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.
**WARNING! If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid hazard.
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.

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 .

Operation

The hood is fitted with a control panel with aspiration speed selection control and a light switch to control cooking area lights.

T1. ON/OFF light switch
T2. Speed 1/OFF switch
T3. 2-speed selection
T4. 3-speed selection

1. Lights ON/OFF

2. Motor ON/OFF
   When key “2” is pressed the motor passes to speed 1.
   If the key is pressed during working, the hood passes to OFF state.

3. Speed decrease
   When key “3” is pressed the speed decreases from 4 (intense) to 1.

4. Speed increase
   When key “4” is pressed with the hood in OFF state, the hood passes to speed

5. If the key is pressed during working, the speed increases from 1 to 4 (intense).
   The intense speed is timed. The standard timing is 5’, at the end of which the hood sets at speed 2.
   To deactivate the function before the end of the time, press key “3”, the hood sets at speed 3, when key “2” is pressed the hood turns off.
   A signal on the display corresponds to each speed: OFF:
   No signal
   Speed 1: 1
   Speed 2: 2
   Speed 3: 3
   Speed 4: 4 flashing

6. Display

Grease filter signalling
The grease filter is signalled by the display with number 1 flashing after 40 hours of use.
This means that the grease filter needs to be washed.
The signalling is visible with the hood in ON state.
To eliminate the grease filter signaling, press key “2” for more than 3”, until it turns off.
The signaling can be eliminated with the hood in ON state.

Carbon filter signalling (only for filtering version)
The carbon filter is signalled by the display with number 2 flashing after 160 hours of use.
This means that the carbon filter installed must be replaced.
The signalling is visible with the hood in ON state.
To eliminate the carbon filter signalling, press key “2” for more than 3”, until it turns off.
The signalling can be eliminated with the hood in ON state.
In case both filters are signalled at the same time, numbers 1 and 2 flash on the display alternately.
The signalling can be reset by carrying out the abovedescribed procedure twice. First it resets the grease filter signalling, then the carbon filter signalling.
In the standard mode the carbon filter signalling is not active.
In case the filtering version hood is used, it is necessary to enable the carbon filter signalling.

Activation of carbon filter signalling:
Set the hood to OFF and keep keys “2” and “3” pressed contemporaneously for 3”.
Numbers 1 and 2 flash alternately for 2”.
Deactivation of carbon filter signalling:
Set the hood to OFF and keep keys “2” and “3” pressed contemporaneously for 3”.
Number 1 flashes for 2”.

Temperature Alarm
The hood is equipped with a temperature sensor which activates the motor at speed 3 in case the temperature in the display zone is too high.
The alarm condition is indicated by the display with the letter t flashing.
This condition remains as such until the temperature falls below the alarm threshold.
This mode can be quit by pressing key “2”, “3” or “4”.
Every 30” the sensor checks the ambient temperature of the display zone.

Maintenance

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
Fig. 1-9
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) Fig. 18
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.

Replacing lamps
The hood is equipped with a lighting system based on LED technology.
The LEDs guarantee an optimum lighting, a duration up to 10 times longer than the traditional lamps and allow to save 90% electrical energy.
The lighting system cannot be replaced by the user, contact Customer Service in case of malfunction.

On some models ONLY:
A Non Return Backdraft Damper is included in the supply, as optional accessory to be installed under certain installation conditions (i.e. if there is no protection against  accidental backdraft of air from the outside). The damper must be installed inside the dedicated housing, inside of the Air Outlet Fitting, before installing the flue. Fig. 15
