Note: The installation must be performed so that accessibility to the hood and its electronic components is always ensured for possible technical assistance interventions.
Note: the cable that connects the remote motor to the hood is 3 metres long
Caution! Do not cut the cable between the hood and the engine to avoid losing your right to warranty!
When handling the hood do not put hands within the range of action of the pull-out suction panel (trolley)
The hood is equipped with safety switches which inhibit operation when the front filter panel is unhooked.

With the intention of constantly improving our products, we reserve the right to make all the changes in their technical, functional or design characteristics, deriving from their evolution. In case of the version with external motor, the normal operation of the hood requires the use of a suction unit (external motor) of the same manufacturer.
When installing the product, it is recommended to keep a minimum distance of 400mm between the worktop and any components laid on top of the hood.
This is to let the suction panel move upwards (opening) and downwards (closing) without any obstacles, and to facilitate access to the hood controls on the panel.

WARNING: Put the metal box containing the electronic components at a distance not shorter than 65 cm from the gas hob or 65 cm from the hood suction point.
RECOMMENDATION: We recommend you to install the metal box containing the electronic components at a distance of at least 10 cm from the ground and sufficiently from all the sources of heat (e.g.: side of an oven or hob).

Suggestions for a correct use in order to reduce the environmental impact: Switch ON the hood at minimum speed when you start cooking and kept it running for few minutes after cooking is finished. Increase the speed only in case of large amount of smoke and vapor and use boost speed(s) only in extreme situations. Replace the charcoal filter(s) when necessary to maintain a good odor reduction efficiency. Clean the grease filter(s) when necessary to maintain a good grease filter efficiency. Use the maximum diameter of the ducting system indicated in this manual to optimize efficiency and minimize noise.

Use

The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting or filter version.

Extraction version

In this case the fumes are conveyed outside of the building by means of a special pipe connected with the connection ring located on top of the hood.

CAUTION!
The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be purchased apart.
Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the connection ring.

CAUTION!
If the hood is supplied with active charcoal filter, then it must be removed.

Filtration version

The aspirated air will be degreased and deodorised before being fed back into the room.
In order to use the hood in this version, you have to install a system of additional filtering based on activated charcoal.
Note: The recycled air in the charcoal filter is sent back to the kitchen through a duct which conveys air on a side of the cabinet.

The models with no suction motor only operate in ducting mode, and must be connected to an external suction device (not supplied).
The connecting instructions are supplied with the peripheral suction unit.

Mounting

Before starting to mount the appliance, make sure that no component is damaged, otherwise contact the dealer and stop mounting. In addition, read all the instructions below carefully.

• Use an air outlet pipe no longer than 5 metres.
• Limit the number of curves in the duct since each curve reduces the suction effectiveness equivalent to 1 linear metre. (E.g.: if two 90° curves are used, the duct should be no longer than 3 metres).
• Avoid drastic changes of direction.
• Use a duct with 150mm diameter constant for the whole length.
• Use a duct made of standard complying material.
• In case of failure to observe the instructions above, the supplier can not be held responsible for capacity or noise problems and no warranty will be granted.
• Before making the hole, make sure that the inside of the cabinet, near the hood housing area, does not have the structure of the cabinet or other particulars which may cause problems for the proper installation. Make sure that the overall dimensions of the hood and the hob ae compatible with the cabinet and therefore the installation is feasible.
• Before inserting the screws into the cabinet, make sure that the product is perfectly perpendicular to the worktop.
