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.1B), fi ltering version (air circulation on the inside – Fig.1A).

Safety precaution

Take care when the cooker hood is operating simultaneously with an open fi replace 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 fi replace 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 qualifi ed electrician fi gure 1C.
• 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.

Warning!
In certain circumstances electrical appliances may be a danger hazard.

• A) Do not check the status of the filters while the cooker hood is operating
• B) Do not touch bulbs or adjacent areas, during or straight after prolonged use of the lighting installation.
• C) Flambè cooking is prohibited underneath the cooker hood
• D) Avoid free flame, as it is damaging for the filters and a fi re-hazard
• E) Constantly check food frying to avoid that the overheated oil may become a fire-hazard
• F) Disconnect the electrical plug prior to any mainte-nance.
• G) This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infi rm persons without supervision

Installation instructions

Assembly and electrical connections must be carried out by specialised personnel.

Electric Connection
The appliance has been manufactured as a class II, therefore no earth cable is necessary.
The connection to the mains is carried out as follows: BROWN = L line
BLUE = N neutral
If not provided, connect a plug for the electrical load indicated on the description label. Where a plug is provided, the cooker hood must be installed in order that the plug is easily accessible. An omnipolar switch with a minimum opening of 3mm between contacts, in line with the electri-cal load and local standards, must be placed between the appliance and the network in the case of direct connection to the electrical network.

• 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 antigrease filter(s) (Fig.8) 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 pipe with a diameter of 150.
• If a pipe with a smaller diameter is used, the efficiency of the product may be reduced and its operation may become noisier

Please note:
If your version of the appliance has decorative glass before installing the hood, carry out the following steps as shown in figure 4:

1. Remove both the cooker hood body B and the glass panel A from the packaging and place them horizontally on a secure surface.
2. Take the glass panel A and position it above the cooker hood body B.
3. Fix the glass panel securely to the cooker hood body using the 4 sleeves C and 4 screws D as indicated.

Fixing to the wall

• Drill the holes A1 respecting the distances indicated (Fig.2).
• Fix the appliance to the wall and align it in horizontal posi-tion to the wall units.
• When the appliance has been adjusted, definitely fix the hood using the screws A2 (Fig.5).
• For the various installations use screws and screw an-chors suited to the type of wall (e.g. reinforced concrete, plasterboard, etc.).
• If the screws and screw anchors are provided with the product, check that they are suitable for the type of wall on which the hood is to be fixed.

Fixing the decorative telescopic flue
warning! If your appliance model features the lower connector with a tab, before fixing it in place bend the tab inwards using a pair of pliers, as illustrated in figure 5, step1.

• Take care not to scratch the duct; wear gloves when removing the protective film. (Fig. 3A).
• Arrange the electrical power supply within the dimensions of the decorative flue.
• If your appliance is to be installed in the ducting version or in the version with external motor, prepare the air exhaust opening.
• Adjust the width of the support bracket of the upper flue (Fig.3B).
• Then fix it to the ceiling using the screws A (Fig.3B) in such a way that it is in line with your hood and respecting the distance from the ceiling indicated in Fig.2. Connect the fl ange C to the air exhaust hole using a con-nection pipe (Fig.5).
• Insert the upper flue into the lower flue. Fix the lower flue to the hood using the screws B provided (Fig.5), extract the upper flue up to the bracket and fix it with the screws B (Fig.3B).
• To transform the hood from a ducting version into a fi ltering version, ask your dealer for the charcoal filters and follow the installation instructions.

Filtering version

• Install the hood and the two flues as described in the paragraph for installation of the hood in ducting version.
• To assemble the filtering flue refer to the instructions contained in the kit.
• If the kit is not provided, order it from your dealer as accessory.
• The filters must be applied to the suction unit positioned inside the hood.
• They must be centred by turning them 90 degrees until the stop catch is tripped (Fig.9).

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 filter is used to trap any grease particles suspended in the air, therefore is subject to saturation (the time it takes for the fi lter to become saturated depends on the way in which the appliance is used).

  • To prevent potential fi re-hazards, the anti-grease filters should be washed a minimum of every 2 months (it is possible to use the dishwasher for this task).
  • After a few washes, the colour of the fi lters may change. This does not mean they have to be replaced.
    If the replacement and washing instructions are not followed, the anti-grease filters may present a fire hazard.

• The active carbon filters are used to purify the air which is released back into the room.
  The filters are not washable or reusable and must be replaced at least once every four months.
  The active carbon filter saturation level depends on the frequency with which the appliance is used, the type of cooking performed and the regularity with which the anti-grease fi lters are cleaned.

• Clean the cooker hood frequently, both inside and outside, using a cloth which has been dampened with denatured alcohol or neutral, non-abrasive liquid detergents.

• The light on the cooker hood is designed for use during cooking and not for general room illumination. Extended use of the light reduces the average duration of the bulb.

• **Replacing halogen light bulbs (Fig. 6).

**
To replace the halogen light bulbs B, remove the glass pane C using a lever action on the relevant cracks. Replace the bulbs with new ones of the same type. Caution: do not touch the light bulb with bare hands.

• Commands: (Fig.7 A-B) mechanical the key symbols are explained below:

  • A = LIGHT
  • B = OFF
  • C = SPEED I
  • D = SPEED II
  • E = SPEED III

• THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL RESPONSIBIL-ITY FOR EVENTUAL DAMAGES CAUSED BY BREACH-ING THE ABOVE WARNINGS.
