- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
- Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
General Safety
- There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the range hood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that only discharge the air back into the room).
- Do not flambé food under the range hood.
- CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when used with cooking appliances.
Installation
- The installation instructions are defined on the images at the beginning of this user manual.
- First, remove the protective foil from the back of the appliance and, following installation, remove the foil completely.
- The electrical installation is to be set up so that the appliance can be isolated from the mains with a minimum 3mm all-pole contact separation. Suitable separation devices include e.g. cutouts,RCD’s and contactors. This installation must comply with current regulations.
- If the electrical connection is done through a plug and this remains accessible after installation, then it is not necessary to provide the mentioned separation device.
- The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that only discharge the air back into the room).
- The lower part of the extractor must be located at a minimum height of 50 cm above the hob for electric cookers and 65 cm for gas cookers. If the instructions of a gas cooker indicate a greater distance these must be observed.
- Before installing the extractor consult the local rules and regulations in force with respect to the discharge of air and fumes.
- When the extractor is working at the same time as other non-electrical cooking equipment, the outlet air pressure must not exceed 4 Pa (4×10-5 bar).
- Before connecting the extractor to the mains, check that both the voltage and the frequency conform to that shown on the characteristics label located inside the extractor.
- To achieve optimum performance the length of the outlet hose should not exceed 4 meters or include more than two 90° angles (elbows).
- Although venting to the outside is recommended, activated carbon filter may be used to allow the gas to be returned to the kitchen through the outlet pipe.
Cleaning
- There is a fire risk if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions.
- Do not allow grease to accumulate in any part of the extractor, especially in the grease filters as this COULD PRODUCE A FIRE RISK!
- The grease filters and the internal part of the extractor must be cleaned at least once a month depending on how often the extractor is used. Note that grease is deposited in the extractor when cooking, whether it is switched on or not.
- We recommend the use of gloves and caution when cleaning the inside of the extractor.
Repairs
- 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.
- Do not switch on the extractor if the supply cord is worn or has cuts or if there are signs of deterioration around the control panel.

Instructions for use
By pressing the button shown in the figure, you will be able to control the
functions of the extractor.
To achieve better extraction, we recommend switching on the extractor a few
minutes before starting to cook (3 – 5 minutes) so that the air flow is
continuous and stable when extracting the fumes.
Likewise, keep the extractor switched on for a few minutes when cooking is
complete to allow all fumes and odors to be expelled.
- Timer
- Reduce fan speed
- Display
- Increase fan speed
- Light
Program the working time
- Switch on the cooker hood and choose the required aspiration speed.
- Push ‘Timer’.
- Select the required programming time from 1 to 99 minutes by using the buttons ‘+’ and
- The display will alternately show the clock and the remaining programming time.
The maximum speed ‘H’ can only be selected manually and will be changed automatically to the second speed level after 7 minutes.
Filter saturation indicator “F”
- When the sign ‘Saturation of the filters’ is on, the filters should be cleaned.
- After cleaning the filters, simultaneously push “+” and “” for at least 3 seconds whereupon the sign will be switched off.
Cleaning and maintenance
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance activities, ensure that the
extractor is disconnected from the mains.
To carry out cleaning and maintenance, follow the Safety Instructions.
Fire risk exists in case that cleaning does not take place according to the
instructions.
Filter cleaning
To withdraw the filters from their locations release the anchoring points.
Clean the filter,either by putting it in the dishwasher (see notes) or leaving
it standing in hot water to simplify the removal of grease or, if wished, by
means of special sprays (protecting the non-metallic parts). Once clean, leave
it to dry.
To replace the filters, proceed in the reverse way to their removal. Make sure
that the filter latch is securely attached to the housing to prevent untimely
drops of the filters.
Notes: cleaning in the dishwasher with aggressive detergents may blacken
the surface of metallic parts, without this affecting its gas retaining
properties.
N.B. The filter must be cleaned at least once a month depending on how often
the extractor is used. It must be remembered that grease is deposited in the
extractor when cooking,whether it is switched on or not.
Cleaning of the extractor body
The use of warm (40°C approx.) soapy water is recommended. A cloth moistened
in this water is used for cleaning the extractor, paying special attention to
the grids. Afterwards, dry it using a lint-free cloth.
Note:
- Never use metallic scouring pads or abrasive products that could damage the surface.
- Do not use scrapers with metallic surfaces such as knives, scissors etc.
Activated charcoal filter (Fig. 4)
- To install the charcoal filter, the motor anchorage is made to coincide with the anchor points of the activated charcoal filter and turn it clockwise.
- The carbon filter lasts from three to six months depending on the particular conditions of use.
- The activated carbon filter can neither be washed nor regenerated. Once it is exhausted, it must be changed.
- To replace exhausted filters with new ones, withdraw the old one in the reverse order to that of installation.
- A reduction in the extraction flow rate may be observed in the hood with the installation of carbon filters.

Saving Energy
This appliance is energy-efficient but there are some tips on how to save even more energy:
- During cooking, ensure that there is a sufficient supply of air to enable the extractor hood to work efficiently and with a low level of operating noise.
- Adjust the fan speed to the amount of of steam produced during cooking. Only use intensive mode when required. The lower the fan speed, the less energy is consumed.
- If cooking produces large amounts of steam, select the higher fan speed in good time. If the cooking steam has already spread around the kitchen, the extractor hood will need to be operated for longer thus consuming more energy.
- Switch off the extractor hood if you no longer require it.
- Switch off the lighting if you no longer require it.
- Switch off the lighting if you no longer require it.
- Clean and (if required) replace the filter at regular intervals to increase the effectiveness of the ventilation system and to prevent the risk of fire.
- Put the lid on pans to reduce cooking steam and condensation.
Disposal of the packaging
The packaging bears the Green Point mark.
Dispose of all the packaging materials such as cardboard, expanded polystyrene
and plastic wrapping in the appropriate bins. In this way you can be sure that
the packaging materials will be re-used.
Dismantling the equipment:
- Disconnect the mains power.
- Remove the duct cover above the hood.
- Disconnect the duct.
- Supporting the equipment, remove the srews that fix it to the wall.
- For waste disposal, proceed according to the appropriate environmental protection guidelines.
Disposal of equipment no longer used
According to European Directive 2012/19/EU on the management of waste
electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), home electrical appliances should
not be put into the normal systems for disposal of solid urban waste.
Outdated appliances should be collected separately to optimize component
material recovery and re-cycling rates and to prevent potential harm to human
health and the environment. The symbol of a rubbish container superimposed by
