IMPORTANT SAFETY ADVICE AND PRECAUTIONS

These instructions are also available on the brand’s web site.
Please read this advice carefully before installing and using your appliance. These instructions are intended to protect your safety and the safety of others. Keep this manual  with the appliance. If you sell or give the appliance to someone else, make sure that you also give them this manual.

• With a view to constantly improving our products, we reserve the right to make changes to their technical, functional or aesthetic characteristics in line with technological progress.
• To easily locate the make, model number, etc. of your appliance, we recommend that you note this information on the “After-Sales Service Department and Customer Support” page.

Important precautions

• This appliance was designed for use by private persons in their homes. Do not use it for commercial or industrial purposes or for any other purpose than that for which  it was designed.
• When you receive the appliance, unpack it or have it unpacked immediately. Check its general appearance. Make a note of any reservations on the delivery slip and keep a copy.
• This appliance can be used by children aged under 8 and by persons with diminished physical, sensory or mental capacities, or persons without any experience or  knowledge, provided that they are properly attended to or are given the instructions on how to use the appliance in complete safety and that any potential risks are anticipated. Children must not play with the appliance. The appliance must not be cleaned or maintained by unsupervised children.
• Caution: The accessible parts of this appliance may become hot when used with cooking appliances.
• The appliance can be disconnected by using an accessible power outlet or by incorporating a switch in the fixed lines, in accordance with installation rules.
• Do not modify or attempt to modify any of this appliance’s characteristics. Doing so could be dangerous.
• The appliance should only be repaired by an approved specialist.
• Always disconnect the hood before carrying out cleaning or maintenance.
• Never use steam or high-pressure tools to clean your appliance (due to electrical safety considerations).

Risk of asphyxiation

• Regulations on the evacuation of air must be complied with. Air must not be sent into a duct used to evacuate fumes from appliances that use gas or other fuels (this  does not apply to appliances that only emit air into the room).
• The room must be suitably ventilated when the cooker hood is used at the same time as appliances that use gas or other fuels (this does not apply to appliances that only  emit air into the room).

Risk of fire

• Flambé-ing food or turning on gas rings below the hood, unless they are covered by a pan is prohibited, since the flames could be sucked in and damage the appliance.
• Keep a constant watch on fryers used below the hood. When heated to very high temperatures, oil and fat can catch fire.
• Clean the appliance and replace filters at the recommended frequency. Accumulated deposits of grease could cause a fire.
• Using the hood above a solid fuel range (wood, coal, etc.) is prohibited.
• If the hood is installed above a gas-fired appliance, leave at least 65 cm between the top of the hob and the underside of the hood. If the instructions for a hob installed  below the hood specify a distance greater than 65 cm, then that distance must be applied.

INSTALLATION

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
During installation and maintenance operations, the appliance must be disconnected from the mains; fuses must be isolated or removed.
The electrical connections should be made before the appliance is installed in its housing.
Check that:

• the electrical installation is sufficiently rated,
• the supply wires are in good condition,
• the diameter of the wires complies with the installation requirements.
  This appliance is supplied fitted with a 3-core (phase, neutral and earth) 0.75mm 2 H 05 VVF cable. It must be connected to a 220-240V single phase mains network via  an IEC 60083 socket which must remain accessible after installation, in accordance with the installation rules.

The fuse in your installation must be 10 or 16A. If the mains cable is damaged, call after-sales service and so avoid any danger.
If the electrical installation in your home requires any changes in order to connect your appliance, contact a professional electrician.
If the hood malfunctions in any way, unplug it or remove the fuse for the circuit concerned.
The installation must comply with current regulations for the ventilation of rooms. In particular, air must not be evacuated into a duct used to evacuate fumes from  appliances using gas or other fuels.
Disused ducts may only be brought into service, if approved by a competent specialist. The evacuation line, whatever its type, must not emerge in a loft space.

2.1 – USE IN EVACUATION MODE
You have a duct that leads outside.
Your hood may be connected to it via an evacuation duct (minimum 125mm dia., made of enamelled, aluminium hose or other non-flammable material). If your duct is less  than 125mm in diameter, you must change to recycling mode.

2.2 – USE IN RECYCLING MODE
You do not have a duct leading to the outside.
All our appliances can operate in recycling mode.
In such a case, purchase a recycling kit comprising a set of active carbon filters and a deflector.

Energy saving advice
To obtain the best performance from your appliance, limit the number of bends and length of the duct as much as possible.
To simplify the installation of your hood, we have designed a two-step fitting system, comprising:

1. Fitting the motor bracket.
2. Assembling the hood body and the chimney.

2.3 – FITTING  THE HOOD
The minimum distance between the coo-king surface (2.3) and the lowest part of the hood is 65cm. If the instructions for a hob installed below the hood specify a distance  greater than 65 cm, then that distance must be applied.

• Draw a horizontal line (A) at least 65cm above the cooking surface.
• Draw a vertical line (B) on the wall, centred on the cooking surface running from the ceiling to the previous horizontal line (A).
• Place the drilling guide (C) against the wall.
• Drill the two holes. Install the plugs. For hollow walls, use suitable plugs and screws (2.3).

2.3.1 – FITTING THE MOTOR BRACKET (P)

• Screw the fixing bar to the wall (K) with the two screws (D) (2.3.1).
• Attach the motor bracket via the suspension fittings (2.3.1).
• Screw the fixing bracket (K) to the wall with the two screws (D) (2.3.1).
• Attach the suction hood using the suspension fittings.
• Adjust the height and level, using the support adjustment screws (the top screw for horizontal adjustment and the lower screw for contact with the wall).
• Fit the locking screw that prevents the appliance being lifted off the suspension fittings (E).

2.3.1 – FITTING THE MOTOR BRACKET (P)

• Screw the fixing bar to the wall (K) with the two screws (D) (2.3.1).
• Attach the motor bracket via the suspension fittings (2.3.1).

2.4 – FITTING THE DUCT

• Evacuation outside
  – Fix the metal duct support at ceiling height, using the two screws (D/E).
  – For a 125mm diameter duct, use the adapter supplied (J).
  If your duct to the outside is less than 125mm in diameter, you must connect your hood in recycling mode.
  – Push the end of the duct on to the motor outlet.
  – Prepare your telescopic duct, taking care to hide the ears.
  – Push the duct, assembled thus, on to the hood and lift the upper part to adjust the height and then screw it on to the metal duct support using the two screws (M).

• Recycling (optional kit – available from after-sales service)
  – Fix the plastic fume deflector (G) against the wall at ceiling height with the two screws. Take care to centre the deflector with reference to the vertical line (B) drawn on  the wall.
  Add the two spacers (P), supplied in the product pouch, to the deflector.
  – Push one end of the duct on to the deflector and the other end on to the motor outlet.
  – Prepare the duct, taking care to position  the ears at the top, so that they are visible (H).
  – Push the duct, assembled thus, on to the hood and lift the upper part to adjust the height and then screw it on to the fume deflector using the two screws (M).
