Suggestions for 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.
Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a diameter equivalent
to the air outlet (connection flange). Using the tubes and discharge holes on
walls with smaller dimensions will cause a diminution of the suction
performance and a drastic increase in noise. Any responsibility in the matter
is therefore declined.
- Use a duct of the minimum indispensable length.
- Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow angle: 90°).
- Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.
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.
Installation
The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking equipment
on the hob and the lowest part of the range hood must be not less than 50cm
from electric cookers and 65cm from gas or mixed cookers. If the instructions
for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be
adhered to.
Electrical connection
The mains power supply must correspond to the rating indicated on the plate
situated inside the hood. If provided with a plug connect the hood to a socket
in compliance with current regulations and positioned in an accessible area,
after installation. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or
if the plug is not located in an accessible area, after installation, apply a
double pole switch in accordance with standards which assures the complete
disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to over-current category
III, in accordance with installation instructions.
WARNING!
Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains supply and checking the
efficient function, always check that the mains cable is correctly assembled.
The hood is provided with a special power cable ; if the cable is damaged,
request a new one from Technical Service.

Maintenance
Cleaning
Clean using ONLY a cloth dampened with neutral liquid detergent. DO NOT CLEAN
WITH TOOLS OR INSTRUMENTS. Do not use abrasive products. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!
Grease filter
Traps cooking grease particles. This must be cleaned once a month (or when the
filter saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in possession
– indicates this necessity) using non aggressive detergents, either by hand or
in the dishwasher, which must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle.
When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolor slightly, but this
does not affect its filtering capacity. To remove the grease filter, pull the
spring release handle.
Charcoal filter (filter version only)
It absorbs unpleasant odors caused by cooking. The activated charcoal filter
can be one of these types:
- Washable activated charcoal filter.
- NON-washable activated charcoal filter.
Washable activated charcoal filter
The charcoal filter can be washed once every two months using hot water and a
suitable detergent, or in a dishwasher at 65°C (if the dishwasher is used,
select the full cycle function and leave dishes out). Eliminate excess water
without damaging the filter, then remove the mattress located inside the
plastic frame and put it in the oven for 10 minutes at 100° C to dry
completely. Replace the mattress every 3 years and when the cloth is damaged.
NON-washable activated charcoal filter
The saturation of the charcoal filter occurs after more or less prolonged use,
depending on the type of cooking and the regularity of cleaning of the grease
filter. In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least every
four months. The charcoal filter may NOT be washed or regenerated.
Assembly
Hook the charcoal filter at the back on the metal tongue of the hood first,
then on the front with the two knobs.
Disassembly
Remove the charcoal filter by turning the knobs fixing it to the hood by 90°.
Replacing lamps
The hood is equipped with a lighting system based on LED technology. The LEDs
guarantee optimum lighting, a duration up to 10 times as long as the
traditional lamps and allow to save 90% electrical energy. For replacement,
contact the technical service.
