Use
The hood has been made for use in the internal recirculating
filtering version.
Cooking fumes and steam are aspirated inside the hood,
filtered and cleaned, passing through the fat filter/s and the
carbon filter/s that MUST be supplied with the hood.
Attention! If the hood is not supplied with carbon filter,
then it must be ordered and mounted.
Installation
Specialised personnel must carry out both the electrical
and the mechanical 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 tension must correspond to the tension shown on
the characteristic label situated inside the hood.
The product is meant for connecting directly to the mains
supply, therefore apply a regulation bipolar switch that
ensures complete disconnection from the mains in the
conditions of category III over-tension, conforming to the
installation rules.
Warning! Detail B (fixing bracket to the ceiling - Fig. 1) is
equipped with a conductor (yellow-green) that must be
connected to the earth of the domestic electrical plant.

carried out by the authorised technical assistance service.
Mounting
This type of cooker hood must be fixed to the ceiling.
Very heavy product; hood handling and installation must
be carried out by at least two persons.
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

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.
The hood is equipped with a "TOUCH" device to control the
lights and speed.
For the correct use please carefully read the intructions below.
The cooker hood can be controlled through a remote control
available as accessory kit (see the paragraph relating to the
functioning of the remote control).
Automatic start-up function
The hood is equipped with a temperature sensor which
activates the motor to the first suction speed (power) in the
event that the temperature in the surrounding area is higher
than 70°C.
The user may switch off or modify the suction speed (power)
(see paragraph "suction speed (power) control").
