SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
Installation operations are to be carried out by skilled and qualified
installers in accordance with the instructions in this booklet and in
compliance with the regulations in force.
DO NOT use the hood if the power supply cable or other components are damaged:
disconnect the hood from the electrical power supply and contact the Dealer or
an authorized Servicing Dealer for repairs. Do not modify the electrical,
mechanical or functional structure of the equipment. Do not personally try to
carry out repairs or replacements. Interventions carried out by incompetent
and unauthorised persons can cause serious damage to the unit or physical and
personal harm, not covered by the Manufacturer’s warranty.
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.
When installing the hood, disconnect the equipment by removing the plug or switching off the main switch.
FUMES DISCHARGE SAFETY
Do no connect the equipment to discharge pipes of fumes produced from
combustion (for example boilers, fireplaces, etc.).
Before installing the hood, ensure that all standards in force regarding
discharge of air out of the room have been complied with.
Deviation for Australia and New Zeeland: Range hoods and other cooking fume
extractors may adversely affect the safe operation of appliances burning gas
or other fuels (including those in other rooms) due to back flow of combustion
gases. These gases can potentially result in carbon monoxide poisoning. After
installation of a range hood or other cooking fume extractor, the operation of
flued gas appliances should be tested by a competent person to ensure that
back flow of combustion gases does not occur. (AS/NZS 60335.2.31:2013/A4:2020)
USER WARNINGS
These warnings have been drawn up for your personal safety and those of
others. You are therefore kindly asked to read the booklet carefully in its
entirety before using the or cleaning the equipment.
The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage caused directly,
or indirectly, to persons, things and pets as a consequence of failing to
comply with the safety warnings indicated in this booklet. It is imperative
that this instructions booklet is kept together with the equipment for any
future consultation.
If the equipment is sold or transferred to another person, make sure that the
booklet is also supplied so that the new user can be made aware of the hood’s
operation and relative warnings. After the stainless steel hood has been
installed, it will need to be cleaned to remove any residues remaining from
the protection adhesive as well as any grease and oil stains which, if not
removed, can cause irreversible damage to the hood surface. To properly clean
the unit, the manufacturer recommends using the supplied moist wipes, which
are also available sold separately. Insist on original spare parts.
INTENDED USE
The equipment is solely intended to be used to extract fumes generated from
cooking food in non-professional domestic kitchens: any other use is improper.
Improper use can cause damage to persons, things, pets and exempts the
Manufacturer from any liability.
If other appliances that use gas or other fuels are being used at the same
time (boiler, stove, fireplaces, etc.), make sure the room where the fumes are
discharged is well-ventilated, in compliance with the local regulations.
The equipment can be used by children over the age of 8 and by persons with reduced physical, sensory and mental abilities, or with no experience or knowledge, as long as they do so under supervision or after having received relative instructions regarding safe use of the equipment and understanding of the dangers connected to it. Children are not to play with the equipment. Cleaning and maintenance by the user must not be carried out by children without supervision.
USE AND CLEANING WARNINGS
Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance operations, disconnect the
equipment by removing the plug or switching off the main switch.
Do not use the hood with wet hands or bare feet. Always check that all
electrical parts (lights, extractor fan) are off when the equipment is not
being used. The maximum overall weight of any objects placed or hung (if
applicable) on the hood must not exceed 1.5 Kg.
Always supervise the cooking process during the use of deep-fryers: Overheated
oil can catch fire.
Do not leave open, unattended flames under the hood. Do not prepare food over
an open flame under the hood.
Never use the hood without the metal anti-grease filters: in this case, grease
and dirt will deposit in the equipment and compromise its operation.
Accessible parts of the hood can be hot when used at the same time as the
cooking appliances. Do not carry out any cleaning operations when parts of the
hood are still hot. There can be a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out
according to the instructions and products indicated in this booklet.
Disconnect the main switch when the equipment is not used for long periods of
time.
If other appliances that use gas or other fuels are being used at the same time (boiler, stove, fireplaces, etc.), make sure the room where the fumes are discharged is well-ventilated, in compliance with the local regulations.
INSTALLATION
only intended for qualified personnel
Before installing the hood, carefully read the chapter ‘SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
AND WARNINGS’.
TECHNICAL FEATURES
The technical specifications are exhibited on the labels located inside the
hood.
POSITIONING
The minimum distance between the highest part of the cooking equipment and the
lowest part of the hood is indicated in the installation instructions.
Generally, when the hood is placed over gas cookers, the distance must be at
least 65 cm (25.6”). However, according to standard EN60335-2-31, the minimum
distance between the cooker and lower part of the hood can be reduced to the
quota reported in the installation instructions. Should the instructions for
the gas cooker specify a greater distance, this must be taken into
consideration. Do not install the hood outdoors and do not expose it to
outdoor environment (rain, wind, etc.).
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (only intended for qualified personnel)
Disconnect the equipment from electrical mains power supply before carrying
out any operations on the hood. Ensure that the wires inside the hood are not
disconnected or cut: in the event of damage, contact your nearest Servicing
Department. Refer to qualified personnel for electrical connections.
Connection must be carried out in compliance with the provisions of law in
force. Before connecting the hood to the electrical mains power supply, check
that:
- voltage supply corresponds with what is reported on the data plate located inside the hood;
- the electrical system is compliant and can withstand the load (see the technical specifications located inside the hood);
- the power supply plug and cable do not come into contact with temperatures exceeding 70 °C;
- the power supply system is effectively and properly connected to earth in compliance with regulations in force;
- the socket used to connect the hood is within reach.
In case of:
- devices fitted with cables without a plug: the type of plug to use is a ”standardized” one. The wires must be connected as follows: yellow-green for earthing, blue for neutral and brown for the phase. The plug must be connected to an adequate safety socket.
- fixed equipment not provided with a power supply cable and plug, or any other device that ensures disconnection from the electrical mains, with an opening gap of the contacts that enables total disconnection in overvoltage category III conditions. Said disconnection devices must be provided in the mains power supply in compliance with installation regulations.
The yellow/green earth cable must not be cut off by the switch. The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for failure to comply with the safety regulations.
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 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)
In this model, air passes through the active carbon filters HP (optional) to
be purified and is then recycled into the environment.
Ensure that the active carbon filters HP 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 only intended for personnel qualified
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 vapours towards the suction surface. After cooking, leave the hood
operating until complete extraction of all vapours and odours. 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 odours and vapours.
4th speed: rapid disposal of odours and vapours.
WHEN SHOULD THE FILTERS BE WASHED OR REPLACED?
The metal filters must be cleaned every 30 hours of operation. The active
carbon filters must be replaced every 3-4 months, depending on the use of the
hood. For further details see the “MAINTENANCE” chap.

MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance operations, disconnect the equipment by removing the plug or switching off the main switch. 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 (55°C max.). To extract and insert the metal anti-
grease filters see the assembly instructions.
HP/ACTIVE CARBON FILTERS (optional)
These filters retain the odours in the air that passes through them. The
purified air is recirculated into the environment. The HP active carbon
filters reactivate by washing them in the dishwasher with a normal detergent
at a maximum temperature of 65°C and passing them in the oven at 100°C for 10
minutes. The maximum duration of the filter is 2/3 years with a maximum of 10
washings per year.
LIGHTING
The range hood is equipped with high efficiency, low consumption LED
spotlights with an extremely long life-span under normal use conditions.
Should the LED spotlight need to be replaced, proceed as shown in the figure.
