GENERAL
Carefully read the following important information regarding instal-
lation safety and maintenance. Keep this information booklet ac-
cessible for further consultations.
The appliance has been designed as a suction version (external
exhaust) or as a filter version (internal air recycle) cooker hood.
SAFETY PRECAUTION
1. ake care when the cooker hood is operating simultaneously with
an open fireplace or burner that depend on the air in the environ-
ment and are supplied by other than electrical energy, as the cooker
hood removes the air from the environment which a burner or fire-
place need for combustion.
The negative pressure in the environment must not exceed 4 Pa (4
x 10 -5 bar).
Provide adequate ventilation in the environment for a safe opera-
tion of the cooker hood.
Follow the local laws applicable for external air evacuation.
2. WARNING!!
In certain circumstances electrical appliances may be a dan-
ger hazard.
A) Do not check the status of the filters while the cooker hood
is operating
B) Do not touch the light bulbs after appliance use
C) Flambè cooking is prohibited underneath the cooker hood
D) Avoid free flame, as it is damaging for the filters and a fire
hazard
E) Constantly check food frying to avoid that the overheated
oil may become a fire hazard
F) Disconnect the electrical plug prior to any maintenance.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• Electric Connection
The appliance has been manufactured as a class II, therefore no
earth cable is necessary.
The connection to the mains is carried out as follows:
BROWN = L line
BLUE = N neutral
If not provided, connect a plug for the electrical load indicated on
the description label. Where a plug is provided, the cooker hood
must be installed in order that the plug is easily accessible.
An omnipolar switch with a minimum aperture of 3mm between
contacts, in line with the electrical load and local standards, must
be placed between the appliance and the network in the case of
direct connection to the electrical network.
• The appliance must be installed at a minimum height of 650 mm
from an cooker stove.
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 appli-
ances generated by other than an electrical source.
• MOUNTING OF THE HOOD IN THE LOWER PART OF AN
HANGING CUPBOARD
This appliance has to be built in the lower part of an hanging
cupboard or in another support. For the fixing use 4 screws, which
are appropriate to thakind of cupboard, drilling the holes corre-
sponding to fig.1 and 2.
CHANGING FROM EXHAUSTING HOOD TO FILTERING ONE
In order to make this change (possible also after the use of the
exhausting system), demand a set of carbon filters (F) fig. 3 to your
dealer. Active carbon filters are necessary to depurate the air, that
will be released in the room. Filters are not washable; they cannot
be regenerated and have to be replaced at most every 4 months.
The saturation of the activated charcoal depends on the more or
less prolonged use of the hood, on the type of cooking and on the
regularity of cleaning of the grease filter. The filter has to be applied
to the aspirating group, which is inside the hood hiting the centre of
the group with it and turning it of 90 degrees until the stop click is
heard to lock it fig. 3. Remove the grills (G) fig. 3 to carry out this
operation. The air is released in the room through a connecting
pipe, which goes through the hanging cupboard and which is
connected to the connecting ring supplied (B) fig. 1.
USE AND MAINTENANCE
• It is recommended to operate the appliance prior to cooking.
It is recommended to leave the appliance in operation for 15 min-
utes after cooking is terminated in order to completely eliminate
cooking vapours and odours.
The proper function of the cooker hood is conditioned by the regu-
larity of the maintenance operations, in particular, the active car-
bon filter.
• The anti-grease filters capture the grease particles suspended in
the air, and are therefore subject to clogging according to the fre-
quency of the use of the appliance.
In order to prevent fire hazard, it is recommendable to clean the
filter at a maximum of 2 months by carrying out the following in-
structions:
- Remove the filters from the cooker hood and wash them in a
solution of water and neutral liquid detergent, leaving to soak.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water and leave to dry.
- The filters may also be washed in the dishwasher.
The aluminium panels may alter in colour after several washes.
This is not cause for customer complaint nor replacement of pan-
els.
• The active carbon filters purify the air that is replaced in the en-
vironment. The filters are not washable nor re-useable and must
be replaced at maximum every four months. The saturation of the
active carbon filter depends on the frequency of use of the appli-
ance, by the type of cooking and the regularity of cleaning the anti-
grease filters.
• Clean the fan and other surfaces of the cooker hood regularly
using a cloth moistened with denatured alcohol or non abrasive
liquid detergent.
THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR
EVENTUAL DAMAGES CAUSED BY BREACHING THE ABOVE
WARNINGS.
