INSTALLATION, OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS FOR COOKER HOODS FOR WALL FITTING
230 Vac - 50 Hz
The equipment is constructed in accordance with European
Standards and the requirements included in the followin
Directives: 72/23 EEC (electric-low tension safety), 89/336 EEC
(electromagnetic compatibility), 93/68 EEC (EC marking
regulations).
Before installing and/or using the hood:
•
read all the instructions thoroughly;
•
make sure that the voltage (V) and frequency (Hz) rating
indicated on the plate inside the hood unit correspond to
the mains supply available;
We rocommend that the equipment be installed by expert
personnel.
1
INSTALLATION
This hood can be used as an extractor or a filtering unit.
The unit must be fitted at a distance of at least 65-70 cm. from
the cooking hob. It must not be mounted above cookers fitted
with top radiant plate. The contaminated air must be discharged
in a manner complying with current regulations.
Two different wall-mounting systems are used, depending on the
model (Fig. 1-2)
A) Handing and levelling brackets.
B) Retaining screws.
C) Hood/flue securing screws (Just where it's provided)
D) Flue/wall bracket and securing screws.
EXTRACTOR (fumes exhausted externally)
Cooking fumes are conveyed away from the kitchen to the
outdoor environment by way of ducting. Connect said tube
with suitable diameter to the junction supplied (Fig. 3). The
tube should have its outlet outside the house. This pipe must
not under any circumstances be connected to cooker, boiler
or burner exhaust pipes, etc. If the hood is operated in suction
function whilst stoves, gas cookers, fuel-fed boilers. etc. are
being used, ventilation from outdoors must be provided.
The suction model hood is not fitted with a carbon filter.
FILTER (internal air recycle)
In this instance, cooking fumes directed up through the activated
carbon filters are purified and returned as clean air to the
kitchen. The air outlet must be unobstructed, and freely open to
the kitchen space (Fig. 4).
Check that the carbon filters are installed by removing the metal
covers as illustrated (Fig. 5).
2
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
This appliance must be connected to an earthed power supply.
Two types of electrical connection can be used:
1.
Using a standard plug connected to the power cable and
inserted in a mains socket which must be accessible at all
times (so that the plug can be disconnected when servicing
is carried out).
2.
By means of a fixed mains connection, fitting a bipolar
switch with contact openings of at least 3 mm. The ground
connection (yellow-green wire) must not be interrupted.
3
OPERATION
The hood is equipped with a multispeed motor.
It is recommended that low speed be selected for normal kitchen
conditions, and higher speeds only to combat a heavy build-up
odours and vapours.
ELECTROMECHANICAL PUSH BUTTONS
The controls include an ON/OFF switch for the built-in light, and
a further switch for activating and selecting the running speed of
the motor. An indicator light remains on as long as the motor is
in operation.
ELECTRONIC CONTROLS
The (Fig. 7) controls have buttons for switching on the TL
ling, for switching on the motor and selecting the T1-T2-T3-T4
operating speed.
When the T1 button is pushed for the first time, the motor
starts running at the 1st speed; when the button is pushed for
the second time, the motor turns off at any set speed. Buttons
T2-T3-T4 turn on the motor respectively at the 2nd, 3rd and 4th
speed. Press T1 to turn the motor off. The luminous LEDs L1,
L2, L3, L4 indicate the set speed.
AUTO POWER OFF: To activate the auto power off, first turn
on the hood and, then, push down the "T1" button for a few
seconds until all LEDs start flashing. By pressing one of the
buttons (T1, T2, T3, T4) it is possible to program the auto
power off time, which will be different according to the button
pressed (T1= 5 minutes, T2=10 minutes, T3=15 minutes, T4=20
minutes). The set speed can be changed during the auto power
off time. When the auto power off option corresponds to the
previously set speed, the speed LED flashes; if the option is
different, the speed LED is fixed.
FILTER TIMER: After the hood has worked for 30 hours, all
LEDS will switch on with a fixed light for 30 seconds when the
hood is turned off indicating that the aluminium filters need to be
cleaned. The timer will reset if the T1+T4 button is pressed for
a few seconds with the exhaust fan turned off. If this button is
not pressed, the same operation will occur again once the hood
is switched off again. This operation will occur every 30 hours,
until 120 functioning hours are reached. Once the hood has
worked for 120 hours and it is turned off, all the LEDs will turn
on with a flashing light for the following 30 seconds indicating
the that aluminium filters need cleaning and, if the hood is a
filtering hood, the active carbon filters need to be replaced.
Once the timer has been reset (by keeping the T1+T4 button
pressed down for a few seconds with the exhaust fan turned
off), the entire process will present itself again after the next 30
exhausting hours.

MAINTENANCE AND REMINDERS
Always disconnect the hood from the electrical power supply
before commencing any maintenance or cleaning operation.
Particular care must be given to the grease filters, which serve
to trap grease particles entrained in cooking vapours.
The grease filters are metal, and must be washed at least once
a month with warm water and detergent (dishwasher clean is
sufficient).
Dry throughly before refitting.
ATTENTION: the grease collected in the filter can easily catch
fire and it is therefore extremely important to clean the metallic
filter on a regular basis as per instructions.
Grease filters are removed as illustred (Fig. 5).
The function of the activated carbon filters is to prevent the
spread of odours present in the cooking fumes. Clean air is
returned to the kitchen. Activated carbon filters cannot be
washed or serviced, and must be replaced 2 or 3 times a year
according to the amount of use.
Spare filters are obtainable from dealers or direct from the
manufacturer.
Removal: detach the metal covers and rotate the carbon filters
clockwise (Fig. 6) until free of the motor.
Refitment: position the new carbon filters and reverse the
procedure. The hood should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth
using neutral liquid detergents. Do not use solvents, petroleum
products or abrasives.
Never cook flambe' dishes under the hood. Never leave the hob
unattended when frying, as oil or fat can catch fire.
THE MANIFACTURER DOES NOT ACCEPT LIABILITY FOR
ANY DAMAGE OR INSJURY CAUSED IF THE USER FAILS
TO FOLLOW THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING
INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE AND THE PROPER USE OF
THE COOKER HOOD.
