Systems Available

Venting Outdoors

The air is vented outdoors through a duct
which must be connected to the exhaust
opening K (Fig. 5) by means of the flange
H. The diameter of the exhaust duct must
be exactly the same as that of the flange
– 120mm.

Air Recirculation

— The air is cleaned by means of

charcoal filters and then circulated
back into the room.

— The use of a charcoal filter is

necessary when the rangehood
cannot vented outdoors either
because ducting is not available or
cannot be installed.

Installation

When installed, the distance between the
rangehood and cooktop must be at least
650mm from gas, electric or mixed
cooktops. Please confirm these
measurements with your local gas,
electrical and building authority.

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 rangehood
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

6

be adequately aerated when the
rangehood and other appliances powered
by other than electricity are used at the
same time. Flambé cooking with a
rangehood 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.
The manufacturers refuse to accept any
responsibility for damage to the
rangehood or its catching on fire because
of failure to observe the above
instructions.

Electrical 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 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.

— If the sides of the cupboards are 18

mm thick, insert 4 spacers M on the

sides of the rangehood (Fig. 9)
— Fix the rangehood to the cupboard

using four screws N (Fig. 9).

Adjusting the Pull-Out Drawer

The rangehood can be installed beneath
cabinets with varying depths.
Adjustments for opening and closing the
drawer can be made based on your
specific needs.
To adjust the drawer, remove the
ventilation grates by loosening the O
screws and adjusting the P brackets.
Then retighten the O screws (Fig. 10).

Using the rangehood

The rangehood is provided with several
speeds. For the best performance, we
recommend using the low speeds in
normal conditions and the high speeds
when strong odour and vapour
concentrations are present. We
recommend starting the rangehood a few
minutes before cooking and keeping it
running for at least 15 minutes until all the
odours have been eliminated.

Mounting the Rangehood

The diameter of the ventilation duct must
be the same as that of the flange
mounted on the ventilation hole on the
rangehood – 120mm.
To mount the rangehood proceed as
follows:

— Position the drilling template inside

the left cupboard on the right hand
side with the arrow point towards the
back on the cupboard (Fig. 8)

— Drill the holes marked on the

template (Fig. 8)

— Repeat the procedure for the right

hand cupboard

Maintenance

Caution! Before performing any
maintenance, disconnect the

odours that form during the cooking
process. Under normal use conditions,
the filter should be replaced every 4
months. For replacement charcoal filters
