INSTALLATION
- The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damages resulting from incorrect or improper installation.
- Please read this instruction manual before installing and using this range hood. Please keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future reference.
- This range hood can be used either in the Ducted Mode (ducting fumes to the outside) or in the Recirculation Mode (internal recycling). The choice of modes can be left to the customers.
- Only a qualified and trained service technician can undertake the work of installation and servicing.
- Check that the main voltage corresponds to the one indicated on the rating plate fixed inside the hood.
- Do not connect the hood to exhaust ducts carrying combustion fumes (boilers, fireplaces, etc.)
- If the hood is used in conjunction with non-electrical appliances (e. g. gas burning appliances), a sufficient degree of ventilation must be guaranteed in the room in order to prevent the backflow of exhaust gas. The kitchen must have an opening directly with the open air in order to guarantee the entry of clean air.
- The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking vessels on the hob and the lowest part of the range hood : when the range hood is located above a gas appliance, this distance shall be at least 75 cm, when the range hood is located above an electrical appliance, this distance shall be at least 65 cm. If the instructions for installation for the hob specify a greater distance, this has to be taken into account. The distance can be reduced for :
- non-combustible parts of range hoods, or
- parts operating at safety extra low voltage, provided these parts do not give access to live parts if deformed.
NOTICE: Two or more people are required to install or move this appliance. Failure to do so can cause physical injuries.
USE
- The range hood has been designed only for domestic use to eliminate kitchen fumes.
- Never use the hood for purposes other than what it has been designed for.
- Never leave high naked flames under the hood when it is in operation.
- Adjust the flame intensity to direct it onto the bottom of the pan only; making sure that it does not engulf the pan sides.
- Deep fat fryer must be continuously monitored during use: overheated oil can burst into flame.
- The hood should not be used by children or persons not instructed in its correct use.
MAINTENANCE
- Proper maintenance of the range hood will assure proper performance of the unit.
- Disconnect the hood from the main supply before carrying out any maintenance work.
- Clean and/or replace aluminum grease filters and activated charcoal filters after specified period of time.
- Clean the hood using a damp cloth and a neutral liquid detergent.
- DISPOSAL: Do not dispose this product as unsorted municipal waste. Collection of such waste separately for special treatment is necessary.
DIMENSIONS
DESCRIPTION / CONNECTIONS
The hood may be installed in the Ducting or the recirculation version.
FOR BOTH SINGLE AND TWIN MOTORS MODEL
Two types of exhaust air slats are supplied with the hood, A and B.
There is one slat A and one slat B supplied with single motor hoods.
There are two A slats and two B slats supplied with dual motor hoods.
Depending on the type of installation chosen, it may or may not be necessary
to change the air exhaust slat (s).
With the slat (s) A, the hood is in recycling version.
With the slat (s) B, the hood is in the exhaust version.
By default, the hood is delivered in a recycling version, that is to say with
the A slat (s) fitted.
The slat (s) B is (are) supplied in the bag of screws in case it is necessary
to install the hood in the exhaust version.
For a hood with two motors, it is essential that the slats of each motor are
of the same type for the assembly to work.
SYSTEMICALLY CHECK THAT THE MOUNTED SLAT(S) IS (ARE) CORRECT.
By default, the slat installed on each motor is slat A, intended for operation
in recycling version.
To switch to the evacuation version, first remove the metal panel of the
lighting, then replace the slat A with the slat B kept in the bag with the
spare parts. Remove the air outlet hatch and install the air outlet adapter
with the non-return valve.
Carbon filters are not necessary in the exhaust version. If they are mounted,
remove them.
Ducting version
The hood draws the cooking fumes saturated with fumes and odor, through the grease filters and expels it to the outside through an outlet pipe. With this version the charcoal filters are not required.
- Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside.
- A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to perform most efficiently.
- Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will reduce the performance of the hood. Use as few of them as possible. Larger ducting may be required for best performance with longer duct runs.
- The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels. Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be followed. Check with the local authority and building codes for exhaust ducting requirements.
- Install a roof/wall cap. Connect round metal ductwork to cap and work back towards hood location.
Recirculation version The hood draws cooking fumes saturated with fumes
and odor through the grease filters and charcoal filters and returns clean air
into the room. For constant efficiency, the charcoal filters must be replaced
periodically.
Caution: No need for plastic or rigid metal ducting.
- Install the charcoal filter.
- Please note that the air is re-circulated into the room through the front vents.
Decide from the outset on the type of installation (recirculation or ducting). For greater efficiency, we recommend you install the hood in the ducting version.
Electrical Connection
- Electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards. Turn off electrical power at service entrance before wiring.
- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
- Do not use the plug and an extension cord other than the ones initially supplied with the hood.
INSTALLATION
Before beginning installation, to better handle the hood, we advise removing
the filter. Before fixing, the outlet exhaust duct for air evacuation to the
outside must be installed
Use an outlet exhaust duct with: – minimum indispensable length; -Minimum
possible bends (maximum angle of bend: 90°); -certified material (according to
local, building & fire regulations); and as smooth as possible inside. It is
also advisable to avoid any drastic changes in duct cross-section (recommended
diameter: 125mm). Drill the hole in the kitchen unit for the air outlet (133
mm diameter)。 Proceed with fixing the hood: Based on your requirements, you
can fit the hood on the wall or on a wall unit of your kitchen. IMPORTANT:
Respect the distance between the hob and the lower part of the hood, which
must be at least 650 mm for an electric hob and 750 mm for a gas hob.
A)Fixing to the wall
- Draw a line on the wall in vertical line with your hob. Mark the 2 holes to be drilled in the wall, respecting the distances indicated; Make the 2 holes and fit the 2 screw anchors φ10X45 provided or another ones, but always adapted to the type of wall. Take 2 of the screws ST5x50 provided and insert them in the topmost screw anchors without. Connect a flexible tube to the hood outlet adapter, using a metal hose clamp. Tube and hose clamps are not provided.
- Make the electrical connection.
B) Fixing to the kitchen cupboard
-
Draw a line on the wall in vertical line with your hob. Push the hood up against the kitchen cupboard and insert the 4 screws ST4.2×30 resepcting the distances indicated and operating from inside the hood. Connect a flexible tube to the hood outlet adapter, using a metal hose clamp. Tube and hose clamps are not provided.
H=650mm for electric hob
H=750mm for gas hob
-
Make the electrical connection.
Maximum possible length for No 1 screw is 55mm, for No 3 is 35mm. Installation
is now complete.
WARNING: FAILURE TO INSTALL THE SCREWS OR FIXING DEVICE IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN ELECTRI-CAL HAZARDS.
Notice:
- Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliance burning gas or other fuels.
- If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance than 750mm, this has to be taken into account.
- The regulations concerning the discharge of exhaust air have to be followed.
OPERATION
The hood is operated using the push button on/off of the front panel. The
light switch turns the lamps on and off.
The fan switch turns the fan on to three speed settings:
MAINTENANCE
GREASE FILTER
The grease filters should be cleaned frequently (every two months of
operation, or more frequently for heavy use). Use a warm detergent solution.
The grease filters are washable, and if necessary in the dishwasher. After
several
washes, their color may change. This discoloration does not interfere with
their proper functioning and does not give rise to complaints.
CARBON FILTER
It is recommended to change the carbon filters every 3 months or even more often if used intensively.
