FUMES DISCHARGE
EXTERNAL EXHAUST HOOD (SUCTION)
In this version the fumes and vapors 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 500 CFM or higher, a check valve is present to prevent external air flowing back.
HOOD WITH 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
Intended only for qualified personnel
The hood can be installed in various configurations.
The generic assembly steps apply to all installations; for each case, follow
the specific steps provided for the required installation.
OPERATION
WHEN TO TURN ON THE HOOD?
Switch on the hood at least one minute before starting to cook to direct fumes
and vapors towards the suction surface.
After cooking, leave the hood operating until complete extraction of all
vapors and odors. By means of the Timer function, it is possible to set auto
switch-off function which will allow the hood to turn off automatically after
15 minutes of operation.
WHICH SPEED IS TO BE SELECTED?
1st speed: maintains the circulation of clean air with low electricity
consumption. 2nd speed: normal conditions of use.
3rd speed: presence of strong odors and vapors.
4th speed: rapid disposal of odors and vapors.

Do not use detergents containing abrasive, acidic or corrosive substances or
abrasive cloths.
Regular maintenance guarantees proper operation and performance over time.
Special attention is to be paid to the metal anti-grease filters : frequent
cleaning of the filters and their supports ensures that no flammable grease is
accumulated.
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 (131°F / 55°C max.).
To extract and insert the metal anti-grease filters see the assembly
instructions.
CARBON AND ZEOLITE FILTERS (OPTIONAL) KACL.961
In normal use conditions, we recommend regenerating the zeolite-carbon filter
every 9 months and replacing it after 18 months. Simply place it in a domestic
oven at a temperature of 200°C for approximately 1 hour to regenerate it.
Wait until the filter cools before reassembling it.
LIGHTING
The range hood is equipped with high efficiency, low consumption LED spot-
lights with an extremely long life-span under normal use conditions.
Should the LED spotlight need to be replaced, proceed as shown in the figure
.
