USE

This hood has been designed to work exclusively in filtering mode.
The aspirated fumes pass through the Plasma filter and are re-introduced into the kitchen without odors (Fig. 4.1).

OPERATION

The hood is equipped with a multi-speed motor. It is advisable to use the low speed in normal conditions and the other speeds when high concentrations of odours or vapours are present. It is also advisable to start the hood when cooking begins and to keep it running until the odours have disappeared.
V.1 Operating the hood controls

The controls on the hood (Fig. 5.1.1) are fitted with the following buttons:
TL: Lamp switch on/off and light temperature adjustment.
T1: Switch-on at speed 1 and extractor off.
T2-T3: Operation at speeds 2 and 3 respectively.
T4: Intensive speed setting (maximum extraction), the extractor operates at this speed for 5 minutes (with button flashing) and then automatically switches speed 3.
TR: 24-hour Comfort function
PL: Plasma filter operation LED indicator light

Light adjustment:
TL single click: on/off at the stored brightness and temperature.
TL double click when off: minimum brightness (10% brightness, ambient light).
TL long press (for more than 1 second) when on: brightness adjustment:

• Starting from stored setting, DOWN → UP adjustment, when not released, the maximum brightness is set.
• With an additional long press, the UP → DOWN adjustment is carried out to the minimum brightness.
• When the button is released, both at maximum/minimum or during adjustment, the desired intensity is stored for the next switch-on.
  TL+TR with light on: colour temperature adjustment (same procedure as intensity adjustment).

V.2 Remote control operation

Remote control encoding
The included remote control is already encoded and ready to fully control the hood.
In the event that the remote control is replaced, a new encoding is required.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Warning! Before any maintenance or cleaning operation, disconnect the hood from the power supply by setting the main switch of the domestic system to “off”.
VI.1 Metal anti-grease filter
Particular attention should be paid to the metal grease filter, which has the function of retaining the fat particles contained in the vapors. The grease filter must be washed when the warning appears or at least once a month, use hot water and detergent (or put it in the dishwasher). The filter may become discolored after a few washes. This is normal and does not mean that it needs to be replaced.
To remove the metal anti-grease filter, use the handle on the filter itself (Fig. 6.1.1).
It is recommended to refit the metal grease filter only if perfectly dry.
ATTENTION : the grease collected in the filters can easily catch fire and it is therefore extremely important to clean the metallic filters regularly as per instructions

VI.2 Plasma anti-odour filter
The Plasma anti-odour filter does not require any special maintenance and its lifetime is approximately 10 years,
maintaining its efficiency in eliminating odours, viruses and bacteria in the air.
Correct operation of the Plasma filter is indicated by a green LED indicator light (Fig. 5.1.1-PL) on the hood controls.
The filter is automatically activated when air flows through it. The LED indicator light (Fig. 5.1.1-PL) is therefore always
switched on when the extractor is in operation, which means that the filter itself is operating correctly.
VI.3 Hood Cleaning
The hood must be cleaned frequently both internally and externally (at least once a month).
Do not allow dirt to accumulate on the surfaces of the hood.
Do not use acid or basic products or abrasive sponges to clean the external parts of the hood. Clean the hood with a sponge moistened with hot water and a small quantity of neutral soap (for example dish soap) to eliminate any grease particles that may have deposited.
Rinse with a damp cloth, carefully remove all the soap, and dry. Drying is particularly important, especially in areas where the water is very hard and leaves limescale deposits.

VI.4 Lighting
The hood is equipped with LED lighting which, in addition to offering excellent lighting and limited energy consumption, guarantee a considerable duration over time.
Both the brightness and temperature of the hood’s LED lighting be adjusted (see the OPERATION section).
