• Never use the hood if the grease filter is not properly installed.

• The hood must NEVER be used as a support surface unless it is explicitly indicated.

• The space in which the device is installed must have sufficient ventilation when the kitchen hood is used together with other gas combustion devices or other caustic materials. The air duct system of this device should not be connected with any other existing ventilation system which is used for any other purpose such as the exhaustion of fumes generated by gas combustion appliances or other caustic materials.

• The hood is designed for normal home cooking. If used for other purposes, there is a risk of damage which is not covered by warranty.

• Cooking with flames under the hood is strictly prohibited. The use of free flame, damages the filters and may cause fire, so it should be avoided. Frying should be under continuous control to prevent the ignition of heated oil. Accessible hood surfaces may overheat significantly if used simultaneously with cooking appliances.

• The hood should be cleaned regularly, both inside and outside (AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH). This should be done in accordance with the maintenance instructions provided in this booklet). Failure to observe the hood cleaning standards and the replacement and cleaning of filters, causes fire hazards.

• Disconnect the power supply before maintenance procedure. (Unplug).

• If in the same space with the hood there is a device operating on gas or other fuels (eg gas heater, wood heater, oil heater- fireplace), there should be adequate ventilation (open window – door).

• When a chimney is connected to the hood, air ducts are used or 120 mm. The air ducts connection must be as short as possible with few bends.

DEVICE INSTALLATION
For its proper installation, it should be at least 65 cm from electric burners and 75 cm from gas or other combustible energy source.

Place 2X2W led lamps in the lamp holders. Do not use lamps of more than 40W power because they cause local overheating. To avoid noise and vibrations, we recommend placing foam tape on the back between the hood and the wall or at the top between the hood and the cabinet, depending on how you will mount the hood.
The fixing of the hood can be made, either from the holes in the rear of the hood (Fig.2) to the wall or by securing the top in a cabinet (Fig.3).

Maximum length of the mounting screws should be 4.0mm
Warning! If the current instructions of mounting the device and screws usage are not followed there will be risk of electrical hazard.
The hood can be used either for the extraction of odors to the outside or for air filtering and recycling. The installation should be done accordingly. The recycling option is appropriate where there is no possibility of installing exhaust pipes to the outside.
Connection for extracting air out
Outlet form above
Use the outlet form above KIT (Fig.4), place the plastic connecting piece in the outlet of the device at the top and use the screws to secure it.

Outlet from the back

• Remove carefully the metal cover by using a screwdriver and insert the outlet from the back KIT (Fig.5) in which the exhaust pipe should be connected.
• Use the exit cover at the outlet located at the top.

The hood must be connected to Φ120 mm diameter pipe. The connection with the pipe is made with the plastic connecting located within the device.
Long pipes and several curves affect negatively the performance of the hood and should be avoided. Horizontal sections must have a slight call to the exit.
The use of spiral tubes is not recommended because the performance of the hood is reduced.
** The exhaust air should not be dissipated in a conductor which is used for another use such as fume extracting. Local regulations which involve ventilation and evacuation should be applied
Air recycling operation**
The hood can be fitted with a carbon filter which is not contained in the package and it can be separately purchased. Ask for the type D212 in the retail store or in a resale service center.

• Secure the carbon filter to the upper part of grease filter with the special wires (Fig 6).
• Close the upper outltet using the special cover (Fig 7).
• Remove the special cover. (Fig 8)

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Ensure that the mains supply agrees with that specified on the hood’s plate.
The electrical installation must be performed by a licensed electrician.
For installations in an overvoltage category III network, the device should be capable of being disconnected from the supply. For this reason, means of disconnection should be installed in the fixed external wiring, in compliance with international and local regulations for indoor electrical installations. In the case of possible contact of the fixed wiring with the ceiling panels of the device, the fixed wiring must be protected.

In order to work effectively, the hood must start operating just when you switch on the hobs. When cooking finishes, wait another ten minutes before stopping its operation. During cooking, leave a door or window that communicates with the interior of your house ajar. Do not leave your kitchen window or exterior door open, as drafts are created, so all cooking vapors and odors will spread into the room.
CAUTION
If hood and fireplace, oil gas heater, wood or other combustible operate at the same time, you must leave an open window or door that communicates with an external space.
