INSTALLATION, OPERATING, AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE
GENERAL
Exhausting cooker hood. The equipment is constructed under European Standards
and with the requirements included in the following Directives: 2006/95EC (Low
Voltage Directive), 2004/108 (Electromagnetic Compatibility).
The present instruction manual is an integral part of the appliance itself,
therefore it must be carefully kept and ALWAYS accompany it, even in case of
its assignment to another owner or user or in case the cooker hood is moved to
another installation plant.
The Manufacturer strives for continuous improvements. For this reason, the
text and illustrations in this guide may change without notice.
WARNINGS
Make sure that the voltage (V) and frequency (Hz) indicated on the data plate
inside the unit match those available at the installation site. Any eventual
adjustment to the electrical system, which may be necessary to install the
cooker hood, must be carried out only by competent people.
Any repair carried out by no competent people may cause damages.
For any repair or needed technical support refers to a Technical Assistance
Centre, authorized to carry out the replacement of the spare parts. Always
make sure that all the electrical parts (lights, exhaustion unit) are
disconnected when the appliance is not in use. By storms take off the main
switch of the house electrical system.
The use of the cooker hood must not be other than the use of exhausting units
for cooking damps in domestic kitchens.
The manufacturer does not accept any liability for damages caused by people,
animals, or things, by installation and maintenance mistakes, or by any
illegitimate use.
We remind that the use of products functioning with electrical energy implies
the observance of some essential security rules, as follows:
- This equipment is not intended for people (children included) with reduced mental or motor capacities, with a lack of experience or knowledge, unless they are supervised or unless a person responsible for their security, gives them instructions regarding the use of the equipment. Children must be supervised to be sure that they do not play with the equipment.
- Any cleaning action is forbidden if the appliance hasn’t been disconnected from the main power supply and if the main switch of the house electrical system is not off. If cleaning is not carried out according to these instructions, a fire may break out.
- Do not pull, take off, or twist the cable coming out from the appliance, even though this has been disconnected from the main power supply.
- Do not sprinkle or throw any water directly on the appliance.
- Do not stick any sharp tool inside the exhausting holes and into the air discharge.
- Do not take out the filters to reach the internal sides of the appliance in case the main switch of the house electrical system is not off.

INSTALLATION
-
Preliminary Indication
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
With the hood correctly installed, the minimum distance between the wall unit and the support surface of the cooking pans on a gas hob must be at least 50 cm. (Fig. 3.1.2).
If the installation instructions for the gas hob indicate a greater distance, this must be taken into account.
With the hood correctly installed, the minimum distance between the wall unit and the induction hob must be at least 50 cm.
The formation of condensate occurs especially when the hood is installed over an induction hob. This is normal and is not due to a product fault.
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 types of equipment.
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. -
Fixing the hood to the cabinet
To install the hood in the wall unit, the measurements in Fig. 3.2.1 must be observed.
Follow the steps indicated below:
Remove the metal filters (Fig. 6.2.1) to access the inside of the hood (Fig. 3.2.2).
Insert the hood in the wall unit, taking care to slot the back panel of the wall unit into the relevant seat (Fig. 3.2.2-A).
Secure the hood to the side of the wall unit with the screws provided, two screws per side, in line with the holes on the sides (Fig. 3.2.2-B).
Two spacers are provided (Fig. 3.2.2-C and Fig. 3.2.2-D) to compensate for the different depths in the wall unit as indicated by the positions in the drawing (Fig. 3.2.2). -
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, by 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, to prevent any risk.
USE
This cooker hood can be installed in ducted or filtering mode.
Ducted (external evacuation, Fig. 4.1). Remove any anti-odor filters if
present. Kitchen smokes are vented 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 motor
output 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 cooking fumes pass through the
Long-Life anti-odor filter (not supplied with the hood, Fig. 6.2.1) to be
purified and recycled into the kitchen. The use of anti-odor filters reduces
the performance of the hood.
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.
Control operation (Fig. 5.1):
T1: switch-on at a first speed and extractor off.
T2-T3: operation at 2nd and 3rd speed respectively.
T4: intensive speed setting (maximum extraction), the extractor operates at
this speed for 5 minutes (with button flashing) and then, it will
automatically switch to 3rd speed.
TL: light on/off and light temperature adjustment.
Light adjustment:
TL single click: on/off at the stored brightness and temperature.
TL double click when off minimum brightness (10% brightness, ambient light).
TL long press (for more than 1 second) when on brightness adjustment:
- Start from stored setting, DOWN —> UP adjustment, if not released, the maximum brightness is set
- With another long press, the UP —> DOWN adjustment goes to minimum brightness
- When the button is released, both at maximum/minimum and during adjustment, the desired intensity is stored for the next switch-on
TL+T4 when on: color temperature adjustment (same steps as brightness adjustment)
V.1 Adjustable and delayed self-switching off
With the hood operating, choose the desired speed, then press and hold the
T2+T3 button for a few seconds until all the LEDs start to flash (T1, T2, T3,
T4). By pressing one of the buttons (T1, T2, T3, T4), you can program the
self-switch-off time, as follows: T1 for 5 minutes; T2 for 10 minutes; T3 for
15 minutes; T4 for 20 minutes.
It is possible to change the set speed, including the intensive speed, during
operation with self-switch-off. If the switch-off time chosen is the same as
the set speed, the speed LED flashes; if a different time is chosen, the speed
LED remains fixed. The hood must be switched off to disable the self-switch-
off.
V.2 Maintenance reminder
Metal anti-grease filters
Once the hood is switched off, after 30-hour functioning, all the LEDs of the
speed buttons switch on with a fixed light for 30 seconds to remind us that
the anti-grease metal filter needs cleaning. To set the timer to zero keep the
button T4 (Fig. 5.1) pressed with the aspirator switched off, otherwise the
timer will remain set on 30-hour functioning and the reminder will appear when
the hood is switched off again.
Long-Life anti-odor filter (for ductless hoods)
Every 120 hours of hood operation, when the hood is switched off, all the
LEDs of the speed buttons turn on with a flashing light for 30 sec. as a
reminder of the regeneration of the Long-Life filter and the cleaning of the
metal anti-grease filters. To reset the timer, simply hold down the T4 key
(Fig. 5.1) with the blower off, otherwise, the device will give the alarm
again the next time the hood is switched off.
24h Comfort function
Press and hold the T1 button for at least 3 sec. The extractor will start
operating for 5 minutes every 25 minutes, at the first speed, for a maximum of
24h. During extraction, the button flashes every 1 sec.; it will flash every 5
sec. in the interval (25 min.). The function can be disabled at any time by
pressing the T1 button.
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 metal grease filter, which has the
function of retaining the fat particles contained in the vapors. The grease
filter must be washed when the warning appears or at least once a month, use
hot water and detergent (or put it in the dishwasher). The filter may become
discolored after a few washes. This is normal
and does not mean that it needs to be replaced.
To carry out maintenance on the grease filter, it is essential to remove it
from the hood. With the hood turned off, the condensation collection tray must
be opened and the filter removed by its handle (Fig. 6.1.1). At this point,
you can proceed with the filter cleaning. It is recommended to reinsert the
grease filter only when it is perfectly dry.
ATTENTION: the grease collected in the filters can easily catch fire and it is therefore extremely important to clean the metallic filters regularly as per instructions
VI.2 Long-Life anti-odor filter (for filtering hoods)
The Long-Life anti-odor filter, where present, captures all the odors present
in the cooking fumes, guaranteeing pure air in your kitchen. It does not have
to be replaced frequently like an ordinary activated charcoal filter, it can
be regenerated every 3-4 months, or according to the frequency of use of the
hood, by a normal washing cycle in the
dishwasher at about 70°C without any type of detergent, followed by drying in
the oven for 30 minutes at 70°C. To keep its efficiency high, it is
recommended to replace the Long-Life filter after 6/8 regeneration cycles.
To replace the Long-Life anti-odor filter simply remove the metal grease
filter (Fig. 6.1.1) and slide the frame enclosing the anti-odor filter towards
the rear (Fig. 6.2.1). Take the frame including the Long Life anti-odor filter
and regenerate it (Fig. 6.2.1-A). The filter must be requested from the
manufacturer. To install a new Long-Life anti-odor filter, remove the metal
grease filter (fig. 6.1.1), place the new Long-Life anti-odor filter on top,
and slide it to hook it to the metal filter. Reinstall the metal grease
filter.
VI.3 Hood Cleaning
The hood must be cleaned immediately after installation and removal of the
protective film 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
parts of the hood. Clean the hood with a sponge moistened with hot water and a
small quantity of neutral soap (for example dish soap) to eliminate any grease
particles that may have been deposited.
Rinse with a damp cloth, and carefully remove 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. Both the brightness and temperature of the hood’s LED
lighting are to be adjusted (see the OPERATION section).
DISCONTINUATION
The discontinuation means the definitive shutdown and disassembly of the
appliance.
After discontinuation, the appliance can be installed on another piece of
furniture, privately resold, or disposed of.
Caution! For discontinuation, it is necessary to switch the appliance off
and disconnect the power Disassembly requires that the device is accessible
and has been disconnected from the power supply.
To do this, follow the installation instructions in reverse order.
