DESCRIPTION

The hood may be in the filtering or the ducting version.

Filtering version (Fig. 1): The hood aspirates the kitchen air saturated with fumes and odours, purifies it through
the grease filters and charcoal filter and returns clean air into the room. For constant efficiency, the charcoal filter must
be replaced periodically. The charcoal filter is not supplied.

Ducting version (Fig. 2): The hood aspirates the kitchen air saturated with fumes and odours, passes it through the
grease filters and expels it to the outside through an outlet pipe. With this version the charcoal filter is not required. Decide
from the outset on the type of installation (filtering or ducting). For greater efficiency, we recommend you install the hood
in the ducting version (if possible).

INSTALLATION

It is advisable to entrust the installation operations to specialised personnel. Also follow carefully each step
of the assembly instructions, and once installation has been completed, make sure that the hood is firmly secured
in place.

1. Before proceeding with the installation operations, remove the grease filters to make it easier to handle the

hood: grip the knob and push it towards the opposite side of the filter and turn the filter outwards (Fig. 3).

2. Arrange the electrical power supply within the decorative flue dimensions.

3. Should you install the ducting version, prepare the air vent hole and duct.

For optimal conditions in the ducting versions, use an air exhaust pipe with

the minimum indispensable length, the least possible number of elbows (maximum elbow angle: 90°), certified materials
(according to the country), and an as smooth as possible inside. It is also recommended to avoid drastic changes in the
pipe cross-section (diameter: 150 mm). Consider that the air vent of the hood is not on the longitudinal axis but is offset
by 36 mm to the right - see dimensions in Fig. 21.

4. Using the special drilling template, drill the holes for fixing to the ceiling on the vertical side of your hob. Carefully
observe all the indications for final positioning of the apparatus. Take into account that one of the template axes must
correspond to the axis of the hood controls. Fix the bracket to the ceiling using the screws and screw anchors provided
(Fig. 4). Be careful, because the position of the bracket determines the final position of the apparatus: the side with the
slot B corresponds to the side opposite the controls.

5. Assemble the plate of the electrical system fixing it with 2 screws (V) and 2 metal washers (Fig. 5).

6. Fit the 2 glass stops to the sides of the lower flue: screw in the screw working from the inside of the lower flue

an lock the glass stop (Fig. 6).

INSTALLING THE FILTERING VERSION:

7. Secure the telescopic structure to the bracket using 4 screws (provided), running the power cable through the

hole in the bracket (Fig. 7). Adjust the height of the telescopic structure using the 4 retaining screws C (Fig. 8) bearing
in mind that the height of the hood is 237 mm and that the distance of the hood from the hob must be at least 650 mm
(Fig.9).

8. Insert the air baffle (F) into the structure (Fig. 10) Through the openings G (Fig. 11), fit the flange (W) to the baffle
(F) and lock it with a rotary movement. Fit a flexible hose (125 mm diameter) to the flange (W) for air evacuation (Fig. 11).

9. Take the upper flue (the one with the round slots) and fit it on the telescopic structure with the slots at the top;
secure the flue to the bracket with 2 screws (Fig. 12). Take the lower flue and fit it in the same way as the upper flue;
slide it upwards and secure it in that position with some adhesive tape (Fig. 13).

10. Take the reducer (Fig. 5R) and fit it on the air vent of the hood, exercising slight pressure.

11. Secure the hood to the telescopic structure by means of 4 screws (provided) - Fig. 14.

12. Secure the air exhaust pipe to the reducer (R) through the openings H (Fig. 14).

13. Make the electrical connection by means of the power cable.

14. Remove the adhesive tape and let the lower flue slide down, gently resting it on the hood .

15. Secure the lower flue with 4 screws working from the inside of the hood (Fig. 15).

16. In the filtering version, a charcoal filter must be used. Check if it has been installed, and if not, install it by sliding

the 2 filter clips into place and turn it inwards (Fig. 16).

17. Fitting the grease drip trays: position the 2 drip trays inside the hood in proximity of the halogen lamps and move
the trays sideways towards the outside of the hood (Fig. 17). Proceed with fitting the other 2 trays in the same way, working
from the opposite side.

18. Fitting the glass panel: Fit the 2 plastic strips on the upper edge of the glass panel (Fig. 18); Position the glass
panel in the 2 glass stops and secure it to the hood with 2 screws and 4 washers (Fig. 18). Proceed with fitting the other
glass panel in the same way, working from the opposite side.

INSTALLING THE DUCTING VERSION:

7. Secure the telescopic structure to the bracket using 4 screws (provided), passing the air exhaust pipe inside the

telescopic structure and running the power cable through the hole in the bracket (Fig. 7). Adjust the height of the telescopic

structure using the 4 retaining screws C (Fig. 8) bearing in mind that the height of the hood is 237 mm and that the distance
of the hood from the hob must be at least 650 mm (Fig. 9).

8. Take the upper flue (the one with the round slots) and fit it on the telescopic structure with the slots at the bottom;
secure the flue to the bracket with 2 screws (Fig. 19). Take the lower flue and fit it in the same way as the upper flue;
slide it upwards and secure it in that position with some adhesive tape (Fig. 13).

9. Secure the hood to the telescopic structure by means of 4 screws (provided) - Fig. 20.

10. Through the openings H (Fig. 20) secure the air exhaust pipe to the air vent of the motor (M).

11. Make the electrical connection by means of the power cable.

12. Remove the adhesive tape and let the lower flue slide down, gently resting it on the hood .

13. Secure the lower flue with 4 screws working from the inside of the hood (Fig. 15).

14. In the ducting version, the charcoal filter is not required; therefore if it has been installed, remove it by pushing

the catch inwards and turning the filter downwards until the 2 clips slip out of their seats (Fig. 16).

15. Fitting the grease drip trays: position the 2 drip trays inside the hood in proximity of the halogen lamps and move
the trays sideways towards the outside of the hood (Fig. 17). Proceed with fitting the other 2 trays in the same way, working
from the opposite side.

16. Fitting the glass panel: Fit the 2 plastic strips on the upper edge of the glass panel (Fig. 18); Position the glass
panel in the 2 glass stops and secure it to the hood with 2 screws and 4 washers (Fig. 18). Proceed with fitting the other
glass panel in the same way, working from the opposite side.

FUNCTIONING OF THE APPARATUS

CONTROLS (Fig. 21):

A = Light switch.
B = Motor ON/OFF - 1 speed switch
C = II speed switch
D = III speed switch
E = IV speed switch
F = Infrared beam sensor
Pressing once again the active speed switch in that moment, the timer making the apparatus stop automatically starts
working and the relative led starts to blink, this will last for 10’ then the motor will stop together with the lights (if they
are ON).
In this 10’ time it is possible to change the motor speed. If you stop the motor you stop the counting.
At the end of 30 working hours, the light switch starts blinking to indicate that the anti-grease filter needs to be cleaned.
To reset press the speed switch that was working.

Remote control working (Fig. 22):
G = Switch ON/OFF motor working at the same speed as when it had been turned OFF.
H = To increase speed
I = To lower speed
L = Light switch.

ATTENTION: the remote control needs a special care. Avoid it to come into contact with water and clean it periodically
in order to avoid any grease deposit. The remote control must be fed by a 9V, “Transistor” type battery.
To get to the battery seat, pull the cover of the remote control (as indicated in Figure 23) making it slip towards the
outside. Get rid of the empty batteries safely, using the appropriate containers. In case you would have to eliminate
the remote control, remember that you should first take the batteries off.

MAINTENANCE

-Maintenance of the grease filters:The grease filters require regular maintenance and must be cleaned on average every
two months depending on use. About every 30 hours of operation the hood signals that the grease filters need to be cleaned
by the light button flashing (Fig. 21A).
Remove the grease filters: grip the knob and push it towards the opposite side of the filter and turn the filter outwards
(Fig. 3). Wash them with a normal neutral product available on the market and then thoroughly rinse and dry them. The
filters can be washed in a dishwasher. Refit the grease filters. After cleaning the grease filters, reset the hour counter
by pressing the current operating speed button.

-Maintenance of the grease drip trays: The grease drip trays require regular maintenance and must be emptied and cleaned
on average every two months depending on use. Removing the grease drip trays: Move the (4) drip trays sideways towards
the inside of the hood (Fig. 24) and remove them.

-Maintenance of the charcoal filter:

If using a hood in the filtering version, the charcoal filter needs to be replaced on average every six months depending
on use. To remove the charcoal filter, first remove the grease filters (Fig.3). Then remove the charcoal filter by pushing
the catch inwards and turning the filter downwards until the 2 clips slip out of their seats (Fig. 16). Replace the charcoal
filter and refit the grease filters.

-Changing the halogen lamps: To change the halogen bulbs open the cover levering from the proper slots (Fig.25). Change
with a lamp of the same kind. CAUTION: Do not handle glass bulb with bare hands.
