be obtained
ensuring entry of air into the room through openings
that cannot be closed.
• The sucked air must not be conveyed in a conduit
used for the discharge of fumes from apparatuses
supplied with energy other than electricity.
It is severely forbidden to cook food on the flame
•
under the hood.
• The use of naked flame damages the filters and can
cause fires. It must therefore be avoided in any case.
• Frying must be carried out under control to avoid the
overheated oil catching fire.
As far as the technical and safety measures to adopt
•
for the discharge of fumes are concerned, keep strictly
to what is envisaged by the regulations of the
competent authorities.
• For any problem regarding the expulsion of fumes,
keep to the instructions of the competent authority.
The company declines any responsibility in the case of
damage or fire caused by apparatus resulting from
failure to observe the above-mentioned instructions.
• Disused domestic appliances can be delivered to
the public collecting service, taken to suitable local
authority areas or, if envisaged by national laws on the
matte r , resold to dealers at th e same ti me as
purchasing new, equivalent, types of product.
• All the main producers of domestic appliances are
active in the creation and management of collecting
systems of disused apparatuses.
! In case of anomalies apply to the authorized technical
assistance service and require original spare parts.
! The information and technical data are subject to
change and the producer, in line with technical
progress, maintains the right to make modifications
that he considers necessary without prior notice.
