DH 540 IXL Hood
Note: the elements marked with the symbol “()” are optional accessories
supplied only with some models or elements to purchase, not supplied.
Check (for transport reasons) that there is no other supplied material inside
the hood (e.g. packets with screws (), guarantees (*), etc.), eventually
removing them and keeping them.
Closely follow the instructions set out in this manual.
All responsibility, for any eventual inconveniences, damages, or fires caused
by not complying with the instructions in this manual, is declined. This
appliance is intended to be used in households and similar applications such
as: – staff kitchen areas in shops, offices, and other working environments; –
farm houses; – clients in hotels, motels, and other residential-type
environments; – bed and breakfast-type environments.
The hood is supplied with an upper air outlet (A1 – attachment to bayonet
fitting + screw) for exterior fume extraction (Aspiration version A), remove
the corresponding removable metal panel and install the tube connector.
Check that selector G is in suction position (A). If it is not possible to
discharge the cooking fumes and steam outside, the filtering version hood can
be used, mounting a carbon filter (*). The fumes and steam are recycled
through a front grill placed over the command panel (do not remove the pre-
fractural walls!). Check that selector G is in the filtering position (F).
Caution
Before any cleaning or maintenance operation, disconnect the hood from the
mains by removing the plug or disconnecting the mains’ electrical supply.

from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
Do not use or leave the hood without the lamp correctly mounted due to the
possible risk of electric shocks.
Never use the hood without effectively mounted grids.
The hood must NEVER be used as a support surface unless specifically
indicated.

Suggestions for correct use in order to reduce the environmental impact: Switch ON the hood at minimum speed when you start cooking and kept it running for a few minutes after cooking is finished. Increase the speed only in case of large amounts of smoke and vapor and use boost speed(s) only in extreme situations. Replace the charcoal filter(s) when necessary to maintain good odor reduction efficiency. Clean the grease filter(s) when necessary to maintain good grease filter efficiency. Use the maximum diameter of the ducting system indicated in this manual to optimize efficiency and minimize noise.
Installation
The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking equipment
on the hob and the lowest part of the range hood must be not less than 50cm
from electric cookers and 65cm from gas or mixed cookers.
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater
distance, this must be adhered to.
The template (*) can be used for installation.
Electrical connection
The mains power supply must correspond to the rating indicated on the plate
situated inside the hood. If provided with a plug connect the hood to a socket
in compliance with current regulations and positioned in an accessible area,
after installation. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or
if the plug is not located in an accessible area, after installation, apply a
double pole switch in accordance with standards which assures the complete
disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to over-current category
III, in accordance with installation instructions.
