WARNINGS FOR THE INSTALLER

TECHNICAL SAFETY

Before installing the hood, check the integrity and function of each part. Should anomalies be noted, do not proceed with installation and contact the Dealer.
Do NOT install the hood if an aesthetic (or cosmetic) defect has been detected. Put it back into its original package and contact the dealer.
No claim can be made for aesthetic (or cosmetic) defects once it has been installed.
During installation, always use personal protective equipment (e.g.: Safety shoes) and adopt prudent and proper conduct.
The installation kit (screws and plugs) supplied with the hood is only to be used on masonry walls: in case of installation on walls of a different material, assess other installation options keeping in mind the type of wall surface and the weight of the hood (indicated on page 2).
Keep in mind that installations with different types of fastening systems from those supplied, or which are not compliant, can cause electrical and mechanical seal danger.
Do not install the hood outdoors and do not expose it to atmospheric elements (rain, wind, etc.).

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

The electrical system to which the hood is to be connected must be in accordance with local standards and supplied with earthed connection in compliance with safety regulations in the country of use. It must also comply with European standards regarding radio antistatic properties.
Before installing the hood, check that the electrical mains power supply corresponds with what is reported on the identification plate located inside the hood.
The socket used to connect the installed equipment to the electrical power supply must be within reach: otherwise, install a mains switch to disconnect the hood when required.
Any changes to the electrical system must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
The maximum length of the flue fastening screws (supplied by the manufacturer) must be 13 mm. Use of non-compliant screws with these instructions can lead to danger of an electrical nature.
Do not try to solve the problem yourself in the event of equipment malfunction, but contact the Dealer or an authorised Servicing Department for repairs.

FUMES DISCHARGE

EXTERNAL EXHAUST HOOD (SUCTION)

In this version the fumes and vapours are discharged outside through the exhaust pipe.
To this end, the hood outlet fitting must be connected via a pipe, to an external output.

The outlet pipe must have:

• a diameter not less than that of the hood fitting.
• a slight slope downwards (drop) in the horizontal sections to prevent condensation from flowing back into the motor.
• the minimum required number of bends.
• the minimum required length to avoid vibrations and reduce the suction performance of the hood.
  You are required to insulate the pipes if it passes through cold environments.
  In the presence of motors with 800m3/h or higher, a check valve is present to prevent external air flowing back.

Deviation for Germany: when the kitchen hood is used at the same time as appliances that are powered by energy other than electricity, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 4 Pa (4 x 10-5 bar).

HOOD WITH INTERNAL RECIRCULATION (FILTERING)

INTERNAL RECIRCULATION (FILTERING)
In this model, the air passes through the charcoal filters to be purified and recycled in the environment.
Ensure that the active carbon filters are assembled into the hood, if not, install them as indicated in the assembly instructions.

In this version the check valve must not be assembled: remove it if it is on the air outlet fitting of the motor.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

CLEANING OF EXTERNAL SURFACES

You are advised to clean the external surfaces of the hood at least once every 15 days to prevent oily substances and grease from sticking to them. To clean the brushed stainless steel hood, the Manufacturer recommends using “Magic Steel” wipes.
Alternatively and for all the other types of surfaces, it can be cleaned using a damp cloth, slightly moistened with mild, liquid detergent or denatured alcohol.
Complete cleaning by rinsing well and drying with soft cloths.

Do not use too much moisture or water around the push button control panel and lighting devices in order to prevent humidity from reaching electronic parts.

The glass panels can only be cleaned with specific, non-corrosive or non- abrasive detergents using a soft cloth.
The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for failure to comply with these instructions.

CLEANING OF INTERNAL SURFACES
Do not clean electrical parts, or parts related to the motor inside the hood, with liquids or solvents.
For the internal metal parts, see the previous paragraph.

METAL ANTI-GREASE FILTERS
It is advised to frequently wash the metal filters (at least once a month) leaving them to soak in boiling water and cleaning solution for 1 hour, taking care not to bend them.
Do not use corrosive, acid or alkaline detergents.
Rinse them well and wait for them to be completely dry before reassembling them.
Washing in a dishwasher is permitted, however, it may cause the filter material to darken: to reduce the possibility of this problem from happening, use low temperature washes (55°C max.).
To extract and insert the metal anti-grease filters see the assembly instructions.

CARBON-ZEO FILTERS
Under normal conditions, they should be regenerated every 18 months and
replaced after 3 years. To regenerate the filter, follow the following procedure:

• Remove the filter as described in the instructions.
• Place the 4 filters (3 x type A and 1 x type B) in a domestic oven at 200°C for about 2 hours.
• When the filter has cooled down, refit the 4 filters onto the metal structure of the KACL.930 filter.

LIGHTING
The range hood is equipped with high efficiency, low consumption LED spotlights with an extremely long life-span under normal use conditions.
Should replacement be required, contact a service centre.
