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 ii 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 the 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
Ill, 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 to 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 covering 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 is switched on for 5 minutes prior to cooking
and left in operation during cooking and for approximately another 15 minutes
after terminating cooking. Below described three types of operation.
ROCKER SWITCH
The hood operation is controlled by (three) switches, which are located on
each side. They are visible when the telescopic front is ejected.
The telescopic hood is equipped with a limit switch. Every time you eject the
telescopic front, the hood will start operating on the previously set gear.
-
0-Turn off the hood.
I– hood operating on speed level 1.
1- shift to enable motor speed II or motor speed Ill. -
II – hood operating on speed level 2 (when switch 1 in position 1) .
III – hood operating on speed level 3 (when switch 1 in position [). -
O/ -Light ON/ OFF
The button labeled as· is used to turn the light ON or OFF. The lighting in
the hood works independently of the hood engine.
Pressing the · will not trigger the hood motor.
When the front panel is returned to the closed position, the limit switch
turns off the hood motor and also turns off the light.
If the hood motor and light switch are already in ON state, the hood motor
will start operating and the lights will turn on, when the front panel is
pulled out.

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, press it and pull it
down.
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 the cartridge at least every four mounths. The
charcoal filter may NOT be washed or regenerated.
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.
Attention!
In case of malfunction of the illumination system contact the technical
service.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
- When you start cooking, switch on the cooker hood at minimum speed, to control moisture and remove cooking odor.
- Increase the range hood speed only when the amount of vapor makes it necessary.
- Keep range hood filter(s) clean to optimize grease and odor efficiency.
