WARNING:

• When the hob is on, the accessible parts of the product may become hot.
• Do not connect the product to the electrical power supply until the installation is complete.
• The regulations laid down by local authorities must be strictly followed concerning the technical and safety measures to adopt for fume extraction.
• The extracted air must not be conveyed through the same ducts used to extract the fumes generated by gas combustion or other types of combustion products.
• Do not use or leave the product without appropriately installed lamps, as this may result in the risk of electric shock.
• The product must NEVER be used without the grille correctly fitted.
• The product must NEVER be used as a support surface unless expressly indicated.
• Range hoods and other cooking fume extractors may adversely affect the safe operation of appliances burning gas or other fuels (including those in other rooms) due to the backflow of combustion gases. These gases can potentially result in carbon monoxide poisoning. After installation of a range hood or other cooking fume extractor, the operation of flued gas appliances should be tested by a competent person to ensure that backflow of combustion gases does not occur.
• Use only the fastening screws supplied with the product for its installation, or if not supplied, purchase the correct type of screws. Use screws of the right length, as indicated in the installation guide.

Please note! Failure to install screws and fasteners under these instructions may result in electrical hazards.

• To replace the lamp, only use the lamp indicated in the maintenance/lighting system section of this manual.

• Using a naked flame may damage the filters and cause a fire hazard, and must therefore be avoided under all circumstances.

• Extra care must be taken when frying to prevent the oil from overheating and catching fire.

• In case of doubt, contact the authorised service centre or similar qualified personnel.
  Please note! Do not use a programmer, timer, separate remote control or any other device that activates automatically.

• The minimum distance between the container support surface on the cooker and the lower part of the hood must be at least equal to 60 cm (not less than 75 cm only for Australia and New Zealand) in the case of electric cookers and 75 cm in case of gas or mixed cookers. If the installation instructions of the gas cooker specify a greater distance, take it into account. Keep children under the age of 3 away from the appliance. Without the constant supervision of an adult, keep the appliance out of the reach of children under the age of 8.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The mains voltage must correspond to the voltage indicated on the rating plate located inside the hood. If equipped with a plug, connect the hood to a wall socket that complies with current standards located in an area that can be accessed even after installation. If it does not feature a plug (direct connection to the mains) or the plug is not located in an accessible area, even after installation, apply a standard double pole switch that ensures complete disconnection from the mains in category III overvoltage conditions, by the installation rules.

Please note! Before reconnecting the circuit to the mains power supply, make sure that it is working correctly, always check that the power cable is correctly installed. Do not use extension cords, power strips or adapters.

Mains voltage and frequency
Refer to the value indicated on the rating plate inside the hood.

Wire connection

• yellow/green
• N: Blue
• L: brown

Replacing the power cable
The hood features a special power cable; if the cable is damaged, contact the Service Centre for a replacement.

AIR OUTLET

(for suction versions)
Connect the hood to wall-mounted exhaust pipes and holes with a diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connecting flange). The use of pipes and outlet holes in the wall with a smaller diameter will reduce the extraction performance and drastically increase the noise level.
All responsibility in this regard is therefore denied.

• Use a ducting pipe with the shortest length necessary.
• Use a ducting pipe with the least number of bends possible (maximum bend angle: 90°).
• Avoid drastic changes in the ducting pipe diameter.
• The company shall not be held responsible if these regulations are not complied with.

FILTRATION OR SUCTION?

• Your hood is ready to be used in the suction version.

• To use the hood in the filtration version, the special ACCESSORY KIT must be installed.

• Check, on the first pages of this manual, whether the ACCESSORY KIT is already supplied or needs to be purchased separately.
  Note: If supplied, in some cases, the additional activated carbon filtering system may already be installed on the hood.

• Information on how to convert the hood from the suction version to the filtration version is already contained in this manual.

• Extraction version

• Vapours are evacuated outside through an exhaust pipe attached to the connecting flange.

ATTENTION

• The evacuation pipe is not supplied and must be purchased.
• The diameter of the exhaust pipe must be equivalent to the diameter of the connecting ring.
• If the hood features one or more carbon filters, they must be removed.

Filtration version
The suctioned air will be degreased and deodorised before it is sent back into the room. To use the hood in this version, it is necessary to install an additional activated carbon filter system.

CONTROLS

The hood is equipped with a control panel with a suction speed control and a light control to light up the hob.

• T1. Light ON/OFF
• T2. Motor OFF(a), Minimum (b), medium (c), maximum (d) suction power

MAINTENANCE

• Cleaning: For cleaning, simply use a cloth moistened with neutral liquid detergents. Do not use cleaning tools or instruments.
• Anti-Grease Filter: It must be cleaned once a month (or when the filter saturation indication system – if any – indicates the need for it), with non-aggressive detergents, either by hand or in a dishwasher at a low temperature and on a short cycle. When cleaned in the dishwasher, the metal grease filter may discolour, but its filtering characteristics remain unchanged.
• The Anti-Grease Filter traps the grease particles produced during cooking. When cleaned in the dishwasher, the metal grease filter may discolour, but its filtering characteristics remain unchanged.

Carbon filter (for filter version only): The cartridge must be replaced at least every four months. It CANNOT be washed or regenerated. As indicated in the drawings section: remove the antigrease filters, fit a carbon filter on the motor and attach it to the product. Put the anti-grease filters back in place.

Illumination

• Lamp Replacement: Disconnect the product from the electrical power supply. Please note! Before touching the lamps, make sure they have cooled. For the type of lamp to use, see the indications in the drawings section.
