• Never operate the unit in the presence of inflammable materials and/or
fumes (alcohol, insecticides, benzene, etc.).
• As provided by the norms regarding electrical safety, the unit must be
correctly connected to an effective electrical ground system. In case of any
doubt, have a qualified technician carefully inspect the system.
• Installation of the unit also requires installing a single-pole switch whose
contact gap measures at least 3 mm.
• The unit's intake and outlet ports must be left unobstructed so as to assure
proper airflow.
• Sufficient air must be allowed to enter the room to have the unit
function properly. If there are other fuel-burning units in the room that
are not airtight (gas stove, water heater, etc.) make sure enough air
gets into the room to permit proper combustion.
• The unit must exhaust either directly to the outside or into a single
duct specifically installed to carry off the products of combustion
produced by the cooking appliances.
• The unit's filter must be cleaned periodically to keep it from becoming
a fire hazard.
Usage Rules
1) The edge of the VORT KAPPA must be at least 80 cm. from the cooking
surface (Fig. 1).
2) The exhaust fan must be turned on at the beginning of the cooking operation.
3) When the cooking operation has been completed, the exhaust fan must be
left on for another 10 or 15 minutes to completely eliminate residual
cooking odors and vapors.
Function
The air is sucked in through a multiple aluminum filter which protects the
motor-ventilator unit from becoming soiled. The air is discharged either directly
to the outside or through a 10 cm. diameter tube connected to the flue.
Installation
1) Unscrew the knob ( C) and remove the filter (A) (Fig. 3).
2) Remove the screws (E) (Fig. 4) and the motor-holder ( R) from the housing (D).
3) The housing (D) can be secured to the overhang in one of the following
three ways (Fig. 5).
a) Make four holes (5 mm dia. max) in the ceiling of the overhang
corresponding to the holes (F) in the housing (D). Secure the housing with
the four supplied self-tapping screws and lock washers.
b) Make four holes (5 mm dia. max) in the ceiling of the overhang
corresponding to the holes (G) in the housing (D). Secure the housing with
the four supplied M4x35 screws, nuts and lock washers.
c) Insert the four supplied self-tapping screws into the holes (G) in the
housing (D) and screw down into the ceiling of the overhang.
NOTE: Do not use this method for installing under the glass hood.
4) Make the electrical connections.
a) Puncture the pretraced diaphragm (1) on the side of the strip that is most
suitable. Insert the supplied grommet into the produced hole and introduce
the feed wire (Fig. 6).
Connect to the terminal as shown in the diagrams provided and tighten the
cable below the cable clamp contained in the accessories bag.
b) Diagram (Fig. 7) x 2-speed VORT KAPPA (N1 = minimum speed)
c) Diagram (Fig. 8) x VORT KAPPA with Electronic Control.
5) Reposition the motor support (B), remembering to firmly tighten the
screws (E), the filter (A) and the knob (C).
Cleaning
The VORT KAPPA has a mechanical filter mounted on the intake port. To
clean this filter proceed as follows:
1) Disconnect the appliance from electrical supply.
2) Remove the filter (A) and indicated in the instructions (Fig. 3).
3) Wash the filter (A) with neutral detergent or in a washing machine, taking
care not to deform it.
4) Clean the motor-holder shelf (B).
5) Put the filter (A) back in its original position.
6) Restore power supply.
