GENERAL

Carefully read the following important information regarding installation safety and maintenance. Keep this information booklet accessible for further consultations. The appliance has been designed for use in the ducting version (air exhaust to the outside – Fig.3A), filtering version (air circulation on the inside – Fig.3B) or with external motor (Fig.3C).

SAFETY PRECAUTION

Take care when the cooker hood is operating simultaneously with an open fireplace or burner that depend on the air in the environment and are supplied by other than electrical energy, as the cooker hood removes the air from the environment which a burner or fireplace need for combustion. The negative pressure in the environment must not exceed 4Pa (4×10-5 bar). Provide adequate ventilation in the environment for a safe operation of the cooker hood.
Follow the local laws applicable for external air evacuation.

Before connecting the model to the electricity network:

• Control the data plate (positioned inside the appliance) to ascertain that the voltage and power correspond to the network and the socket is suitable. If in doubt ask a qualified electrician.
• If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced with another cable or a special assembly, which may be obtained direct from the manufacturer or from the Technical Assistance Centre.
• This device must be connected to the supply network through either a plug fused 3A or hardwired to a 2 fase spur protected by 3A fuse.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Assembly and electrical connections must be carried out by specialised personnel.
• Wear protective gloves before proceeding with the installation.

Electric Connection

• The appliance has been manufactured as a class II, therefore no earth cable is necessary. The plug must be easily accessible after the installation of the appliance. If the appliance is equipped with power cord without plug, a suitably dimensioned omnipolar switch with 3 mm minimum opening between contacts must be fitted between the appliance and the electricity supply in compliance with the load and current regulations.
• The connection to the mains is carried out as follows:
  • BROWN = L line
  • BLUE = N neutral.
• The minimum distance between the support surfaces of the cooking pots on the cooker top and the lowest part of the cooker hood must be at least 65 cm. If a connection tube composed of two parts is used, the upper part must be placed outside the lower part. Do not connect the cooker hood exhaust to the same conductor used to circulate hot air or for evacuating fumes from other appliances generated by other than an electrical source. Before proceeding with the assembly operations, remove the anti-grease filter(s) (Fig.4) so that the unit is easier to handle.
• In the case of assembly of the appliance in the suction version prepare the hole for evacuation of the air.
• We recommend the use of an air exhaust tube which has the same diameter as the air exhaust outlet hole. If a pipe with a smaller diameter is used, the efficiency of the product may be reduced and its operation may become noisier.
• If your appliance has been designed for use in habitations supplied with acentralised suction device perform the following operations:
• The switch controls opening and closure of a valve using a thermoelectical device. By placing the switch in the ON position, after a minute, the valve opens rotating 90° allowing suction of the stale air. By placing the switch in the OFF position, the valve closes after 100 seconds.

installation

The following instruction should be followed to carry out the correct installation of the cooker hood.

1. Mounting of the cooker hood on the lower side of the cupboard.
2. Selection of the version (extraction Fig.3A or filtration Fig.3B).

Fixing the hood to the lower part of the wall cabinet:

This type of appliance must be fitted inside a cabinet or inside another type of support structure. To fix it in place, use 4 screws which are suitable for the type of cabinet, making holes in accordance with the diagram shown in (Fig.1). To fit the appliance correctly, align the front panel of the cooker hood with the cabinet door and adjust spacer L using screws P (Fig.2), then ensure the appliance meets the cabinet at the rear.

Extraction throuch an outside wall

The appliance expels the fumes through an outside wall or a duct. It is necessary to buy a telescopic pipe in accordance with the standards in use (inflammable) and connect it to flange H (Fig.3A).
As an alternative installation, require to your dealer a KIT of pensile side fittings (fig .2A).

Recireulation

To transform the cooker hood from the extraction version to the re circulating one ask your supplier for an activated carbon ter. The filter must be fitted to the extracting group cooker hood in the centre of the fan grille by twisting it by 90 degrees until it is gripped securely (Fig.5). For this operation remove the anti-grease filter(s) G (Fig.4). The clean air is returned into the room through a connecting tube passing inside the cupboard and connected to the ring H (Fig.3B).

USE AND MAINTENANCE

We recommend that the cooker hood is switched on before any food is cooked. We also recommend that the appliance is left running for 15 minutes after the food is cooked, in order to thoroughly eliminate all contaminated air. The effective performance of the cooker hood depends on constant maintenance; the anti-grease filter and the active carbon filter both require special attention.

• The anti-grease filteris responsible retaining the grease particles suspended in the air, therefore it is subject to clogging with variable frequency according to the use of the appliance.

  • To prevent the danger of possible fires, at least every 2 months one must wash the anti-grease filters by hand using non-abrasive neutral liquid detergents or in the dishwasher at low temperatures and on short cycles.
  • After a few washes, colour alterations may occur. This does not give the right to claim their replacement.

• The active carbon filters are used to purify the air that is sent back into the room and its function is to mitigate the unpleasant odours produced by cooking.
  – The non-regenerable active carbon filters must be replaced
  at least every 4 months. The saturation of the active charcoal
  depends on the more or less prolonged use of the appliance,
  on the type of kitchen and on the frequency with which anti-
  grease filter is cleaned.

• Before remounting the anti-grease filters and the regenerable active charcoal filters it is important that they

• Cleam plete hood frequently, both internally and externally, using a cloth dampened with denatured alcohol or neutral liquid detergents that are non abrasive.

• The lighting system is designed for use during cooking and not for the prolonged general lighting of the room. The prolonged use of the lighting system significantly decreases the average duration of the bulbs.

• If the appliance is equipped with courtesy lights it is possible to use them for general room lighting for a prolonged amount of time.

• Attention: the non compliance with the hood cleaning warnings and with the replacement and cleaning of the filters entails risk of fires. One therefore recommends keeping to the suggested instructions.
