• If the hob is electric, gas, or induction, the minimum
distance between the same and the lower part of the
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.5A) 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.
• Fixing to the wall:
- Drill the holes A respecting the distances indicated
(Fig.2).
- Fix the appliance to the wall and align it in horizontal
position to the wall units.
- When the appliance has been adjusted, definitely fix
the hood using the screws A (Fig.3).
For the various installations use screws and screw
anchors suited to the type of wall (e.g. reinforced
concrete, plasterboard, etc.). If the screws and screw
anchors are provided with the product, check that
they are suitable for the type of wall on which the
hood is to be fixed.
• Fixing the decorative telescopic flue:
- Arrange the electrical power supply within the
dimensions of the decorative flue. If your appliance is
to be installed in the ducting version, prepare the air
exhaust opening.
- Adjust the width of the support bracket of the upper
flue (Fig.4).
- Then fix it to the ceiling using the screws A (Fig.4)
in such a way that it is in line with your hood and
respecting the distance from the ceiling indicated in
Fig.2.
- Connect the flange C to the air exhaust hole using a
connection pipe (Fig.3).
- Insert the upper flue into the lower flue.
• Filter hood:
- To replace the active carbon filters, pull lever outwards
as shown in Fig.5B.
USE AND MAINTENANCE
• We 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 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 it is
important that they are completely dry.
• Clean the hood frequently, both internally and
externally, using a cloth dampened with denatured
alcohol or neutral liquid detergents that are non
abrasive.
• The lighting .system is designed for use during
cooking and not for the prolonged general lighting
of the room. The prolonged use of the lighting system
significantly decreases the average duration of the
bulbs.
• Attention: the non compliance with the hood
cleaning warnings and with the replacement and
cleaning of the filters entails risk of fires. One therefore
recommends keeping to the suggested instructions.
• Replacing LED lamps (Fig.6B):
If the appliance version is with LED lamps, the
intervention of a specialised technician is necessary
to replace them.
• Control (Fig.7):
NOTE: with this command it is also possible to control
the appliance using a remote control, to be requested
as an accessory.
A Button = Switches the hood on/off. The equipment
switches on at the 1st speed.
B Button = Decreases motor speed.
C Display = Shows the selected motor speed and timer
activation/intense speed/filter warning.
D Button = Increases motor speed.
Pressing the 4th speed button engages the intense
function for 6 minutes, then the equipment goes back
to working at the speed at which it was activated. Du-
ring this function, the number 4 flashes on the display.
- If you wish to deactivate the function before the 6
minutes, press the B button.
E Button = Pressing this button activates the Timer
function even with any of the 1-2-3 speeds engaged
(except the Intense function speed). When the Timer
function is active, the set speed must flash on the
display when the timer is activated.
After 15 minutes, at the end of the countdown, the
hood switches off (motor and any lights remain on).
If the intense speed is engaged, the Timer cannot be
activated.
- If you wish to deactivate the function before the 15
minutes, press the E button.
F Button = Switches the lights on/off.
• Anti-grease/active charcoal filters saturation:
- After 30 h of operation, when the C display flashes,
alternating the working speed with the letter F (i.e.
2 and F), this means that you need to wash the anti
