OPERATION
This appliance has been designed to work as a DUCTING hood (evacuation of the air) or RECYCLING hood (recycling of the filtered air).

• DUCTED MODE: In order to use the hood in the ducted mode, connect the motor intake, by means of a suitable ducting hose not less than 120mm diameter, directly to the external fumes outlet.
  Note: Remove any carbon filters.

• RECIRCULATION MODE: If it is not possible to discharge fumes outside, the hood can be used to filter and recycle the air. This way, air and fumes are filtered by the anti-odour carbon filters and recirculated through the aerating grids on the sides of chimney.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING

•  Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
• Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance.
• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, USE ONLY METAL DUCTWORK
• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

1.  ever leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
2.  lways turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).
3.  lean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
4. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

• You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
• The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
• The fire department is being called.
• You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

The hood is supplied with all the necessary accessories for installation. The minimum distance between the cooker and the lower part of the hood must be 750 mm for gas cookers and 650 mm for electric cookers (Fig.1). The hood is supplied with a motor intake (Fig 2). If it has not been assembled by the manufacturer, you can assemble it using the supplied screws (for type 1) or pushing (for type 2) If the motor intake is equipped with a non-return valve, make sure it opens and closes perfectly.

The following instructions will assist installation:

• The hood should be centred with respect to the cooker.
• he hood is supplied with two supports/hooks (a)(Fig 3) or bracket (b) that need to be fixed to the wall by means of wall anchors . The L1 holes for these supports are on the back of the hood (fig.4)
• Remove the anti-grease filters, put the hood on the wall and mark the position of the holes for the supports/hooks.
• Drill the two previously marked holes after removing the hood from the wall.
• Fix the two supports/hooks to the wall.
• Mark the L2 holes on the wall to fix the hood safely. (fig. 4) Drill and put the anchors in the holes.
• Hang the hood on to the supports/hooks (fig. 5) and level by means of the adjusting screw (fig.3).

Fix the hood safe by tightening both wall anchors. Ducted mode or Recirculation mode installation:
Ducted mode:
In the ducted mode, connect the motor outlet to the fumes outlet duct not less than 120mm diameter.

Warning: if the hood is equipped with an active carbon filter, it must be removed (see page7)

Recirculation mode:
Leave the motor intake free. Install the active carbon filters as shown in page 7.
Warning: if the hood is not supplied with an active carbon filter, it is necessary to buy it separately and assemble it before using the hood.
m) Chimney assembly:
Adjust the two telescopic chimneys to the required length (fig. 6). Block the chimneys by tightening the two H screws . Place the chimneys group on the top side of the hood carefully. Put the chimney bracket K on the B chimney (fig. 6). Mark the holes on the wall for fixing the chimney bracket to the wall.
Remove the chimney set, drill and fix the support racket to the wall by means of wall anchors. . Put the chimney group back in place and fix it to the hood with the Z screws and to the chimney bracket with the L screws as shown in figure 6.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
It is recommended that all electrical connection operations are performed by a qualified technician. The appliance is supplied WITHOUT A PLUG. It is therefore necessary to fix a plug to the wire. The plug and fuse must be in accordance with the rating plate inside the hood. Then connect it to a nearby, easily reachable socket in accordance with the rules in force. In the case of a direct connection to the mains supply, it is necessary to put a switched spur between the appliance and the mains supply. The switch must be suitable for the load, compliant with the rules in force and must have a minimum contact opening of not less than 3mm.

  clean/replace the filters .

Pressing the Reset button  the 100h count will start again

Note: Pressing the reset button accidentally before the end of the 100h cycle does not reset the filters cleaning memory
It is recommended that grease filters are cleaned every 100h and active carbon filters are replaced every 200h.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:

Before performing any cleaning and/or maintenance operation always disconnect the hood from the mains supply.
Regular cleaning will ensure a good performance and extend the working life of the hood. Special attention should be given to the grease filters and carbon filters (for recycling hoods only).
Note: An excess of grease in the filter, as well as affecting the performance of the hood, can also be a fire risk.
EXTERNAL CLEANING:
External and internal cleaning of the hood should be performed with a damp cloth and a non-bleach liquid detergent, absolutely avoiding solvents or abrasive substances. It is advisable to use specific products, following their instructions. When cleaning the steel of the hood, we suggest rubbing in the same direction as the grain.

Special attention should be reserved to the metal grease filters. An excess of grease in the filter, as well as affecting the performance of the hood, can also be a fire risk. To avert fires, the filters must be cleaned regularly at least once a month or more frequently, in the case of a heavy use of the appliance.
According to your hood’s model, remove one filter at a time as shown in these pictures. Wash the filters thoroughly with a non-bleach detergent, either by hand or machine. Re-assemble the filters, making sure that the handle faces the outside of the hood.

CARBON FILTERS REPLACEMENT: (For recirculated version only)

The carbon filters can only retain odours for a limited period of time. They cannot be washed, therefore, it is recommended they are replaced at least once every six months or more frequently in the case of a heavy use of the appliance. Before starting, make sure the hood is disconnected from the mains supply. To reach the active carbon filters, it is necessary to remove the metal filters as shown above. Use the pictures to find the carbon filter kit of your hood. Round filter: simply rotate the filters 90 degrees as shown in fig. A and then remove them from their seats.
Spring-held cartridge filter (fig. B): press enough to overcome the spring’s resistance and remove the filter. Cartridge filter with bracket and threaded knob (fig. C): unscrew the knob, remove the blocking racket and then remove the active carbon filter. Re-assemble the carbon and metal filters performing the above mentioned operations backwards.
Note: only for the electronic controlled hood, reset the filters cleaning warning by pressing the Filter reset button.

LIGHTS REPLACEMENT

Before performing any cleaning and/or maintenance operation, disconnect the hood from the mains supply. According to the model, the hood can be equipped with different kind of lighting such as incandescent, halogen and neon lamps.

• Halogen lamps: G4, 20W – 12V lamps . To replace the lamp, use a screwdriver to remove the glass-supporting ring. Then remove the old lamp and insert the new one.
•  the glass back, securing it with the ring.
• Biax neon lamps: G23 11W lamp. Once the fixture has been removed, remove the biax lamp from its seat and support. Put a new lamp in, performing the same operations backwards.
• Neon lamp: 15/18W neon tube. To reach the neon tube, unscrew the glass framework screws. Rotate the tube 90 degrees and remove the neon lamp. Install the new neon tube and put the glass framework back.
