- The connection to the mains is carried out as follows:
BROWN = L line
BLUE = N neutral.
Insulation class I
This is a class I, appliance and must therefore be con-
nected to an effiecient earthing system.
- The appliance must be connected to the electricity
supply as follows:
BROWN = L line
BLUE = N neutral
YELLOW/GREEN =
earth.
The neutral wire must be connected to the terminal
with the N symbol while the YELLOW/GREEN, wire
must be connected to the terminal by the earth
symbol
.
When connecting the appliance to the electricity
supply, make sure that the mains socket has an earth
connection. After fitting the ducted cooker hood, make
sure that the electrical plug is in a position where it
can be accessed easily. If the appliance is connected
directly to the electricity supply, an omnipolar switch
with a minimum contact opening of 3 mm must be
placed in between the two; its size must be suitable
for the load required and it must comply with current
legislation.
• The minimum distance between the support surfaces
of the cooking pots on the cooker top and the lowest
part of the cooker hood must be at least 65 cm. If a
connection tube composed of two parts is used, the
upper part must be placed outside the lower part. Do
not connect the cooker hood exhaust to the same
conductor used to circulate hot air or for evacuating
fumes from other appliances generated by other
than an electrical source. Before proceeding with the
assembly operations, remove the anti-grease filter(s)
(Fig. 8) so that the unit is easier to handle.
- In the case of assembly of the appliance in the suction
version prepare the hole for evacuation of the air.
• We recommend the use of an air exhaust tube which
has the same diameter as the air exhaust outlet hole.
If a pipe with a smaller diameter is used, the efficiency
of the product may be reduced and its operation may
become noisier.
• INSTALLATION
The following instruction should be followed to carry
out the correct installation of the cooker hood.
1. Mounting of the cooker hood on the lower side of
the cupboard
2. Selection of the version (extraction or filtration)
• FITTING THE COOKER HOOD INTO THE LOWER
PART OF THE WALL CABINET
For all measurements relating to the cooker hood,
please refer to Fig. 1.
Before fixing the cooker hood to the lower part of the
cabinet, the following steps should be performed:
1- Remove the 4 screws E fixing the two cooker hood
brackets H (RHS and LHS) in place as indicated in
Fig. 2A.
2- Remove the brackets H as shown in Fig. 2B.
3- Make sure the thickness of the cabinet falls within
the range of values listed in Fig. 2C.
Fit the cooker hood in the cabinet (Fig. 3) and make
sure the 4 springs are fixed in place well.
Fix the cooker hood to the cabinet securely by using a
screwdriver to tighten the screws M until the appliance
is flush with the cabinet (Fig. 3).
• EXTRACTOR VERSION
When installed in this way the appliance expels fumes
outside, either through a perimeter wall or through
existing ducting.
It is therefore necessary to purchase a non-flammable
air exhaust tube (not supplied) which complies with all
current legislation and connect it to flange N (Fig. 6).
• FILTER VERSION
To transform an extractor hood version into a filter
hood version, contact your appliance dealer and ask
for active carbon filters.
The filters should be fitted to the extraction assembly
inside the hood, by centring them and rotating them
90 degrees, until they click into place (Fig. 10). Remove
panels G when performing this procedure (Fig. 8-9 ).
The air is released back into the room through an air
exhaust pipe which passes through the cabinet and is
connected to air exhaust hole N (Fig. 7).
OPTIONAL EXTRA (fig. 9)
The product may also be supplied with the BAFFLE
FILTER suction system fitted.
This is a suction system which offers improved perfor-
mance with respect to the classic aluminium filters.
Its structure means it is able to retain grease particles,
thereby reducing noise to a minimum. It should be
washed regularly every 15 to 30 days in order to
prevent the oil from leaking out; this may be done by
hand or using the dishwasher.
USE AND MAINTENANCE
• W e recommend that the cooker hood is switched on
before any food is cooked. We also recommend that
the appliance is left running for 15 minutes after the
food is cooked, in order to thoroughly eliminate all
contaminated air. The effective performance of the
cooker hood depends on constant maintenance; the
anti-grease filter and the active carbon filter both
require special attention.
• The anti-grease filter is responsible retaining the
grease particles suspended in the air, therefore it is
subject to clogging with variable frequency according
to the use of the appliance.
- To prevent the danger of possible fires, at least every 2
months one must wash the anti-grease filters by hand
using non-abrasive neutral liquid detergents or in the
dishwasher at low temperatures and on short cycles.
- After a few washes, colour alterations may occur. This
does not give the right to claim their replacement.
• The active carbon filters are used to purify the air
that is sent back into the room and its function is to
mitigate the unpleasant odours produced by cooking.
- The non-regenerable active carbon filters must be
replaced at least every 4 months. The saturation of the
active charcoal depends on the more or less prolonged
use of the appliance, on the type of kitchen and on the
frequency with which anti-grease filter is cleaned.
• Before remounting the anti-grease filters and the
regenerable active charcoal filters it is important
that they are completely dry.
