INTRODUCTION
These instructions are designed to tell you of the varioustechnical details of your cooker hood and to make you familiar with its use. Since these instructions cover more than one type of hood within the same series, it may be that reference is madeto components that do not form part of the hood that you are installing. The hood should be used in the exhaust version to discharge all the kitchen vapours and odours out-door of the building. Fittings can vary from country to country. We reserve the right to modify the product without any notice always with the aim of improvements and in compliance with the relevant norms.
SUGGESTIONS FOR USING THE HOOD IN EXHAUSTPOSITION
When an exhaust hood and a heat source requiring ambient air (e.g. gas, oil,
coal stoves, etc.) are used at the same time, attention is required because
the air necessary for combustion is exhausted from the room through the hood
and this creates depression. There is no such danger when the maximum
depression in the room is 0,04 mbar. In this condition no exhaust gas from the
heat source is piped. To assure this condition, make opening in the room which
cannot be closed (doors, windows, etc. are insufficient) and through which the
air necessary for combustion can freely flow.
Note: All the exhaust ductwork in the apartment or house should be
studied. In case of doubts, get advice or authorization from the person or
agency responsible for the building.
Note: The efficiency of the exhaust hood decreases as the length of the
ducts and number of increase. When using the exhaust version, follow these
rules : Do not connect the exhaust hood to chimneys, flues, and air ducts
serving the room. Before venting into exhaust flues and ducts no longer in
use, ask for approval of person or agency responsable for the building. The
evacuated air must not be let into a warm airduct. For the evacuation of the
exhausted air please note official instructions.
INSTALLATION
Warning :
The discharge air is to be directed to building exterior.
The hood must be mounted over the centre of cooking area.
The minimum distances between the cooking area and the underside of the hood
are 25”19/32 (for the electrical hob) and 19”11⁄16 (for the gas hob).
Warning : If the room contains a flued fuel burning appliance which is not of
the balance flue type make sure these is an adeguate air inlet to the room at
all times so that fumes are not drawn the flue.
Note: The distances, however, are subject to the safety rules in effect
in the various countries. Before drilling the wall make sure that no pipes or
cables will be damaged. If there is no outer waste pipe for the exhaust
version, an air outlet with a diameter of Ø 160 mm (6”19/64) must be made
through the wall.
WALL FIXING OF THE COOKER HOOD – INSTALLATION BY MEANS OF THE BRACKET SUPPLIED
- Check the size of the model you have purchased (see picture 1).
- When installing your product comply with the distance from the cooking surface (see picture 2).
- Remove the three metallic filters (see picture 3).
- Make the holes on the wall according to the template scheme (see Figure 4).
- To secure the hood use the inserts (see Figure 5).
- Hang the hood on the wall (A), and secure it with the screws (C) (see Figure 6).
- Place the bracket (D) and secure it to the wall (B) (see Figure 6).
- Adjust the elements of the telescopic chimney and fix it to the bracket (D) (see figure 7).
CONNECTION EXHAUST
Link a 150 mm diameter air outlet chimney to the spigot. This pipe is an
accessory of the hood.
Warning: To reduce the risk of fire use only metal ductwork.
Attention: The appliance is provided with a supply cord, the appliance
must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.
Attention: If there are three wires in the electrical supply cable they
must be connected as follows:
Grey/Yellow = ground – White = neutral – Black = line
Important: The hood manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage
or loss caused by failure to observe these instructions.
Important: A damage power supply cord must be replaced by the service.
WARNING 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.”
USING THE COOKER HOOD
The cooker hood should be switched on either before or the same as cooking ot
frying commences. The filters are more effective if the fan is not switched
off immediately after cooking or frying is completed, but only after a period
of some 20-30 minutes. Before using the cooker hood please ensure that all
plastic films like on metal grease filter and stainless steel ducting are
removed.

Do not do any dry flambè cooking underneath the hood. When frying, never leave
the pan alone because the cooking oil could flare up. Clean all the surface
frequently to avoid danger of fire. This can be done with a cloth or/and with
a brush drenched with denatured alcohol or with any other similar substances,
except for the button. It also important to remove and clean or substitute
frequently the filter installed in the hood.
MAINTENENCE
NOTE : Prior to any maintenence, switch off and disconnect from the electrical supply.
- Under normal cooking conditions the grease should be cleaned every 10-15 days in hot water, to which a suitable detergent has been added. For reasons of efficiency and safety regular cleaning is advised. The grease filter may be subject to a small amount of shrinkage initially.
- The outer casing of the cooker hood should be cleaned with a damp cloth.
GREASE FILTER
This absorbs vapour-suspended grease particles and protects the kitchen and
furniture from grease residues. The filter should be washed every 10 to 15
days (in normal operating conditions). Dip the filter into a degreaser
solution or put it in the dishwasher. Make sure not to damage the filter,
which is made of several layers of this alloy, by hitting or crushing it. The
aluminium filter may change colour, that will have no influence of the
efficiency of the filter.
REPLACING OR CLEANING THE FILTERS
Proceed with the cleaning and repeat the operation counter clockwise. To remove the alluminium grease filter grab the opening tongue at all filters, pull it in your direction and move the filter downwards. To reinstall it operates reversed.
