GENERAL
Carefully read the following important information regarding installation
safety and maintenance. Keep this information booklet accessible for further
consultations. The appliance has been designed for use in the ducting
version (air exhaust to the outside – Fig.1B), filtering version (air circulation
on the inside – Fig.1A) or with external motor (Fig.1C).
SAFETY PRECAUTION
1. Take care when the cooker hood is operating simultaneously with an open
fireplace or burner that depend on the air in the environment and are
supplied by other than electrical energy, as the cooker hood removes the air
from the environment which a burner or fireplace need for combustion. The
negative pressure in the environment must not exceed 4Pa (4x10-5 bar).
Provide adequate ventilation in the environment for a safe operation of the
cooker hood. Follow the local laws applicable for external air evacuation.
Before connecting the model to the electricity network:
- inspect the data plate (positioned inside the appliance) to ascertain that the
voltage and power correspond to the network and the socket is suitable. If in
doubt ask a qualified electrician.
2. WARNING!
In certain circumstances electrical appliances may be a danger hazard.
A) Do not check the status of the filters while the cooker hood is operating
B) Do not touch bulbs or adjacent areas, during or straight after prolonged
use of the lighting installation.
C) Flambe cooking is prohibited underneath the cooker hood
D) Avoid free flame, as it is damaging for the filters and a fire hazard
E) Constantly check food frying to avoid that the overheated oil may
become a fire hazard
F) Disconnect the electrical plug prior to any maintenance.
G) This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm
persons without supervision
H) Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the
appliance
I) There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the rangehood is
used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels
J) There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the
instructions
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Specialized personnel must carry out assembly and electrical connections.
• Electric Connection
The appliance has been manufactured as a class I, therefore earth cable is
necessary.
The connection to the mains is carried out as follows:
IEC227 North America
L=live Brown Black
N=neutral Blue
White
E=earth Green/Yellow
Green
If not provided, connect a plug for the electrical load indicated on the
description label. Where a plug is provided, the cooker hood must be
installed in order that the plug is easily accessible.
An omnipolar switch with a minimum aperture of 3mm between contacts, in
line with the electrical load and local standards, must be placed between the
appliance and the network in the case of direct connection to the electrical
network.
• The minimum distance between the support surfaces of the cooking pots on
the cooker top and the lowest part of the cooker hood must be at least 65 cm.
If a connection tube composed of two parts is used, the upper part must be
placed outside the lower part.
Do not connect the cooker hood exhaust to the same conductor used to
circulate hot air or for evacuating fumes from other appliances generated by
other than an electrical source.
Before proceeding with the assembly operations, remove the anti-grease
filter(s) (Fig.5) so that the unit is easier to handle.
In the case of assembly of the appliance in the suction version prepare the
hole for evacuation of the air.
• FIXING TO THE WALL
Drill the holes A respecting the distances indicated (Fig.2).
Fix the appliance to the wall and align it in horizontal position to the wall
units. When the appliance has been adjusted, definitely fix the hood using
the screws A.
For the various installations use screws and screw anchors suited to the type
of wall (e.g. reinforced concrete, plasterboard, etc.). If the screws and screw
anchors are provided with the product check that they are suitable for the
type of wall on which the hood is to be fixed.
• FIXING THE DECORATIVE TELESCOPIC FLUE
Arrange the electrical power supply within the dimensions of the decorative
flue. If your appliance is to be installed in the ducting version or in the
version with external motor, prepare the air exhaust opening. Adjust the
width of the support bracket of the upper flue (Fig.3). Then fix it to the
ceiling using the screws A (Fig.2) in such a way that it is in line with your
hood and respecting the distance from the ceiling indicated in Fig.2. Connect
the flange C to the air exhaust hole using a connection pipe (Fig.4).
To transform the hood from a ducting version into a filtering version, ask
your dealer for the charcoal filters and follow the installation instructions.
• FILTERING VERSION
Install the hood and the two flues as described in the paragraph for
installation of the hood in ducting version. To assemble the filtering flue
refer to the instructions contained in the kit. If the kit is not provided, order it
from your dealer as accessory. The charcoal filters must be fitted in the
ducting unit located inside the hood.
USE AND MAINTENANCE
• It is recommended to operate the appliance prior to cooking.
It is recommended to leave the appliance in operation for
15 minutes after cooking is terminated in order to completely eliminate
cooking vapors and odours.
The proper function of the cooker hood is conditioned by the regularity of
the maintenance operations, in particular, the active carbon filter.
• The anti-grease filters capture the grease particles suspended in the air, and
are therefore subject to clogging according to the frequency of the use of the
appliance.
In order to prevent fire hazard, it is recommendable to clean the filter at a
maximum of 2 months by carrying out the following instructions:
- Remove the filters from the cooker hood and wash them in a solution of
water and neutral liquid detergent, leaving to soak.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water and leave to dry.
- The filters may also be washed in the dishwasher.
The aluminum panels may alter in color after several washes. This is not
cause for customer complaint or replacement of panels.
• The active carbon filters purify the air that is replaced in the environment.
The filters are neither washable nor reuseable and must be replaced at
maximum every four months. The saturation of the active carbon filter
depends on the frequency of use of the appliance, by the type of cooking and
the regularity of cleaning the anti-grease filters. (Fig 6) To remove the
charcoal filters place on hand on one filter at a time and turn it toward the
front part. The charcoal filter can now be removed. Always ensure to replace
both filters at the same time.
• Clean the fan and other surfaces of the cooker hood regularly using a cloth
moistened with denatured alcohol or non-abrasive liquid detergent.
• The illumination installation is designed for use during cooking and not for
prolonged general illumination of the environment. Prolonged use of the
illumination installation notably reduces the duration of the bulb.
DO NOT
USE THE LIGHT AS A “NIGHT LIGHT”.
Use a one-edged screwdriver or any other appropriate tool to lift and remove
the overhead light fixture. Replace the damaged lamp. Use only halogen
lamps as the original specification, avoiding contact with hands. Return the
light fixture to its position (snap fastening). (Fig. 7)
• COMMANDS: (Fig.8)
A = TIMER – 15 MINUTES
B = SPEED I / OFF
C = SPEED II / OFF
D = SPEED III / OFF
•COMMANDS: (Fig.9)

• If your appliance does not have the INTENSIVE speed function, press key
A for two seconds and it will be activated for 15 minutes after which it will
return to the previously set speed. When the function is active the LED
flashes.
By pressing any key for the exclusion of the hood light the hood will return
immediately to its normal functioning.
The “automatic stop timer” delays stopping of the hood, which will
continue functioning for 15 minutes at the operating speed set at the
time this function is activated.
