How to calculate the MAXIMUM ALLOWED extension
of the telescopic structure (operation 1):
a)measure the distance (in millimeters) from the ceiling

to the hob;

b)subtract 1000 mm from this measurement for gas or

combination hobs; for electric hobs subtract 1100
mm;

c)the measurement obtained is the MAXIMUM extension

of the telescopic structure.

Use of the hood

It is advisable to switch on the extractor hood a
few minutes before starting cooking and then
to leave it running for approximately 5 minutes
afterwards to ensure that all odours are
extracted.
Use the slow speed in normal conditions and
the fast speed with heavy fumes or odours.

This speed should be used when the
concentration of cooking fumes or odours
is particularly strong (for example when
frying, cooking fish etc.). The fast speed

speed was selected. To turn off the fast
speed, before the end of the 5 minutes,

Maintenance

Before performing any maintenance operation,
isolate the hood from the electrical supply by
switching off at the connector and removing the
connector fuse.
Or if the appliance has been connected through
a plug and socket, then the plug must be
removed from the socket.

Metal grease filter

This holds back suspended grease parti­cles.

The metal grease filter lasts forever and must
be washed either by hand or in the dishwasher
(65°C) with suitable detergents.
Let the metal filter dry without damaging it
before putting it back into place.
ìThe metal grease filters must be washed at
least once a month and anyhow whenever the

metal grease filter saturation led (Speed 2
LED) indicates the saturation of the filter.

This LED warns you when the metal grease
filter needs to be cleaned.
This LED flashes to warn you that the metal
grease filters must be cleaned.
Generally, these must be cleaned after 40
hours of use.
Once the grease filters have been cleaned,
press button A and button H at the same time
for about two seconds until you hear the acoustic

Attention

Failure to observe the instructions for cleaning
the appliance and changing and cleaning the
filters may cause fires.
Therefore, we recommend observing these
instructions.

Replacing the lamp - Fig. 4

— Unplug the appliance from the mains
— Remove the burnt lamp.
— Use only 20 W (max) halogen lamps.
— Fit the new lamp ensuring that the two male

contacts of the lamp fit perfectly into the
female contacts of the lamp holder.

Warning!

— The hood cannot be connected to flues of

other appliances that run on energy sources
other than electricity.

— When the hood is used at the same time of

other appliances that run on energy sources
other than electricity, provision must be
made for an adequate supply of air.

— No food must be cooked flambé underneath

the hood.
The use of an unprotected flame is
dangerous for the filters and could cause
fires.
Therefore, never use an open flame under
the hood. When frying foods, never leave
the pan alone because the cooking oil could
flare up.

— Please, keep to the provisions of official

directives regarding the question of fume
discharge.

— The manufacturers refuse to accept any

responsibility for damage to the hood or its
catching on fire because of failure to observe
the above instructions.

— A constant maintenance guarantees a good

operation and good performance of the unit.

— The best performance of the unit is obtained

in the exhaust mode, therefore in the limits
of the possibilities it is advised to use the
cooker hood in this way.

— The best performances are obtained with

short pipes and with few curves.

— In order to eliminate loss of heat towards the

outside; in the winter period the unit can be
used in the recycling (filtering) mode.

— In the event of fire, disconnect immediately

the unit from the power supply remove the
source of fire (pots, etc.).

Installation

When installed, the distance between hood
and burners must be not less than 65 cm.

above electric burners or 65 cm. above gas or

mixed-fuel burners (Fig. 5, H).
The hood is fitted with wall plugs suitable for
many types of ceilings.
In any case consult a qualified technician in
order to know the rightmess of tools according
to the ceiling.

Appliance fitted with plug.

Connect it to a socket which conforms with
current regulations.
If you intend to connect it directly to the electric
mains, remove the plug and fit an approved
bipolar switch with a minimum contact opening
of no less than 3mm.
If the plug is not accessible once it has been
inserted in the socket, it will however be
necessary to fit an approved bipolar switch with
a minimum contact opening of no less than
3mm.

Appliance without plug

Fit an approved plug or an approved bipolar
switch with a minimum contact opening of not
less than 3mm.
The manufacturers are not liable for any
problems caused by the user’s failure to
observer the above instructions.

Systems available

Two systems are available:

Exhaust mode

Vapours are extracted outside through an

exhausting pipe (not supplied) that is

affixed to the connection ring above the hood
(Fig. 5).
Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal
to that of the connection ring.
In the horizontal runs the duct 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 carbon filter,
then it must be removed.

Recirculation mode
(F - See the installation diagram)

The air is filtered through a carbon filter and
recirculated into the room through the grid on
the higher part of the chimney (Fig. 5).
