Safety warnings

• When used as an extractor unit, the hood
must be fitted with a hose having preferably
the same diameter as the outlet hole.
Should there already be a pipe of diameter
125 mm that ducts to the outside through the
walls or roof, it is possible to use the 150/125
mm reduction flange provided. In this case
the hood will be slightly noisier.
Attention: The hose is not supplied and must
be purchased separately.

• The minimum distance between the
supporting surface for the cooking vessels on
the hob and the lowest part of the range hood
must be not less than 50cm from electric
cookers and 65cm from gas or mixed
cookers.
If the instructions for installation for the gas
hob specify a greater distance, this must be
adhered to.

• Before any cleaning or maintenance
operation, disconnect the hood from the
mains by removing the plug or disconnecting
the home mains switch.

• The appliance is not intended for use by
children or persons with impaired physical,
sensorial or mental faculties, or if lacking in
experience or know-how, unless they are
under supervision or have been trained in the
use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.

• Children should be monitored to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.

• Never use the hood without effectively
mounted grating.!

• The hood must NEVER be used as a support
surface unless specifically indicated.

• The premises must be sufficiently ventilated,
when the kitchen hood is used together with

other gas combustion devices or other fuels.

• The suctioned air must not be conveyed into
a conduit used for the disposal of the fumes
generated by appliances that combust gases
or other fuels.

• The flaming of foods beneath the hood itself
is severely prohibited.

• The use of exposed flames is detrimental to
the filters and may cause a fire risk, and must
therefore be avoided in all circumstances.

• Any frying must be done with care in order to
make sure that the oil does not overheat and
burst into flames.

• As regards the technical and safety measures
to be adopted for fume discharging it is
important to closely follow the relations
provided by the competent authorities.

• The hood must be regularly cleaned on both
the inside and outside (AT LEAST ONCE A
MONTH, it is in any event necessary to
proceed in accordance with the maintenance
instructions provided in this manual)..

• Failure to follow the instructions as concerns
hood and filter cleaning will lead to the risk of
fires.

• Do not use or leave the hood without the
lamp correctly mounted because of the
possible risk of electric shocks.

• We decline any responsibility for any
problems, damage or fires caused to the
appliance as the result of the non-observance
of the instructions included in this manual.

hoods and fuel-burning appliances connected to

a chimney, such as coal or oil room-heaters
and gas fires, in the same room.

• Hoods can only be used safely with
appliances connected to a chimney if the
room and/or flat (air/environment
combination) is ventilated from outside using
a suitable ventilation hole approximately 500­600 cm2 large to avoid the possibility of a
depression being created during operation of
the hood.

• If you have any doubts, contact the relevant
controlling authority or building inspector’s
office.

• Since the rule for rooms with fuel burning
appliances is “outlet hole of the same size as
the ventilation hole”, a hole of 500-600 cm2,
which is to say a larger hole, could reduce the
performance of the extractor hood.

6

Description of the Appliance

• The cooker hood is designed to extract
unpleasant odours from the kitchen, it will
not extract steam.

• The hood is supplied as an extractor unit and
can also be used with a recirculation mode by
fitting a charcoal filter.

Extraction mode

Top

Rear

• You will need an original charcoal filter for the
recirculation mode. (See Special
Accessories).

Top

Rear

• In this mode fumes are extracted to the outside via a hose connected to the coupling ring.

• In order to obtain the best performance the hose should have a diameter equal to the outlet hole.

7

Recirculation mode

• The air is filtered through a charcoal filter
and returned to the kitchen.

• You will need an original charcoal filter for the
recirculation mode. (See Special
Accessories).

8

Control Panel

• Best results are obtained by using a low speed for normal conditions and a high speed when
odours are more concentrated.
Turn the hood on a few minutes before you start cooking.
The hood should be left on after cooking for about 15 minutes or until all the odours have
disappeared.

• Correct ventilation: If the cooker hood is to work correctly there must be an under pressure in
the kitchen. It is important to keep the kitchen windows closed and have a window in an adjacent
room open.

• The control switches are located on the hood’s front panel:

Light switch

(ON/OFF)

ON/OFF

motor speed key

• Light switch (ON/OFF): this switch is used to turn the light fitted in the hood on and off.

• ON/OFF motor speed key: serves to enable and disenable the speed selection keys.

• Push-button 1 (ON/OFF): used to set the fan to speed 1.

• Push-button 2 (ON/OFF): used to set the fan to speed 2.

• Push-button 3 (ON/OFF): used to set the fan to speed 3.

Maintenance and Care

• Warning! 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

• The purpose of the grease filters is to absorb
grease particles which form during cooking
and it must always be used, either in the
external extraction or internal re-circulation
function.
Attention: the metal grease filters must be
removed and washed, either by hand or in the
dishwasher, every four weeks.

Removing the metal grease filter

• Use the spring handle and remove the filter
downward.

Hand washing

Soak grease filters for about one hour in hot
water with a grease-loosening cleaner, then
rinse off thoroughly with hot water. Repeat the
process if necessary. Refit the grease filters
when they are dry.

Dishwasher

Place grease filters in the dishwasher. Select
most powerful washing programme and
highest temperature, at least 65°C. Repeat
the process. Refit the grease filters when they
are dry.

• Attention! When washing the metal grease
filter in the dishwasher a slight discolouration
of the filter can occur, this does not have any
impact on its performance.

• Clean the inner housing using a hand hot
solution only(never use caustic detergents,
abrasive powders or brushes).

10

Charcoal filter

• The charcoal filter should only be used if you want to use the hood in recirculation mode.

• To do this you will need an original charcoal filter (available from your local Service Force Centre).

• Cleaning/replacing the charcoal filter
The saturation of the activated charcoal occurs after more or less prolonged use, depending on
the type of cooking and the regularity of cleaning of the grease filter.
In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least every four mounths (or when the filter
saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in possession – indicates this necessity).

• Fitting
Remove the grease filters.
Apply the filter first in front and then behind fixing it in position with the two knobs (g).
Refit the grease filters.

g

g

g

g

• To remove
Remove the filter turning the knobs that fix it to the hood 90°(g).

• Always specify the hood model code number and serial number when ordering replacement
filters. This information is shown on the rating plate located on the inside of the unit.

• The charcoal filter can be ordered from your local Service Force Centre.

11

Warning

Changing the light bulb(s)

• Failure to observe the instructions on cleaning
the unit and changing the filters will cause a
fire hazard. You are therefore strongly
recommended to follow these instructions.

• The manufacturer declines all responsibility
for any damage to the motor or any fire
damage linked to inappropriate maintenance
or failure to observe the above safety
recommendations.

• Disconnect the cooker hood from the

mains supply.

• Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure
they are cooled down.

• Replace the old bulb with a new one of the
same type.

• If the light does not come on, make sure the
bulb has been inserted in correctly before
contacting your local Service Force Centre.

Cleaning the hood

• Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a solution of water and mild washing up
liquid.

• Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products or products containing bleach.

• Never insert pointed objects in the motor’s protective grid.

• Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grill using a damp cloth and mild washing up liquid.

• Clean all the plastic parts with a soft cloth soaked in warm water and neutral soap.

• It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the filters at the recommended intervals.
Failure to do so will cause grease deposits to build up that could constitute a fire hazard.

Electrical connection

Safety warnings for the electrician

The mains power supply must correspond to the rating indicated on the plate situated inside the
hood. If provided with a plug connect the hood to a socket in compliance with current regulations
and positioned in an accessible area. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the
plug is not located in an accessible area apply a bi-polar switch in accordance with standards which
assures the complete disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to over-current category
III, in accordance with installation instructions.
IMPORTANT: Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains supply and checking the efficient
function, always check that the mains cable is correctly assembled.

14

Installation

Installing the mantle on the hood

Installing the mantle can also be carried out
after having installed the motor unit at the wall.
This makes installation easier because the
weights and dimensions of the parts to be
mounted are relatively limited.
On the contrary, installing the mantle before
installing the hood to the wall allows checking
the set up and position of the hood to the wall.

Proceed as follows:

• Place the mantle over the hood (the painted
part downward).
The slots on the glass element should
correspond to the fixing points on the hood.

• Put the closure bracket over the mantle and
fix the glass element with four bushes and
screws.

If you decide to use the hood in exhausting
version we suggest to position the upper section
of the chimney so that the oulet slots are not
visible once installation has ended, on the
contrary if is decided to use the hood in
recycling version BE SURE that the side with
slots is up (see also A-B-C sequence).

Assembling the chimney flue
support/bracket (3 parts)

The three parts should be fixed with 4 screws,
the support extension is adjustable and should
correspond to the internal width of the
telescopic chimney flue.

Assembling the deflector (3 parts –
only for filter version):

The three parts should be fixed with 2 screws,
the deflector extension is adjustable and should
correspond to the width of the chimney flue
support, to which it is then fixed.
