The GR 09 N may be used as an exhaust or filter hood. Since these
instructions cover more than one type of hood within the same series, it may
be that reference is made to components that do not form part of the hood
that you are installing. If evacuation is available (exhaust duct or air flue) we
recommend using the hood in the exhaust version to discharge all the
kitchen vapors and odors outdoors.
Exhaust version
The hood must be connected by the flange (supplied as part of the hood)
to a duct to vent all the exhausted air outside the kitchen.
Note — The efficiency of the exhaust hood decreases as the length of the
ducts and number of elbows increase. When using the exhaust version,
follow these rules: Do not connect the exhaust hood to chimneys, flues, and
air ducts serving the room. Before venting into exhaust flues and ducts no
longer in use, ask for the approval of the person or agency responsible for
the building. The evacuated air must not be let into a warm air duct. For the
evacuation of the exhausted air please note ufficial instructions.
Suggestions for using the hood in exhaust position
When an exhaust hood and a heat source requiring ambient air (e.g. gas,
oil, coal stoves, etc.) are used at the same time, attention is required be-
cause the air necessary for combustion is exhausted from the room through
the hood and this creates depression. There is no such danger when the
maximum depression in the room is 0,04 mbar. In this condition no exhaust
gas from the heat source is piped. To assure this condition, make openings
in the room which cannot be closed (doors, windows, etc. are not sufficient)
and through which the air necessary for combustion can freely flow.
Note — All the exhaust ductwork in the apartment or house should be
studied. In case of doubts, get advice or authorization from the person or
agency responsible for the building. When using gas burners, gas ovens,
etc. as well as when using the hood in the filter version, these precautions
are not necessary.
Filter version
This version is used when no exhaust duct to the outdoors is available. The
air is purified by an active vegetable carbon filter and recycled into the room.
Make sure the carbon odor filter is inserted.
The filter hood outlet flange must be connected to a duct which passes
through the cabinet and discharges the filtered air.
Installation
The hood must be mounted over the center of the cooking area. The
minimum distances between the cooking area and the under-part of the hood
are 470 mm. for electric burners and 650 mm. for gas burners.
Note — The distances, however, are subject to the safety rules in effect
in the various countries.
Fastening
Note — Make sure the cabinet supports the weight of the hood.
Drill holes in the bottom of the cabinet using as a jig the outline enclosed. Make
sure the front edge of unit G matches the measurement of panel H of the
cabinet. (Fig. 1) From the inside of the cabinet insert four screws supplied
with the hood. If the wall cupboard should be deeper than the appliance, a
spacer (with depth as requested) can be fitted into the 2 elongated holes on
the back part of the hood.
Electric connection
Make sure the supply voltage ratings correspond with those stated on the
appliance data plate.
Attention: If the appliance does not have a plug, when making a fixed
installation, a cutoff device must be used to assure omnipolar disconnection
of the mains. The cutoff distance of the contacts must be at least 3 mm.
Attention: This appliance must be connected to a system equipped with
earth or ground plate.
The manufacturers decline responsibility for problems caused by failure to
observe this rule. The wires in the supply cord are colored as follows:
green/yellow = earth

Operating instructions
The hood should be switched on at least as soon as cooking is started.
The hood has the following controls (Fig. 2):
A - speed switch —
C - motor switch —
In the version with variator, the motor speed increases (decreases) when
the symbol MAX (MIN) is pressed. The display on the left (D) shows the
speed. For appliances provided with microswitch, when the vapor flap is
pulled out one-third of the way, the light turns on (if the light switch is connected).
When the flap is pulled out another two-thirds, the fan turns on (if the motor
switch is connected). The hood turns off when the flap is closed, please keep
the chosen speed stored. This cookerhood is managed through a
microprocessor, so if it doesn't work, pls switch off the motor switch C for two
or three seconds and than switch on again, in order to reset the
microprocessor.
Maintenance
Note — When performing maintenance operations, disconnect the plug
from the socket. Vapors and odors in the air are exhausted first through the
grease filter and then (if the hood is in filter version) through the odor filter.
The efficiency of the appliance depends on the condition of the filters.
Grease filter
This absorbs vapor-suspended grease particles and protects the kitchen
and furniture from greasy residues. There are three types of filter:
1) Acrylic. It can be washed at more or less frequent intervals depending
on how often the hood is used. In any case, it should be washed every
thirty days of hood operation. To do so, wash the filter by hand in warm
blue = neutral (N)

D - display
soapy water (do not wring the filter; press it in a cloth to dry).
2) Special paper (with red diagonal lines on the top of the sheet). Not-
washable: change the filter when the diagonal lines are visible from below
through the grille holes.
3) Aluminum layers. The filter should be washed every 10 to 15 days (in
normal operating conditions). Dip the filter into a degreaser solution or
put it in the dish washer. Make sure not to damage the filter, which is made
of several layers of thin alloy, by hitting or crushing it.
Active carbon odor filter
Attention: The filter should only be used in filter hoods. The exhausted air
passes through the active carbon filter and is cleaned. This filter cannot be
washed and must be replaced depending on how often the hood is used
(about twice a year).
Changing the grease filter (figures 3 and 4)
— Pull out the vapor flap (E). Press handle (F) slightly inwards. Remove the
grille and free filter (L) from the stops (M) and slip it out.
Changing the active carbon odor filter (fig. 5)
— In order to change the filter (R) in the filtering version, please push
handles (N) towards the lamp-cover by pulling them downwards. After
having placed the new filter according to the enclosed instruction-
booklet, insert the protrusions (S) of the filter (R) in their rear seats and
push upwards. Please, take care that the protrusions (P) of the adaptors
(T) are in their proper fore holes. As the filter (R) is an optional, the
exhausting version can be easily converted by the user into filtering
version, following the above mentioned modalities of the instructions-
booklet. Clean the outside of the hood with a sponge soaked with liquid
neutral detergent or with a cloth soaked with denatured ethyl alcohol. Do
not use products containing abrasives.
Changing the bulbs (fig. 6)
— To change the bulbs, it is sufficient to take off the lamp-cover (U). In
version with neon light, it is necessary to remove the lampcover, to
unscrew the four screws (V) and remove the lamp-cover support (Z)
for access. If the bulbs fail to light when operating the switch, make sure
they are screwed in before calling a technician.
Note — The bulbs must be only "olive"-type.
Safety rules
Do not do any flambe cooking underneath the hood.
When frying never leave the pan alone because the cooking oil could flare
up. Clean all the surfaces frequently to avoid danger of fire. To do so use
a cloth and or brush soaked in denatured ethyl alcohol. It is also important
to remove and clean or substitute frequently the filter installed in the hood.
Warning: Exchaust air must not be discharged into any chimney or flu
which may carry combustion products from other sources. In addition,
exchaust air must not be discharged into a wall cavity unless designed for
the purpose.
