USE
This hood has been designed to work exclusively in filtering mode. The
aspirated fumes pass through the Plasma filter and are re-introduced into the
kitchen without odors (Fig. 3). 
INSTALLATION
Read the instruction manual before installing and/or using the hood.
In order that the minimum distance between the support surface of the cooking
vessels in a gas hob and the low voltage components present in the hood is at
least 65cm. as required by current legislation, the lower part of the hood
should be no less than 50cm away from these supports. If the installation
instructions for the gas hob indicate a greater distance, it must be taken
into account. (Fig. 4). 
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 equipments or fuel-fed equipments (this does
not apply to filtering hoods). The room must be adequately ventilated when the
hoods is 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. For an easy access, it is advisable to
move possible furniture under the installation area.
Installation of the hood on the wall. After tracing and drilling the wall as
in Fig.4, use the fastenings necessary for installation
- Locking anchors (A)
- Suspension and leveling anchors (B)
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.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This equipment must be connected to a grounding plant. Two types of electrical connection can be used:
- Using a standard plug to be connected to the power cable and inserted in a mains socket which must be accessible (so that the plug can be disconnected when servicing is carried out). Make sure that the plug is accessible also after the complete installation of the equipment.
- By means of a fixed mains connection, fitting a bipolar switch, which ensures the disconnection, with an opening distance of the contacts allowing a complete disconnection on the conditions of the overvoltage III category, according to installation regulations. The ground connection (yellow-green wire) must not be interrupted.
Refer to the plate inside the hood for the mains voltage and frequency ratings. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or by its service agent or a qualified person in order to avoid any risk.
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 build-up of fumes or odours. Ideally, the hood should be switched on as soon as cooking is started and then kept on until all odours have been eliminated. For the identification of the bottons, refer to Fig. 5 at the end of this manual.
- TL: illumination on and off.
- T1: switching on the hood, selection of the first speed, aspirator shutdown
- T2: selection of the second speed of the aspirator
- T3: selection of the third speed of the aspirator
- T4: selection of the Booster (maximum suction), the aspirator remains for 5 minutes at this speed (with flashing button) and then it will automatically switch to the third speed.
- T5: activation and deactivation of the 24h Comfort function
24h Comfort
Pressing T5 selects the 24h Confort function which remains active for a
maximum of 24 hours. The aspirator switches on at the first speed for 5
minutes, then switches off automatically and repeats the function cyclically
every 25 minutes. During the suction phase the botton flashes, otherwise it
remains fixed. The function can be deactivated at any time by pressing T5.
Adjustable and delayed self-switching off
With the hood in operation select the desired speed, then keep pressed until
it flashes the speed button that corresponds to the auto-off minutes you want
to set keeping in mind that:
- T1 equal to 5 minutes
- T2 equal to 10 minutes
- T3 equal to 15 minutes
During the switch-off time, the set speed can be changed. If the maximum speed is chosen, after 5 min, it automatically switches to 3rd speed and the auto switch-off will be at this speed.
Maintenance warning for grease filters
Every 30 hours of hood operation, when the hood is switched off, all the LEDs
on the keys light up with a fixed light for 30 seconds to alert the necessary
cleaning of the aluminum grease filters. To reset the timer, simply hold down
the T1 button with the aspirator off, otherwise the device will give the alarm
again the next time the hood is turned off.
MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect the hood from the mains before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning operation. 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 dish-washer). The filters may discolour after a few washes, this is normal and does not mean they have to be replaced. To remove the grease filters, open the two central glasses of the hood and then remove the filters using the special handle (Fig. 6). To reinstall the filters, reverse the operations. It is advisable to refit the grease filters only once they are 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.
The Plasma anti-odor filter does not require any particular maintenance and
its duration is about 10 years while maintaining its efficiency in eliminating
the virus odors bacteria in the air.
The correct operation of the Plasma filter is indicated by the lighting up of
the green light inside the cooker hood (Fig. 7). The filter starts
automatically when the air passes. If the light turns off with the aspirator
running, this would mean a malfunction of the filter. The hood features a LED
light that, in addition to offering a good lighting and a significant energy
savings, are guaranteed to last on average 10 times more than traditional
lights. For replacement, contact the Assistance Service. In order to remove
the remaining glue or any impurity, the cooker hood must be cleaned
immediately after installation and after having removed the protective film.
The cooker hood must be cleaned frequently both internally and externally (at
least once a month). Do not let dirt gather on the inner and outer surfaces of
the hood. To clean the exterior of the hood do not use either acid or basic
products, or abrasive sponges. Clean the hood with a sponge dampen in warm
water and a little quantity of neutral detergent (for example dishwasher
detergent), in order to remove possible particles of grease. Rinse with a damp
cloth, removing all the detergent carefully, following the satin finish
direction on the steel surface. Drying is very important, especially in areas
where water is particularly hard and leaves limestone. All the ordinary and
extraordinary maintenance can be performed without having to remove the hood.
