Suggestions for a correct use in order to reduce the environmental impact: Switch ON the hood at minimum speed when you start cooking and kept it running for few minutes after cooking is finished. Increase the speed only in case of large amount of smoke and vapour and use boost speed(s) only in extreme situations. Replace the charcoal filter(s) when necessary to maintain a good odour reduction efficiency. Clean the grease filter(s) when necessary to maintain a good grease filter efficiency. Use the maximum diameter of the ducting system indicated in this manual to optimize efficiency and minimize noise.
Additional Installation Specifications:
Use only the fixing screws supplied with the product for installation or, if not supplied, purchase the correct screws type. Use the correct length for the screws which are identified in the Installation Guide. In case of doubt, consult an authorised service assistance centre or similar qualified person.
WARNING! Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards.
USE
The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting or filter version.
Ducting version
In this case the fumes are conveyed outside of the building by means of a special pipe connected with the connection ring located on top of the hood.
Attention! The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be purchased apart. Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the connection ring.
In the horizontal runs the exhausting pipe must be slightly slanted (about 10°) and directed upwards to vent the air easily from the room to the outside.
Attention! If the hood is supplied with active charcoal filter, then it must be removed.
Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connection flange).
Using the tubes and discharge holes on walls with smaller dimensions will cause a diminution of  he suction performance and a drastic increase in noise.
Any responsibility in the matter is therefore declined.

• Use a duct of the minimum indispensible length.
• Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow angle: 90°).
• Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.
• Use a duct as smooth as possible inside.
• The duct must be made of certified material.

Filter version
One active charcoal filter is needed for this and can be obtained from your usual retailer.
The filter removes the grease and smells from the extracted air before sending it back into the room through the upper outlet grid.

INSTALLATION

The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking equipment on the hob and the lowest part of the range hood must be not less than 50cm from electric cookers and 65cm from gas or mixed cookers.
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to.
Electrical connection
The mains power supply must correspond to the rating indicated on the plate situated inside the hood. If provided with a plug connect the hood to a socket in compliance with current regulations and positioned in an accessible area, after installation. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not located in an accessible area, after installation, apply a double pole switch in accordance with standards which assures the complete disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to over-current category III, in accordance with installation instructions.
Warning! Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains supply and checking the efficient function, always check that the mains cable is correctly assembled.
The hood is provided with a special power cable ; if the cable is damaged, request a new one from Technical Service.
Mounting
Very heavy product; hood handling and installation must be carried out by at least two persons. Before beginning installation:

• Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the chosen installation area.
• Remove the charcoal (*) filter/s if supplied (see also relative paragraph). This/these is/are to be mounted only if you want lo use the hood in the filtering version.
• Check (for transport reasons) that there is no other supplied material inside the hood (e.g. packets with screws (), guarantees (), etc.), eventually removing them and keeping them.
• If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to rear wall/ceiling. Otherwise put a thick, protective  overing over countertop, cooktop or range to protect from damage and debris. Select a flat surface for assembling the unit. Cover that surface with a protective covering and place all canopy hood parts and hardware in it.
• In addition check whether near the installation area of the hood (in the area accessible also with the hood mounted) an electric socket is available and it is possible to connect a fumes discharge device to the outside (only suction version).
• Carry out all the masonry work necessary (e.g. installation of an electric socket and/or a hole for the passage of the discharge tube).

Expansion wall plugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of walls/ceilings. However, a qualified technician must verify suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of wall/ceiling. The wall/ceiling must be strong enough to take the weight of the hood. Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. Surface mounting only.

OPERATION

Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen vapours. It is recommended that the cooker hood suction is switched on for 5 minutes prior to cooking and to leave in operation during cooking and for another 15 minutes approximately after terminating cooking.
To select the functions of the hood, simply touch the controls.

T1.
Standby mode (the control panel off all functions disabled) / ON (control panel switched on)
Note: After about a minute of inactivity (suction and lights), the hood will automatically switch to standby.
T2. ON/OFF lights
On certain models only (see drawing above): press repeatedly to select the desired light intensity:
L1: low light
L2: medium light
L3: high light
Press again to turn off the lights.
T3. ON/OFF Automatic operation “AdaptTech”.
The hood automatically sets the suction speed (power) 1 to increase if the environmental conditions detected by the hood sensor require it.
If there are no variations in the environmental conditions, after 10 minutes (if the hood is already in suction speed (power) 1), the hood turns off.
Note: for a correct use of this function, first perform the “Setting of the parameters for Automatic Operation” (see corresponding paragraph).
Note: During automatic operation, if the user acts on the other functions that adjust the speed, auto ventilation function is switched off.
T4. Manual selection of the suction speed (power):
L4: suction speed (power) 1
L5: suction speed (power) 2
L6: suction speed (power) 3
Press again to turn off the hood (OFF).
Note: manual selection excludes any other suction related set function.
T5.
ON/OFF Intensive suction speed (power) „POWER BOOST” (timed)
Note: After 5 minutes of operation the hood returns to its previous state.
*T6.
(Only certain models ON/OFF intensive suction speed (power) „POWER BOOST x 2” (timed)
Note: After 5 minutes of operation, the hood goes back to the previous status.
T7.
ON/OFF operation mode “Refresh”.
Every 50 minutes of inactivity, the suction speed (power 1 is turned on for 10 minutes.
T8.
ON/OFF Delayed switch off of the suction speed (power) (approx. 30 minutes
Note: this function is available for the speeds that can be selected with button T4.
T9.
Indicator and reset filter saturation
The button lights on automatically with steady light when it is necessary to perform the grease filter maintenance. The button lights on automatically with flashing light when it is necessary to perform the charcoal filter maintenance.
After performing the maintenance, with the hood off and the button active, press the button for more than 3 seconds to perform the reset of the filter saturation indicator; repeat the operation if necessary (for ex., when both filters are saturated).
Activation of the charcoal filter saturation indicator
The saturation indicator of the charcoal filter is normally disabled. To activate it, proceed in the following manner:
With the display on (ON) and the suction off (OFF), press simultaneously the buttons T8 and T9 for more than 3 seconds; the button T9 lights on with steady light for approx. 5 seconds, to indicate the activation.
To disable it, repeat the operation; the button T9 will flash for approx. 5 seconds to indicate the disabling.
Setting of Automatic Operation parameters
For correct use of the automatic operation, perform “Hood Calibration”.
Hood Calibration
With the display on (ON) and the suction off (OFF), press button T3 for 3 seconds.
The suction speed (power) 1 starts functioning and button T3 flashes to indicate that hood calibration is initiated and it will last for approx. 5 minutes.
Note:** to interrupt the calibration, press T3 for 5 seconds; the calibration will be invalidated and should therefore be repeated.

MAINTENANCE

ATTENTION! Before performing any maintenance operation, isolate the hood from the electrical supply by switching off at the connector and removing the connector fuse.
Or if the appliance has been connected through a plug and socket, then the plug must be removed from the socket.
Cleaning
The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly (at least with the same frequency with which you carry out maintenance of the fat filters) internally and externally. Clean using the cloth dampened with neutral liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive products. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!
WARNING: Failure to carry out the basic cleaning recommendations of the cooker hood and replacement of the filters may cause fire risks. Therefore, we recommend observing these instructions. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to the motor or any fire damage linked to inappropriate maintenance or failure to observe the above safety recommendations.
Grease filter
Traps cooking grease particles. The grease filter must be cleaned once a month using non aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle. When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolour slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity. To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle.
Charcoal filter (filter version only)
It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking. The saturation of the charcoal filter occurs after more or less prolonged use, depending on the type of cooking and the regularity of cleaning of the grease filter. In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least every four mounths.
Replacing lamps
The hood is equipped with a lighting system based on LED technology. The LEDs guarantee an optimum lighting, a duration up to 10 times as long as the traditional lamps and allow to save 90% electrical energy.
For replacement, contact the technical service.
