Rangehood

Use:Two systems are available

- Fig. 1

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 be necessary
to fit an approved bipolar switch with a minimum
contact opening of no less than 3mm.

Exhaust mode

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.
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 rangehood is supplied with a carbon
filter, then it must be removed.

Filter version

The air is filtered through a carbon filter (for its
installation see paragraph "Carbon Filter")and
recirculated into the room through the grating on
the chimney.

Attention!
If the rangehood is not supplied with a carbon
filter, it must be ordered and mounted.

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

Installation

The rangehood must be placed at a minimum
distance of 650mm above an electric, gas or
mixed cooktop. Please confirm this
measurement with your Local Building

Authority.

Electric connection

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

Appliance fitted with a plug.

Connect it to a socket which conforms with

Mounting on the wall

1. Rest the template correctly against thewall. The

lower corner of the template corresponds to the
lower corner of the rangehood. Fig. 2.

2.A cross is marked on the template to indicate
the centre. Mark this point on the wall. Fig. 2.

3.Drill two holes (Ø 8 mm) in the wall at the points
indicated, insert the stops (Ø 8 mm) and screw
in the hooks provided. Fig. 2.

4.Hang the rangehood and adjust its position
using the screws on the hooks. Fig. 3.

5.The reference point “a” marked on the body of
the rangehood must coincide with the line
you have drawn on the wall. Fig. 3.

6.Once the rangehood has been correctly
aligned, remove the grease filter.

9.Drill 2 holes (Ø 8 mm) and insert the plugs (Ø
8 mm). Fig. 4.

10. Hang the rangehood up again.

11. Fix the rangehood into its final position
using 2 screws (Ø 5x45 mm). Fig. 4.

12. Remove the telescopic chimney support M by

unscrewing the side screws R (one on each
side - these screws must be kept). Fig. 5.

13.Remove the air pipe L from the telescopic
chimney support M; to do this, unscrew the

4

four screws (Ø 2,9 x 9,5 mm) fixing the air pipe
to the support (these screws must be kept).

Fig. 5.

14. Fit the telescopic chimney support to the wall,

at a point close to the ceiling. The telescopic
chimney support has a reference mark P,
which must coincide with the line that you
have already drawn on the wall. Fig. 5.

15. Using a pencil, mark the two holes required to
fix the support and drill the holes (Ø 8 mm).

Fig. 5.

16. Insert two plugs and fix the telescopic chimney
support M using 2 screws size (5x45 mm).
Fig. 5.

17. During installation the plug must not be

connected to the power supply.

18. Select the rangehood operating mode.

19.Exhaust mode:

If the connector ring has not yet been installed,
it must be fitted at this point (Q in Fig. 6, bayonet

and fix it to the air pipe L using a screw. Insert
the air pipe into the telescopic chimney support
and fix it with four screws (Ø 2.9 x 9.5 mm).
Fig. 6.
Fix the 150 mm diameter ABS pipe to the

pipe downward until it rests in its housing on
the top of the rangehood.

24. Replace the grease filters.

Functions

—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.

Descriptions and functions of the
control panel

rangehood.
