Use

• The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting or filter version. The models with no suction motor only operate in ducting mode, and must be connected to an external
• suction device (not supplied).
• The connecting instructions are supplied with the peripheral suction unit.

Ducting version

• In this case the fumes are conveyed outside of the building by means of a special pipe connected with the connection ring located on top of the hood. Attention! The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be purchased apart.

• Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the connection ring. In the horizontal runs the exhausting pipe must be slightly slanted (about 10°) and directed upwards to vent the air easily from the room to the outside. Attention! If the hood is supplied with active charcoal filter, then it must be removed.

• Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connection flange).

• Using the tubes and discharge holes on walls with smaller dimensions will cause a diminution of the suction performance and a drastic increase in noise.

• Any responsibility in the matter is therefore declined.

  • Use a duct of the minimum indispensable length.
  • Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow angle: 90°).
  • Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.
  • Use a duct with an as smooth as possible inside.
  • The duct must be made of certified material.

• Filter version
  Active charcoal filter is needed for this and can be obtained from your usual retailer. The filter removes the grease and smells from the extracted air before sending it back into the room through the upper outlet grid.

• Warnings
  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 55cm 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.

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. Warning! Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains supply and checking the efficient function, always check that the mains cable is correctly assembled.
• The hood is provided with a special power cable; if the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Mounting
• Expansion wall plugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of walls/ceilings. However, a qualified technician must verify suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of wall/ceiling. The wall/ceiling must be strong enough to take the weight of the hood. Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. Surface mounting only.

Grease filter

• Traps cooking grease particles. This must be cleaned once a month using non aggresive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle. When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolour slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.

• To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle.

• Charcoal filter (filter version only)

• It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking. The saturation of the charcoal filter occurs after more or less prolonged use, depending on the type of cooking and the regularity of  cleaning of the grease filter. In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least every four mounths. The charcoal filter may NOT be washed or regenerated.
