DECORATIVE EXTRACTOR HOOD
Dear Customer,
Thank you for buying our hood. Please read these instructions carefully for its
optimum installation, use and maintenance.
Notes: The figures mentioned in this manual are in the first pages.
Hood installation on walls (look for the symbol in
the figures)
Warning: consult local regulations regarding fumes outlets. Do not
connect the hood to a fume, ventilation or hot air duct. Confirm that
room ventilation is appropriate with the local authorities. Make sure
the maximum air extraction flow rate for the appliances in the room does
not exceed 4 Pa (0.04 mbar).The room must have adequate ventilation if an
extractor hood is used simultaneously with appliances that run on gas or other
fuels. The evacuated air must be extracted through ducts that are used for
evacuating fumes from appliances that run on gas or other fuels. Regulations
regarding air extraction must be complied with.
INSTALLATION
The hood may be installed to work in two different ways: If there is a possibility
of installing the hood with an evacuation pipe to the outside, it will be used in
aspirating version. If this possibility does not exist, the hood will be used in the
filtering version, recirculating the air using active carbon filters.
Aspiration: If the hood is used in the ASPIRATING version, connect the plastic
conic outlet piece supplied with the hood (125 mm diameter) to an evacuation
pipe connected directly to the outside We recommend the use of a 125 mm.
diameter pipe for better hood performance and lower noise levels.
Filter: This hood can be transformed into an air filter if there is no possibility of
connecting it to the outside. In this case, the air circulates through opening
which you must drill into the furniture. In order to operate as an air filter, you must
use two active carbon filters which are supplied as separate accessories. The
active carbon filters must be replaced periodically in order to work properly,
at least every three months (depending on how frequency the filter is used)
Mounting and fastening to the furniture
– The accessories needed to install the hood are located inside the hood.
– The hood must be installed at least 66 cm. from the stovetop.
– The screws needed to fasten the hood are contained in the bag of
accessories which comes with the hood. (Fig. 2).
Connecting the hood to the grid
Warning: before connecting the hood: switch off the electricity supply
and check that the supplied voltage and frequency coincide with that
indicated on the appliance nameplate.
If the extractor hood has a plug, connect it to a power socket in line with
applicable regulations, located in an accessible area.
If the hood does not have a plug, connect it directly to the electrical grid,
protected by a separator device accessible for disconnection, in line with local
regulations.
Use of the hood – Safety
Warning: the hood may stop working during an electrostatic discharge
(e. g. lightning). This involves no risk of damage. Switch off the electricity
supply to the hood and reconnect after one minute.
Do not allow the hood to be used by children or persons with reduced
(physical, sensory or mental) capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised so that they do not play with the appliance.
To avoid the risk of fire, clean the metal filter regularly, permanently control
pans containing hot oil and do not flambé food underneath the hood.

Hood maintenance
Warning: always switch off the electricity supply before carrying out
maintenance work on the hood. In the event of a fault, contact an
official distributor or authorised dealer.
Exterior cleaning: use non-corrosive, liquid detergent and avoid the use of
abrasive cleaning products.
Grease filters: to avoid fires, clean thoroughly once a month or whenever the
display pilot light indicates as such. To do so, remove the filters and wash with
hot water and detergent. If using a dishwasher, position the filters vertically to
prevent solid remains from depositing on them.
Activated charcoal filters: replace the every 3 months.
Important: increase the filter cleaning/replacement frequency if the hood
is used for more than 2 hours a day. Always use genuine filters from the
manufacturer.
