When installing the device, follow the instructions given in this manual.

The manufacturer shall not be liable for damage resulting from installation not complying with the information contained in the manual. The hood was designed exclusively for domestic use. The hood may vary in appearance from the hood shown in the drawings in this manual, but the recommendations for operation, maintenance and installation remain unchanged.

• Keep the user manual so that you can refer to it at any time. In the case of selling the device or moving, ensure that the manual is included.

Warning

• Attention! Do not connect the device to the mains before installation is complete.
• Before performing any cleaning or maintenance operations, disconnect the hood from the power by removing the plug from the socket or by switching off the main power switch.
• Wear protective gloves for all installation and maintenance work. This device is not intended for use by persons (including children) with limited physical, sensory or mental abilities, and lacking knowledge or experience in the use of such equipment unless they are supervised or instructed in the use of this device by a responsible person for their safety.

Never use a hood without properly installed filters!

• The hood should NEVER be used as a backrest plane unless this option has been indicated. The room in which the hood is used together with other devices burning gas or other fuel should have adequate ventilation. The air drawn in should not be discharged into a duct used for the discharge of flue gases produced by gas devices or other fuels. It is strictly prohibited to prepare food using an open flame under the hood (flambéing).
• The use of open flames is hazardous to the filters and poses a risk of fire, so this must not be done under any circumstances. Care should be taken during frying to avoid overheating of the oil and subsequent self-ignition. Accessible parts can become very hot if used together with appliances designed for cooking. As far as the necessary technical and security measures regarding the regulations issued by the competent local authorities must be strictly observed.
• The hood should be cleaned frequently, both inside and out (AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH), observing the maintenance instructions given in this manual).
• Failure to comply with the rules for cleaning the hood and replacing and cleaning the filters causes a fire hazard.
• To avoid electric shock, do not use or leave the hood without properly installed bulbs. The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damages or fires caused by the device resulting from non-compliance with the instructions given in this manual.
• This device is marked by EU Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).
• By ensuring that your device is disposed of correctly, you will contribute to reducing the risk of the product hurting the environment and human health, which could occur if the device is disposed of incorrectly.

The symbol on the device or packaging indicates that this product cannot be treated as other municipal waste. Return it to the appropriate collection and recycling centre for electrical and electronic equipment. Proper disposal and scrapping help to eliminate the adverse effects of scrapped equipment on the environment and health. For details on how this appliance can be recycled, please contact your local town hall, town cleaning service or the shop where you purchased the product.

Operation

The device can be used as an extractor (vapour extraction to the outside) or an absorber (vapours are filtered and discharged back into the room). Hood models that do not have an extractor fan, function only as an extractor and must be connected to the extraction device (not included). Connection instructions are supplied with the external extractor unit. When the air in the kitchen area is particularly polluted, use the hood set at the highest speed. It is recommended that the hood is put into operation 5 minutes before cooking any food and leaving it on for about 15 minutes after the end of cooking.

Hood operating as an extractor

• Vapours are discharged to the outside through a discharge pipe attached to the connecting flange.
• The diameter of the discharge pipe must be equal to the diameter of the connecting flange.
• Attention! The discharge pipe is not supplied with the unit and must be purchased.
• In the horizontal part, the pipe must have a slight upward inclination (about 10°) so as to facilitate the flow of air to the outside. If the hood is fitted with carbon filters, these must be removed.
• Connect the hood to the ventilation duct with a discharge pipe of a diameter corresponding to the size of the hood outlet (connecting flange).
• The use of smaller cross-section hoses results in a reduction in suction capacity and a drastic increase in the noise level of the hood.
• The manufacturer therefore bears no responsibility for this condition.
• Use the shortest possible pipe.
• Use a pipe with as few bends as possible (maximum bend angle: 90°).
• Avoid radical changes to the cross-section of the pipe.
• Use a pipe with the smoothest possible inner surface.
• The pipe material must comply with the applicable standards.

Hood operates as an absorber

• A charcoal filter must be installed to use the hood in this version. It can be purchased from the seller.
• The air drawn in is cleaned of grease and odours before it is returned to the room through the grilles in the upper chimney cover.

Hood installation

• The minimum distance between the surface on which vessels are placed on the heating device and the lowest part of the cooker hood shall be not less than 45 cm in the case of electric cookers and not less than 65 cm for gas or mixed-type cookers.
• If a greater distance is specified in the instructions for installing the gas cooker, adjust to such indications.

Electrical connection

• The mains voltage must correspond to the voltage indicated on the plate on the internal part of the hood.
• If the hood is equipped with a plug, it must be plugged into a compliant outlet under applicable standards and placed in an easily accessible place, even after the completion of the installation.
• If the hood is not equipped with a plug (direct connection to the mains) or the plug is not located in an easily accessible place, even after the installation has been completed, use a standardised two-pole switch to allow complete isolation from the mains supply under category III overcurrent conditions, per the installation rules.
• Attention! Before reconnecting the hood circuit to the power supply and checking for the correctness of its operation, you should always make sure that the power cord is correctly installed.
• The hood is equipped with a special power cable.
• If this cable is damaged, it must be ordered from the Department office.

Maintenance

• Attention! Before performing any cleaning or maintenance operations, disconnect the hood from the power supply by removing the plug from the socket or turning off the main power supply.

Cleaning the hood

• The hood should be cleaned frequently inside as well as outside (at least with the same frequency, with which the grease filters are cleaned) using a cloth moistened with mild agents. Abrasives should not be used.

DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!

• Note: Failure to comply with the regulations for cleaning the device and changing filters causes a fire hazard. It is therefore advisable to follow the advice given. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for possible engine damage or fires resulting from noncompliance with the maintenance rules and the aforementioned instructions.

Grease filter

• Retains fat particles from cooking. It must be cleaned at least once a month (or when the filter contamination indicator – if Your model hood has an indicator – it tells you when it needs to be replaced), using a nonaggressive cleaning agent, either manually or in the dishwasher at low temperature and on a short washing cycle.
• When washing in the dishwasher, the metal grease filter may discolour, but it will not change its characteristic filtering features.
• To remove the grease filter, pull the spring-loaded handle.

Long-life filter

• The filter should be cleaned regularly. This procedure is recommended every two months.
• It involves washing the filter in hot water with detergent or in the dishwasher (full programme 65 C).
• After washing, DO NOT squeeze water out of the filter – this may result in damage to the filter.
• To dry and reactivate the filter, place it in the oven set at 70 C for 15-20 minutes.
• The filter should be replaced once every 2 years or when mechanical damage is visible.
• Long-life filter (*) (can be purchased from your dealer).
• The use of such a filter depends on the model.
