Efficient use in terms of energy saving
- When using your appliance, adjust the speed settings according to vapor and odor intensity, in order to save energy.
- Use low speeds (1-2) under normal conditions, and high speed (3) and boost mode for intense dour and vapor.
- The hood is equipped with lamps in order to illuminate the cooking area.
- Using them for environmental lighting shall cause unnecessary energy expenditure and insufficient lighting.
- For your device to consume less energy, run it at a low speed level.
- Your device will reduce energy consumption as it will run more efficiently when you provide sufficient air intake to it.
- Set your device to the intense suction power level before the formation of steam, in cases where you know that the dense steam will occur. So, you reduce energy consumption by using your device for a shorter time as it will have a sufficient air intake.
- Keep the lids of the cookware closed to reduce the steam evolving.
Operating the hood
- Hood is equipped with a motor having various speed settings.
- For a better performance, we advise you to use low speeds in normal conditions, and high speeds when smell and vapors are intensified.

Operation with flue connection
- Vapour is extracted through the flue duct, which is fastened to the connection head on the hood.
- The diameter of the flue duct must be the same as the connection ring. In horizontal settings, the pipe has to have a slight upward slope (around 10º) so that the air can exit the room easily.
- Air is filtered through the car-bon filter and recirculated in the room. Carbon filter is used when it is impossible to use a flue in the house.
- In flueless use, remove the flaps inside the flue adapter.
- Remove the oil filter. To install the car-bon filter, fit the filter to the tabs by centering it on the plastic piece on both sides of the fan body. Tighten it by turning right or left.

Hood installation
Before proceeding with the installation:
- Check that the dimensions of the purchased product are appropriate for the chosen destination.
- Disconnect and remove (if possible) furniture located in the hood installation area to gain easy access to the ceiling or wall on which the hood is to be mounted. If this is not possible, components in the vicinity of the work to be carried out must be secured.
- Check that there is a plug socket near the hood installation area and that it is possible to connect the hood to the ventilation duct carrying fumes to the outside.
- Check that there are no installation cables (electrical, hydraulic, etc.) in the areas to be drilled.
- Equip yourself with the following tools: tape measure, pencil, drill, Ø10 drill bit, screwdriver, spirit level.
Mounting options
The device can operate in two modes:
-
As an extractor: The fumes are discharged outside the room via an discharge pipe. The discharge pipe is not supplied with the device and must be purchased separately.
Use the shortest possible fume extraction duct.
Use a discharge pipe with the smoothest possible internal surface (spiro pipes are not recommended).
Use a line with as few bends as possible (bend angles should not be greater than 90°).
It is not recommended to change the
WARNING : The discharge pipe should be fitted to the outside of the turbine flange; if fitted to the inside, it may cause a fire. -
As an absorber: fumes are purified from oil and odours before being returned to the room through grilles in the upper duct cover. A charcoal filter must be installed in order for the hood to operate as an absorber. It is also advisable to install an air deflector, which improves the efficiency of the hood.
The air deflector must be cut to the pipe size so that it rests on the inner edge of the hood after installation.
Installation steps
-
Determine the axis of the heating element and transfer it to the wall where the hood will be installed. Mark all the characteristic fixing points of the hood. Use a drill and drill the holes.
-
Insert the raw plugs into the drilled holes. Also, insert screws into the two ho-les marked A, leaving 7 mm of screw length outside the rawlplug.
-
Remove the wall bracket section from the hood. To do this, unscrew the four M4x12 bolts shown in.
-
Hang the hood mounting bracket on the two undone screws.
-
Place a spirit level on the mount and align the element as indicated by the level; then, tighten the two screws al-ready partially screwed in and screw in the other two.
-
Fit the hood to the screwed-on mount so that the fixing is tucked into the hood. Use four M4x12 bolts and screw the hood to the mount.
