INSTALLATION

III.1 Preliminary Indications

Carefully read the guide before installation and use of the appliances.
The installation requires safety equipment and a range of tools as per Fig. 3.1.1

The minimum distance between the supporting surface of the cooking hob and the lowest part of the range hood must be not less than 65cm (Fig. 3.1.2).
If the mounting instructions of the gas hob indicate a wider distance, respect it.
It must not be superimposed on stoves with an upper radiating plate.
Respect all the air discharge regulations.
The air must not be discharged in a pipe used to discharge exhaust fumes produced by gas-fed equipment or fuel-fed equipment.
The room must be adequately ventilated when the hoods are used together with other gas or fuel equipment.
The hood placed above an induction hob can cause condensation, this is a normal phenomenon and not due to malfunctioning of the product.
The hood is equipped with all the necessary fastenings for its installation, which are suitable for most surfaces. Verify that the installation surface is strong.
Installation must be carried out by qualified installers according to present regulations.

III.2 Fixing the hood to the wall unit

This type of hood must be installed inside a wall unit and can be mounted on cabinets of different depths (Fig. 3.2.1).
A spacer is supplied with the hood (Fig. 3.2.2) to be applied on the back of the hood. This spacer allows you to install the hood in a more advanced position. The side of the spacer without fixing holes can be cut to size with a utility knife (Fig. 3.2.2-B), so keep this in mind when drilling the fixing holes.
The spacer must be fixed with the 3 screws supplied (Fig. 3.2.2-A).
Mark and drill the wall unit as in Fig. 3.2.1. Fix the hood using the 4 screws supplied (Fig. 3.2.1-A)
The front of the drawer can always be aligned with the cabinet, by adjusting the rear of the drawer appropriately. To adjust, loosen the screws (Fig. 3.2.3), slide the alignment slides (Fig. 3.2.3-A), and retighten the screws.

III.3 Electrical Connection
The electrical connection must be carried out ONLY by qualified technicians.
The electrical protection of the electrical connection upstream of the equipment must comply with the regulations in force.

Caution! Make sure that the voltage (V) and frequency (Hz) indicated on the serial number plate located on the appliances correspond to those available at the installation site.
Any change to the electrical installation necessary to install the hood should only be undertaken by qualified staff. After installation, insulated parts and those carrying electricity must be protected from any possible contact.

| Caution! If the electrical connection is carried out incorrectly or does not meet the regulations, it may damage part of the appliance and the warranty will not be valid.
---|---
| Warning! Before making the electrical connection, turn the main switch of the domestic system to “off”.

These appliances must be earthed.
Two types of connections to the network are possible:

Using a standard plug connected (Fig. 3.3.1) to the power cord and inserted into an accessible socket outlet (to be disconnected during service operations). Make sure that the plug is accessible even after the complete installation of the appliance.
Stable connection to the network by interposing a bipolar switch to ensure disconnection from the network, with a contact opening distance allowing complete disconnection under the conditions of the overvoltage category III, in accordance with the installation rules (Fig. 3.3.2.).

Earth connection (yellow-green wire) should not be interrupted.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its authorized service center or by a qualified technician, in order to prevent any risk.

USE
This cooker hood can be employed as exhausting or filtering.

Exhausting (external evacuation, Fig. 4.1). Remove any activated carbon filters if present. Kitchen smokes are driven outside through a flue (not provided with the hood) joined to the exhaust pipe flue connector.
This pipe must not under any circumstances be connected to the cooker, boiler, burner exhaust pipes, etc.
Install this flue after completing what is described in the INSTALLATION.
The use of pipes and holes on the wall with a smaller diameter than the output of the motor will cause a decrease in suction performance and an increase in the noise level.
Use as short as possible tubes and with few curves.
Use pipes with smooth internal surfaces.
Filtering (inside recycling, Fig. 4.2). The fumes pass through activated carbon filters (not supplied with the hood, Fig. 4.2-A) to be purified and recycled into the kitchen.

OPERATION

The hood is supplied with a multispeed motor.
The hood should be run at low speed under normal conditions and at higher speeds only when there is a heavy buildup of fumes or odors. Ideally, the hood should be switched on as soon as cooking is started and then kept on until all odors have been eliminated. The controls (Fig. 5.1) consist of these commands. Press TL to turn on the light, press T1 to switch on the hood at a first speed, and to switch off the aspirator, press T2 and T3 to select functioning speeds.
By pressing the command T1 the motor starts running at the 1st speed. The commands T2 and T3 switch the motor on respectively at the 2 and 3 speeds. In order to switch the motor off press T1 once if set at the 1 speed, and twice if set at the 2 and 3 speeds.

V.1 Adjustable and delayed self-switching off

While the hood is working, keep the TL command pressed until all LEDs start blinking.
By pressing one of the commands (T1, T2, T3) you can program the delayed self- switching off, as follows: T1 corresponds to 5 minutes; T2 corresponds to 10 minutes, and T3 corresponds to 15 minutes.
While the self-switching off is in function, it is possible to modify the speed previously set. If the choice of the switch-off time corresponds to the set speed, the speed LED flashes, if the choice is different the speed LED remains fixed.
V.2 Filters maintenance reminder

Metal anti-grease filters
Once the hood is switched off, after 30-hour of functioning, all the LEDs of the speed buttons switch on with a fixed light for 30 seconds to remind us that the metal anti- grease filter needs cleaning. To set the timer to zero keep the button T3 pressed with the aspirator switched off, otherwise, the timer will remain set on 30-hour functioning and the reminder will occur again when the hood is switched off again.
Charcoal filter (for filtering hoods)
Once the hood is switched off, after 120 hours of functioning, all LEDs blink for 30 seconds to remind us that the charcoal filter needs cleaning.
To set the timer to zero keep the button T3 pressed with the aspirator switched off, otherwise the timer will remain set on 120-hour functioning and the reminder will occur again when the hood is switched off again.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Warning! Before any maintenance or cleaning operation, disconnect the hood from the power supply by setting the main switch of the domestic system to “off”.

VI.1 Metal grease filter
Particular attention should be paid to the metallic anti-grease filters that are designed to trap particles of fat contained in the fumes. The metallic anti-grease filters must be washed at least once a month or, if present in this model, when indicated by the electronic notice, with detergent in hot water (or in the dishwasher). The filters may discolor after a few washes. This is normal and does not mean they have to be replaced. To remove the metal grease filters, use the handle on the filter itself (Fig. 6.1.1-B). It is recommended to refit the metal grease filters only if perfectly dry.

ATTENTION: the grease collected in the filters can easily catch fire and it is therefore extremely important to clean the metallic filters on a regular basis as per instructions

VI.2 Activated carbon filter (for filtering hoods)

The activated carbon filters, if present, have the function of retaining the odors present in the cooking fumes.
The air is introduced into the purified environment. The activated carbon filters must not be washed and must be replaced 3 or 4 times a year in accordance with the use of the hood. Request the filters from the manufacturer.
To install the activated carbon filters, the metal grease filters must first be removed (Fig. 6.1.1-B).
At this point, without the use of tools, install the activated carbon filters by hooking them to the interlocking tabs on the sides of the motor. Then fix them by rotating them about 90 ° with respect to their insertion position in the tabs (Fig. 6.1.1-A). To replace the activated carbon filters, reverse the operations.

VI.3 Hood Cleaning

Immediately after installation, remove the protective film in order to eliminate any residual adhesive or other impurities.
The hood must be cleaned frequently both internally and externally (at least once a month). Do not allow dirt to accumulate on the surfaces of the hood.
Do not use acid or basic products or abrasive sponges to clean the external body of the hood. Clean the hood with a sponge moistened with hot water and a modest quantity of neutral soap (for example dish soap) in order to eliminate any grease particles that may have been deposited.
Rinse with a damp cloth, carefully removing all the soap, following the direction of the satin finish of the steel surface.
Drying is particularly important, especially in areas where the water is very hard and leaves limescale deposits.

VI.4 Lighting

The hood is equipped with LED lighting which, in addition to offering excellent lighting and limited energy consumption, guarantees a considerable duration over time. In case of replacement, contact the assistance service.
