Part 1 - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1 - GENERAL INFORMATION

This hood is designed to be fixed to any rigid vertical surface, over a gas or electric hotplate and can
be used either in the extraction mode (ducted to the outside) or in the recirculation mode (internal
recycling).

Before commencing the installation, consideration should be given to the difficulties to be found
during installation.
The installation work must be undertaken by a qualified and competent person in conformity to
the rules concerning the evacuation of contaminated air.
The manufacturer disclaims all liability for any damage or injury caused as a result of not
following the instructions for installation contained in the following text.

2 - SAFETY WARNINGS

2.1 - When used in the extraction mode, the cooker hood ducting must not be connected to a flue
which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances supplied with energy other than electric,
such as a central heating flue or water heating flue.

2.2 - Before connecting to the mains supply ensure that the mains voltage corresponds with the voltage
on the rating plate inside the hood.

2.3 - Connect the cooker hood to the mains via a bipolar switch which has 3 mm clearance between
the contacts.

2.4 - For cooker hoods featuring an earth cable, make sure the electric plant of your house is correctly
earthed.

2.5 - Appliances in class II are provided with a double insulation; therefore do not connect them
through earthed plugs but through simple bipolar plugs.

2.6 - When installed, the hood must be positioned at least 65 cm above the hotplate.

2.7 - Never do flambé cooking under this cooker hood.

2.8 - Never leave frying pans unattended during use as overheated fat and oil may catch fire.

2.9 - Before carrying out any kind of maintenance or cleaning, disconnect the hood from the mains
supply.

2.10 -

If the room where the cooker hood is to be used contains a fuel burning appliance such as a
central heating boiler then this must be of the room sealed or balanced flue type.
If other types of flue or appliance are fitted, ensure that there is an adequate supply of air into
the room.
When the cooker hood is used in conjunction with appliances supplied with energy other than
electric, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0,04 mbar to prevent fumes being
drawn back into the room by the cooker hood.

3 - INSTALLATION

3.1 - Fixing the front panel to the screen

Extract the metal screen by turning it outwards unlocking, at the same time the stop on the left hand
side of the hood (fig. 1), drill the panel, using the cardboard template provided and fix it to the screen
using the 3.9 x 13 screws provided. Replace the screen, ensuring that the guides are fitted correctly into
position.
Adjust the slide of the screen by turning the two screws V.

3.2 - Fixing to the wall

Drill the wall using the cardboard template provided, fit plugs into the holes and fix the two metal
brackets using the four screws provided with the accessories.
Hook the hood onto the metal brackets.
The rear hooks on the hood can be adjusted both in height and depth, allowing the hood to be aligned

with the cupboards on either side (fig. 2).
In some models the rear hooks can only be adjusted horizontally (fig. 3), in any case, after hooking
the hood to the wall it will always be necessary to adjust the depth of the metal spacer on the lower
part of the hood (fig. 4).

3.3 - Fixing to cupboards on either side

Drill the side cupboards using the cardboard template provided, remove the screen (see paragraph 3.1).
Remove the ventilator grille (fig. 5), fix the hood to the cupboards using the 3.5 x 16 screws provided,
screwing them from the inside (fig. 6).

3.4 - Ducting or recycling connection

1 - Ducting connection

Kitchen fumes are ducted to the outside of the building through an outlet pipe (fig. 7).
The outlet from the hood must be connected to external ducting by means of rigid or flexible pipes
Ø 100 or 120 mm, to be fixed using suitable pipe connectors (not provided). Check whether or not
there are active charcoal filters fitted in the hood: in the ducting version they should not be installed
(see paragraph 3.3 part 2).

2 - Recycling connection

The air is filtered through the active charcoal filter and returned into the room through the hole in the
top of the hood (fig. 8).
Check that the active charcoal filters are fitted inside the hood (see paragraph 3.3, part 2).

3.5 - Electrical connection and working test

1 - The safety measures 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 of paragraph 2 are to be strictly observed.
2 - Once the electrical connection has been completed, check that the worktop illumination, motor and

speeds work properly.

Part 2 - OPERATION AND

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

1 - SAFETY WARNINGS

It is most important that all the warnings shown in paragraph 2 of part 1 are strictly observed.
Moreover, special attention must be paid to the following warnings during the use and maintenance

of the cooker hood:

1.1 - The grease filters and the charcoal filters should be cleaned or replaced as recommended by the
manufacturer or more frequently if the hood is used consistently (more than 4 hours per day).

1.2 - When using a gas hob in connection with the cooker hood never leave the burners of the hob
uncovered while the hood is in use or when the pans have been removed. Switch off the gas
before removing the pan or for just short periods and never leave the hob unattended.

1.3 - Always ensure that the appliance is kept at the correct intensity to prevent the flame from licking
round from the bottom of the pan; this will save energy and will avoid a dangerous concentration
of heat.

1.4 - Always ensure that the appliance is used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions for
the removal of contaminated odours during cooking.
