SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
Installation operations are to be carried out by skilled and qualified
installers in accordance with the instructions in this booklet and in
compliance with the regulations in force. DO NOT use the hood if the power
supply cable or other components are damaged: disconnect the hood from the
electrical power supply and contact the Dealer or an authorized Servicing
Dealer for repairs. Do not modify the electrical, mechanical or functional
structure of the equipment. Do not personally try to carry out repairs or
replacements. Interventions carried out by incompetent and unauthorized
persons can cause serious damage to the unit or physical and personal harm,
not covered by the Manufacturer’s warranty.
WARNINGS FOR THE INSTALLER TECHNICAL SAFETY
Before installing the hood, check the integrity and function of each part.
Should anomalies be noted, do not proceed with installation and contact the
Dealer. Do NOT install the hood if an aesthetic (or cosmetic)
the defect has been detected. Put it back into its original package and
contact the dealer. No claim can be made for aesthetic (or cosmetic) defects
once it has been installed. During installation, always use personal
protective equipment (e.g.: Safety shoes) and adopt prudent and proper
conduct.
The installation kit (screws and plugs) supplied with the hood is only to be used on masonry walls: in case of installation on walls of a different material, assess other installation options keeping in mind the type of wall surface and the weight of the hood (indicated on page 2). Keep in mind that installations with different types of fastening systems from those supplied, or which are not compliant, can cause electrical and mechanical seal danger. Do not install the hood outdoors and do not expose it to atmospheric elements (rain, wind, etc.).
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The electrical system to which the hood is to be connected must be in
accordance with local standards and supplied with an earthed connection in
compliance with safety regulations in the country of use. It must also comply
with European standards regarding radio antistatic properties. Before
installing the hood, check that the electrical mains power supply corresponds
with what is reported on the identification plate located inside the hood. The
socket used to connect the installed equipment to the electrical power supply
must be within reach: otherwise, install a mains switch to disconnect the hood
when required.
Any changes to the electrical system must be carried out by a qualified
electrician. The maximum length of the flue fastening screws (supplied by the
manufacturer) must be 13 mm. The use of non-compliant screws with these
instructions can lead to the danger of an electrical nature. Do not try to
solve the problem yourself in the event of equipment malfunction, but contact
the Dealer or an authorized Servicing Department for repairs.
When installing the hood, disconnect the equipment by removing the plug or
switching off the main switch.
FUMES DISCHARGE SAFETY
Do no connect the equipment to discharge pipes of fumes produced from combustion (for example boilers, fireplaces, etc.). Before installing the hood, ensure that all standards in force regarding the discharge of air out of the room have been complied with. Deviation for Australia and New Zealand: Range hoods and other cooking fume extractors may adversely affect the safe operation of appliances burning gas or other fuels (including those in other rooms) due to the backflow of combustion gases. These gases can potentially result in carbon monoxide poisoning. After installation of a range hood or other cooking fume extractor, the operation of flued gas appliances should be tested by a competent person to ensure that the backflow of combustion gases does not occur. (AS/NZS 60335.2.31:2013/A4:2020).
USER WARNINGS
These warnings have been drawn up for your personal safety and those of
others. You are therefore kindly asked to read the booklet carefully in its
entirety before using or cleaning the equipment. The Manufacturer declines all
responsibility for any damage caused directly, or indirectly, to persons,
things, and pets as a consequence of failing to comply with the safety
warnings indicated in this booklet. It is imperative that this instructions
booklet is kept together with the equipment for any future consultation. If
the equipment is sold or transferred to another person, make sure that the
booklet is also supplied so that the new user can be made aware of the hood’s
operation and relative warnings.
After the stainless steel hood has been installed, it will need to be cleaned to remove any residues remaining from the protection adhesive as well as any grease and oil stains which, if not removed, can cause irreversible damage to the hood surface. To properly clean the unit, the manufacturer recommends using the supplied moist wipes, which are also available and sold separately. Insist on original spare parts.
INTENDED USE
The equipment is solely intended to be used to extract fumes generated from cooking food in non-professional domestic kitchens: any other use is improper. Improper use can cause damage to persons, things, and pets and exempts the Manufacturer from any liability. The equipment can be used by children over the age of 8 and by persons with reduced physical, sensory, and mental abilities, or with no experience or knowledge, as long as they do so under supervision or after having received relative instructions regarding the safe use of the equipment and understanding of the dangers connected to it.

USE AND CLEANING WARNINGS
Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance operations, disconnect the equipment by removing the plug or switching off the main switch. Do not use the hood with wet hands or bare feet. Always check that all electrical parts (lights, extractor fan) are off when the equipment is not being used. The maximum overall weight of any objects placed or hung (if applicable) on the hood must not exceed 1.5 Kg. Always supervise the cooking process during the use of deep-fryers: Overheated oil can catch fire.
Do not leave open, unattended flames under the hood. Do not prepare food over an open flame under the hood. Never use the hood without the metal anti-grease filters: in this case, grease and dirt will deposit in the equipment and compromise its operation. Accessible parts of the hood can be hot when used at the same time as the cooking appliances. Do not carry out any cleaning operations when parts of the hood are still hot. There can be a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out according to the instructions and products indicated in this booklet.
Disconnect the main switch when the equipment is not used for long periods of
time. If other appliances that use gas or other fuels are being used at the
same time (boiler, stove, fireplaces, etc.), make sure the room
where the fumes are discharged is well-ventilated, in compliance with the
local regulations.
INSTALLATION
only intended for qualified personnel Before installing the hood, carefully
read the chapter ‘SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS’. TECHNICAL FEATURES
The technical specifications are exhibited on the labels located inside the

MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance operations, disconnect the equipment by removing the plug or switching off the main switch. Do not use detergents containing abrasive, acidic or corrosive substances or abrasive cloths. Regular maintenance guarantees proper operation and performance over time. Special attention is to be paid to the metal anti-grease filters: frequent cleaning of the filters and their supports ensures that no flammable grease is accumulated.
CLEANING OF EXTERNAL SURFACES
You are advised to clean the external surfaces of the hood at least once every
15 days to prevent oily substances and grease from sticking to them. To clean
the brushed stainless steel hood, the Manufacturer recommends using “Magic
Steel” wipes. Alternatively and for all the other types of surfaces, it can be
cleaned using a damp cloth, slightly moistened with mild, liquid detergent or
denatured alcohol. Complete cleaning by rinsing well and drying with soft
cloths. Do not use too much moisture or water around the push button control
panel and lighting devices in order to prevent humidity from reaching
electronic parts.
The glass panels can only be cleaned with specific, non-corrosive, or non- abrasive detergents using a soft cloth. The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for failure to comply with these instructions.
CLEANING OF INTERNAL SURFACES
Do not clean electrical parts, or parts related to the motor inside the hood,
with liquids or solvents. For the internal metal parts, see the previous
paragraph.
METAL ANTI-GREASE FILTERS
It is advised to frequently wash the metal filters (at least once a month)
leaving them to soak in boiling water and cleaning solution for 1 hour, taking
care not to bend them. Do not use corrosive, acid or alkaline detergents.
Rinse them well and wait for them to be completely dry before reassembling
them. Washing in a dishwasher is permitted, however, it may cause the filter
material to darken: to reduce the possibility of this problem happening, use
low-temperature washes (55°C max.). To extract and insert the metal anti-
grease filters see the assembly instructions.
ACTIVE CARBON FILTERS
These filters retain the odors in the air that passes through them. The
purified air is recirculated into the environment. The active carbon filters
must be replaced on average every 3-4 months under normal conditions of use.
See assembly instructions to replace the active carbon filters.
LIGHTING
The range hood is equipped with high-efficiency, low-consumption LED
spotlights with an extremely long lifespan under normal use conditions. Should
the LED spotlight need to be replaced, proceed as shown in the figure.
