Use:Two systems are available

Exhaust mode (S)

Vapours are extracted outside through an
exhausting pipe that is affixed to the
connection ring above the rangehood.
Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be
equal to that of the connection ring.

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

Filter version (K)

The air and vapours are filtered through an
active carbon filter (for its installation see
paragraph "Active carbon filter") and
recirculated into the room through the grating
on the lower side of the chimney.

Attention!

If the rangehood is not supplied with carbon

filter, then it must be ordered and mounted.

This version is used when there is no
exhausting pipe for venting outdoors or
when it is impossible to install one.

Installation

When installed, the distance between

rangehood and burners must be not less
65 cm above electric, gas or mixed fuel

burners.

Electric connection

The electrical tension must correspond to
the tension noted on the label placed inside
the rangehood. Connect the electrical plug
where provided, to the an easily accessible
outlet in conformity with local standards
in force.
Where an electrical plug is 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.

Fastening of shelves (optional)

Fasten the four side supports I to the
adjacent cabinets and place the shelf on
the supports (Fig. 4).

Using the rangehood

—The rangehood is provided with a motor

with several speeds.

For the best performance, we
recommend using the low speeds in
normal conditions and the high speeds
in particular cases of strong odour and
vapour concentration.

—We recommend starting up the rangehood

a few minutes before cooking and keeping
it running until all the odours have been
eliminated.

Maintenance

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

Metal grease filter (2 or 3 pieces)

The metal grease filters last forever and
must be washed either by hand or in the
dishwasher (65°C) with suitable detergents.

NOTE: The metal grease filters may discolour
however this will not affect their performance.

Model with slider switches panel

The metal grease filters must be washed at
least once a month.

Model with electronic control panel

The metal grease filters must be washed at
least once a month or whenever the LED 4

grease filters need to be cleaned.

Generally, these must be cleaned after 40
hours of use.

Once the grease filters have been cleaned,
press button 1 for about 3 seconds until

LED 4 will now stop flashing.

Remove the metal grease filter using the

handles designed for this purpose by
pulling the filter backwards and then
downwards (Fig. 1).
Let the metal grease filters dry without
damaging before putting back into place.
Carry out the above steps in reverse order
to put the metal grease filters back after
having washed them.

Active carbon filter (2 pieces)

This filter dissolves cooking odours.
The active carbon filter must never be
washed.

Model with slider switches panel

The active carbon filter should be changed
every 4 months when in normal use.

The LED 5 will now stop flashing.

Mounting and replacing the active carbon
filter:
a)Disconnect the hood from the electricity.
b)Remove the metal grease filters (Fig. 1).
c)If the active carbon filters have not been

installed, place one active carbon filter
on each side so that they cover the grates
protecting the rotor on the motor. Then
turn the center handle for the active carbon
filters in the clockwise direction (Fig. 2).

d)If the active carbon filters have already

been installed (covering the grates
protecting the rotor on the motor) and
must be replaced, turn the central handle
in a counter-clockwise direction until the
active carbon filters are unlocked.

e)Refit the the metal grease filters.

Wipe brushed stainless steel in the same
direction as the brushing to avoid
scratching.
Clean the external surface of the rangehood
approximately once every 10 days.

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