If the installation instructions of the gas hob require a greater distance, this must be taken into account (Fig. 2).
- Do not connect the appliance to the mains until installation is fully completed.
- As for the technical and safety measures to be adopted for the discharge of fumes, strictly comply with the provisions of the regulations specified by the competent local authorities.
- Extracted air shall not be conveyed into a duct used for the discharge of fumes produced by appliances burning gas or other fuels.
- Do not use or leave the hood without its lamps properly fitted, as it may result in potential electric shock risk.
- NEVER use the hood without its grid/ filters properly fitted!
- The hood should NEVER be used as a support surface unless specifically indicated. The maximum total weight of any objects positioned or hung on the hood (where applicable), must not exceed 1.5Kg.
- For installation, use only the fixing screws supplied with the appliance or, in case they are not supplied, purchase the correct type of screws.
- Use screws with the correct length specified in the documentation.
- Contact the authorized service center or similar qualified personnel in case of doubts.
CAUTION!
Failure to install screws and fixing devices in accordance with these
instructions may result in electrical risk.
Do not use the appliance with a programmer, timer, separate remote control, or
any other device that activates automatically.
ASSEMBLY
Before starting installation:
- Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the area where it is to be installed.
- Check that (for transportation purposes) there is no material inside the hood (e.g. bags with screws, warranties, etc.), which needs to be removed and stored for future use.
Follow the installation instructions specified below:
- The appliance shall be installed at the required distance from the cooking surface (Gas hob : 650mm / Electric hob: 500mm) – (Fig.2).
- Remove the three metal grease filters (Fig.3-B).
- Drill the holes on the wall according to the template provided (see Fig. 4).
- Use the inserts to fix the hood (Fig. 5).
- Hang the hood on the wall (A), and secure it with the screws (C) (Fig.6).
- Position the bracket (D) and secure it to the wall (B) (Fig. 6).
- Adjust the telescopic chimney elements and secure it to the bracket (D) (Fig.7).
CAUTION!
Heavy-weight product: hood handling and installation should be carried out by
at least two people or more.
ELECTRIC CONNECTION
The mains voltage shall be the same as the voltage shown on the rating label
found inside the hood. If the hood is equipped with a plug, connect the hood
to a socket compliant with current regulations, which can be easily reachable
even after installation. If the hood is not equipped with a plug (direct
connection to the mains) or the plug is not located in an easily accessible
area, even after installation, use a standard- compliant two-pole switch that
ensures complete disconnection from the mains under overvoltage category III ,
in accordance with current installation rules and norms.
CAUTION!
Before reconnecting the hood circuit to power supply and verifying proper
operation, always check that the mains lead/cable has been fitted correctly.
The hood is equipped with a special power cord; if the cord is damaged, send a
request to the technical service department.
HOW TO USE THE APPLIANCE
Tips for the hood proper correct use aimed at reducing environmental impact:
Turn on the hood at minimum speed when you start cooking , and leave it on for
a few minutes even after cooking has been completed . Increase the speed only
in the case of large amounts of fumes and vapors, using the booster function
only when absolutely necessary. To keep the odor reduction system efficient,
replace the charcoal filter(s) as needed. To keep the grease filter efficient
, clean it when necessary. Use a ducting system of the maximum diameter
indicated in this manual, in order to optimize efficiency and minimize noise.
The hood has been designed to be used either in the extraction mode with air
discharged outside the room, or in the recycling mode with air internal
recirculation
EXTRACTION MODE
Vapors are discharged to the outside through an exhaust pipe fixed to the
connecting flange.
CAUTION!
The exhaust pipe is generally not supplied with the appliance and must be
purchased separately. The exhaust pipe diameter should ideally be the same as
the diameter of the connecting ring (connecting flange) (Ø150/ Ø120 – page 3).
CAUTION!
If the hood is equipped with charcoal filter(s), they must be removed in the
case the hood is operated in the extraction mode.
Connect the hood to pipes and wall outlets having the same diameter as the air
outlet (connecting flange). The use of pipes and wall outlets with a smaller
diameter will result in a decrease in extraction performance and a high
increase in noise level . We therefore decline all liability in this regard.
Use a pipe of the necessary length. In horizontal sections, the pipe should
have a slight slope (approx. 10%) to better convey the air to the outside of
the room.
– Use a duct with as few bends as possible (maximum bend angle: ≤90°).
– Avoid abrupt changes in duct cross-section.
Only for Germany: When the cooker hood and appliances powered by energy other
than electricity are operating simultaneously, the negative pressure in the
room shall not exceed 4 Pa (4 x 10-5 bar).
RECYCLING MODE
The air extracted is ‘degreased’ and ‘deodorized’ before being conveyed back
into the room.
To use the hood in this mode, you need to fit an additional filtering system
based on charcoal filters, in case your hood is not already equipped with it,
by simply following the instructions given in the recirculating kit (page 3).
CONTROLS
-
ON: light ON
OFF: light OFF -
The hood motor is switched on and off. When switched on, the hood starts working at first speed.
-
The motor speed is decreased.
The motor speed is increased . This hood model has 4 speeds. The 4th speed is timed: the motor will automatically switch to 3rd speed after 7 minutes of operation. -
It allows automatic switching off of the hood after 15 minutes of operation at 1,2,3 speed (flashing light key).
LIGHTING
The hood is equipped with a lighting system based on LED technology (2 LEDs of
1.5W), which ensures optimal lighting and a duration up to 10 times longer
than traditional lamps, thus allowing for considerable energy savings.
For lamp replacement, please contact the technical assistance service.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Clean the hood using ONLY a cloth dampened with neutral liquid detergent.
DO NOT USE ANY TOOLS OR OTHER INSTRUMENTS FOR CLEANING OPERATIONS!
Avoid using products containing abrasive substances.
DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!
Grease Filter
Captures grease particles produced during cooking. It must be cleaned once a
month, using non-aggressive detergents; it can be hand washed or washed in the
dishwasher at low temperatures and on a short cycle. The metal grease filter
may fade when washed in the dishwasher, yet this will in no way not affect its
filtering efficiency.
Charcoal Filter (For recycling version only) Retains unpleasant cooking odors.
The charcoal filter must be replaced (or regenerated – depending on the model:
supplied/optional every two months.
