Use

Two systems are available:

Exhaust version

The air is vented outdoors by a duct
which must be connected to connect­ing ring A (Fig. 2).

For 90cm. hood

Check if the internal shutter S are opened
before using the hood (Fig. 2).

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

Filter version

The air is filtered through a carbon filter and
recirculated into the room through the grat­ing on the lower side of the chimney.
This version is used when there is no ex­haust duct for venting outdoors or when it
is impossible to install one.
To use the hood in this version, proceed as
follows:
— If no filter is supplied with the hood, ask

the technical assistance service or the
manufacturing company for one and

specify the hood model.
— Remove the grease filters (Fig. 10).
— To install the filter, fit it in the seat at the

front and fasten it at the back with the

two hooks B (Fig. 3).

For 90cm. hood

Attention! Close the shutter S before using
this version of the hood (Fig. 3).
— Refit the grease filter.

Installation

When installed, the hood must be not less
than 65 cm. above electric burners or 75
cm. above gas or mixed-fuel burners. (h,
Fig. 4).
In the vented exhaust version the fumes
outlet duct must be 120 mm. in diameter.
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.

Electric connection

Before completing any connection, make
sure the house voltage corresponds with the
voltage indicated on the label affixed inside
the hood
It is advisable to call a qualified technician
to make the electrical connection.

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.

Warning

Ensure that the appliance is isolated from
the supply before carrying out installation.

Fastening the hood to the wall

— Place the template against the wall. The

lower edge of the template must match
the lower edge of the hood (Fig. 5).

— Drill two Ø 8mm holes and two Ø 12mm

holes (Fig. 5).

— Fit the two Ø 8mm plugs in the top holes

(Fig. 5).

— Fasten the two hooks C in the bottom

holes (Fig. 5).
— Remove the grease filters (Fig. 10).
— Hang the hood on the hooks and level it

with the screws D (Fig. 6).
— Secure it in place with the two 5x45 mm

screws and 5-20 mm diameter washers

in the top holes (Fig. 6).
— Refit the grease filter.

Installing the duct (exhaust version)
(Fig. 7)

— Fasten the top support E to the wall close

to the ceiling on the perpendicular of the

bottom connections. To do use the two

8mm diameter screws and plugs sup-

plied as standard equipment.
— Insert the plastic mould P on the duct.
— Take the measure h between the ceiling

and the hood top, and adjust the duct to

this height.

Fasten it with the screws F.
— Insert the duct with the slots downwards

and fasten it with the two top screws and

the two bottom screws G.

Using the hood

— The hood 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 hood a

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

— To start the appliance, pull the control

panel downwards for access to the light

and motor switches.
The hood has a microswitch so that once
the motor speed has been selected and the
light switched on, the hood can be started
by simply pulling out the control panel.
When the panel is closed, the hood
switches off.
The control panel can be positioned at the
desired angle to light the cooking area.

Warning!

—This appliance is designed to be

operated by adults. Children should not

be allowed to tamper with the controls

or play with the appliance .
— 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 cau-

se 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.

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 serves to hold the grease particles in
suspension.
The metal grease filter last forever and must
be washed at least once a month either by
hand or in the dishwasher (65°C) with suit­able detergents. Let the metal grease filters
dry without damaging them before putting
them back into place.

Removing the metal grease filter (Fig.

10):

1 - push the grease filter handle backwards
2 - then pull downwards.

After having cleaned refit the metal filter on
its housing proceeding in reverse order.

Carbon filter

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

It should be changed every 6 months in
normal use.

— Remove the grease filters.
— To remove the carbon filter, push the

push-buttons B inwards and pull the fil-

ter downwards (Fig. 3).
— Install the new carbon filter.
— Refit the grease filter.

Cleaning

To clean the outside of the hood use a cloth
moistened with denatured alcohol or neu­tral liquid detergents. Never use products
containing abrasive.
Wipe brushed stainless steel in the same
direction as the brushing to avoid
scratching.

6

Clean the external surface of the cooker
hood almost once every 10 days.

Attention

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

Changing the lighting elements

— Disconnect the hood from the electricity.
— Open the light cover by turning the

latches L (Fig. 11).

— Replace the damaged part with one of

equal rating.

— Before calling for technical service be-

cause the light fails to work, make sure
the lamp is tightly fastened.
