level of odour reduction efficiency.
Clean the grease filter whenever necessary in order to keep it working
efficiently. In order to optimise efficiency and reduce noise, use a duct of
the maximum diameter indicated in this manual.
WARNING! Failure to install screws or fixing devices according to these instructions can cause electrical hazards.
Use
The hood is designed to be used either as a ducting version or as a filter version.
Ducting version
This version conveys the fumes to the outside of the building via an
extraction duct that is fixed to the connecting flange.
The diameter of the extraction duct must be the same as that of the connecting ring.
Warning! The duct is not supplied and must be purchased separately.
In the horizontal section, the extraction duct must have a slight upwards
inclination (about 10°) so that it can convey the air to the outside more
easily.
If the hood is fitted with activated carbon filters, they should be removed.
Connect the hood to the extraction ducts and wall outlets that have a diameter
that is the same as the air outlet (connecting flange).
Using ducts and wall outlets that have a smaller diameter will reduce suction
and lead to a large increase in noise.
We decline any responsibility if these instructions are not complied with.
- Use a duct of the minimum length necessary.
- Use a duct with as few bends as possible (maximum angle: 90°).
- Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.
- Use a duct that is as smooth as possible inside.
- The duct must be made of certified material.
Filter version
The air will be degreased and deodorised before being returned to the room. To
use the hood in this version you have to install an additional activated
carbon filtration system.
Models without a suction motor only operate in ducting mode and must be
connected to an external suction device (not supplied).
Connection instructions are supplied with the external suction unit.
Installation
The minimum distance between the pan supports on the hob and the lowest part of the hood must not be less than 50cm for electric hobs and 65cm from gas or mixed fuel hobs.
If the installation instructions for the gas hob specify a greater distance,this must be complied with.
Electrical connection
The mains power supply voltage must be the same as that indicated on the plate
inside the hood. If provided with a plug, connect the hood to a socket that is
compliant with current regulations and located in an area that is accessible,
even after installation. If it is not fitted with a plug (direct mains
connection) or if the plug is not located in an accessible area after
installation, use a compliant two-pole switch that assures the complete
disconnection of the mains under over-current category III conditions, in
accordance with installation regulations.
WARNING! Always make sure that the mains power cable has been installed
correctly before reconnecting the hood to the mains power supply and making
sure that it works correctly.
The hood is provided with a special power cable; if the cable is
damaged,request a replacement from the technical support department.
Mounting
Before installation:
- Make sure that the product is of a suitable size for the area in which it is to be installed.
- Remove the activated carbon filter(s) if supplied (see also relative section). This/these should be reinstalled only if you wish to use the hood in the filter version.
- Make sure that (for transport purposes) there are no other items inside the hood (e.g. packets of screws, guarantees etc.), which should be removed and kept.
- If possible, disconnect and move any units below and around the area of installation of the hood (wall or ceiling) in order to have better access. Otherwise,protect the furniture units and all the parts involved in the installation as much as possible. Select a flat surface on which to place the hood and the supplied parts and cover it with a protective cover.
- Also make sure that there is an electric socket available in the area in which the hood is to be installed (which can be accessed even after the hood has been installed) and that it is possible to connect to a device that discharges the fumes to the outside (ducting version only).
- Carry out all the masonry work required (e.g. installation of an electrical socket and/or a hole for the passage of duct).
The hood is supplied with expansion plugs for fastening the hood to most types of walls/ceilings. However, a qualified technician should verify the suitability of the materials for the type of wall/ceiling. The wall/ceiling must be strong enough to support the weight of the hood.
Instructions for use
Operation
Use the highest speed if there is a large amount of steam in the kitchen. It
is recommended to switch on the suction 5 minutes before starting to cook and
to leave it on for about another 15 minutes after cooking.
Grease filter signal
After 100 hours of operation, the
LED on button 5 switches on steadily.
When this signal appears, the grease filter needs to be cleaned.
The signal can be seen when the hood is in the Extractor OFF mode.
To cancel the grease filter signal,press and hold button 1 for about 3 seconds
until it turns off.
Maintenance
WARNING! Before carrying out cleaning or maintenance, disconnect the hood from the mains power supply by removing the plug or switching off the main circuit breaker.
Cleaning
The hood should be cleaned, both internally and externally, regularly (at
least as often as you service the grease filters). Use a cleaning cloth
moistened with neutral liquid detergents. Do not use abrasive products. DO NOT
USE ALCOHOL!
Warning: Failure to follow the instructions for cleaning the appliance
and replacing the filter can lead to the risk of fire. Follow the instructions
carefully.
The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damage to the motor or fires
caused by incorrect maintenance or failure to follow the above instructions.
Grease filter
Retains the particles of grease produced during cooking. It should be cleaned
at least once a month (or when the filter saturation indication system – if
installed on the model in your possession – indicates that it is necessary to
do so) using a nonaggressive detergent, either by hand or with a short, low
temperature,dishwasher cycle.
If washed in a dishwasher, the metal grease filter may change colour, but this
not does affect its performance in any way.
Pull the spring release handle to remove the grease filter.
NON-washable activated carbon filter (only for models provided with it)
The carbon filter retains unpleasant cooking odours. The filter becomes
saturated after a variable length of time, depending on the type of cooking
and how often the grease filter is cleaned. In any case, the cartridge should
be replaced at least every four months. This filter CANNOT be washed or
regenerated.
Washable activated carbon filter (only for models provided with it)
The carbon filter retains unpleasant cooking odours. The carbon filter can be
washed once every two months using hot water and suitable detergents, or in a
dishwasher at 65°C (if a dishwasher is used, select the full cycle function
without loading dishes).
Eliminate excess water without damaging the filter, then remove the mat from
inside the plastic frame and place it in the oven for 10 minutes at 100°C to
dry completely.
Replace the mat every 3 years and whenever the cloth is damaged.
Lamp Replacement
The hood is equipped with a LED lighting system.
The LEDs guarantee optimum lighting, last up to 10 times longer than
traditional lamps, and allow energy savings of up to 90%.
For replacement, contact the technical support service.
