ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
(only intended for qualified personnel)
Disconnect the equipment from electrical mains power supply be-
fore carrying out any operations on the hood.
Ensure that the wires inside the hood are not disconnected or cut:
in the event of damage, contact your nearest Servicing Department.
Refer to qualified personnel for electrical connections.
Connection must be carried out in compliance with the provisions of law
in force.
Before connecting the hood to the electrical mains power supply, check that:
• voltage supply corresponds with what is reported on the data plate located
inside the hood;
• the electrical system is compliant and can withstand the load (see the techni-
cal specifications located inside the hood);
• the power supply plug and cable do not come into contact with tempera-
tures exceeding 70 °C;
• the power supply system is effectively and properly connected to earth in
compliance with regulations in force;
• the socket used to connect the hood is within reach.
In case of:
• devices fitted with cables without a plug: the type of plug to use is a ''stand-
ardised'' one. The wires must be connected as follows: yellow-green for earth-
ing, blue for neutral and brown for the phase. The plug must be connected to
an adequate safety socket.
• fixed equipment not provided with a power supply cable and plug, or any
other device that ensures disconnection from the electrical mains, with an
opening gap of the contacts that enables total disconnection in overvoltage
category III conditions.
Said disconnection devices must be provided in the mains power supply in
compliance with installation regulations.
The yellow/green earth cable must not be cut off by the switch.
The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for failure to comply with the safety
regulations.
FUMES DISCHARGE
EXTERNAL EXHAUST HOOD (SUCTION)
In this version the fumes and vapours are discharged outside
through the exhaust pipe.
To this end, the hood outlet fitting must be connected via a
pipe, to an external output.
The outlet pipe must have:
• a diameter not less than that of the hood fitting.
• a slight slope downwards (drop) in the horizontal sections to prevent conden-
sation from flowing back into the motor.
• the minimum required number of bends.
• the minimum required length to avoid vibrations and reduce the suction per-
formance of the hood.
You are required to insulate the pipes if it passes through cold environments.
In the presence of motors with 800m
prevent external air flowing back.
Deviation for Germany:
when the kitchen hood is used at the same time as appliances that are powered by
energy other than electricity, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 4 Pa
(4 x 10-5 bar).
/h or higher, a check valve is present to

HOOD WITH INTERNAL RECIRCULATION (FILTERING)
In this model, the air passes through the charcoal filters to be
purified and recycled in the environment.
In this version the check valve must not be assembled: remove it if it is
on the air outlet fitting of the motor.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
only intended for personnel qualified
The hood can be installed in various configurations.
The generic assembly steps apply to all installations; for each case,
follow the specific steps provided for the required installation.
OPERATION
WHEN TO TURN ON THE HOOD?
Switch on the hood at least one minute before starting to cook to direct fumes
and vapours towards the suction surface.
After cooking, leave the hood operating until complete extraction of all vapours
and odours. By means of the Timer function, it is possible to set auto switch-off
function which will allow the hood to turn off automatically after 15 minutes of
operation.
WHICH SPEED IS TO BE SELECTED?
1st speed: maintains the circulation of clean air with low electricity consump-
tion.
2nd speed: normal conditions of use.
3rd speed: presence of strong odours and vapours.
4th speed: rapid disposal of odours and vapours.
WHEN SHOULD THE FILTERS BE WASHED OR REPLACED?
The metal filters must be cleaned every 30 hours of operation.
For further details see the "MAINTENANCE" chap.
ELECTRONIC PUSHBUTTON PANEL
Motor ON/OFF
Upon start-up, the speed is that stored at the previous operation.
Increase speed from 1 to 4
Speed 4 is only active for a few
minutes, then speed 3 activates.
Reduce speed from 4 to 1
Light on/off
TIMER (red LED flashing)
Auto switch-off after 15 min.
The function deactivates (red LED off ) if:
- The TIMER key ( ) is pressed again.
- The ON/OFF key ( ) is pressed.
If the pushbutton panel is completely inactive, before contacting
the Technical assistance service, disconnect power temporarily
to the appliance (about 5"), possibly by acting on the main swi-
tch, to restore normal operation.
If this measure has no effect, contact the Technical assistance service.
