Use:
Two systems are available
Exhaust mode
Vapours are extracted outside through an
exhausting pipe that is affixed to the connection
ring above the hood.
Attention! If the hood is supplied with
carbon filter, then it must be removed.
Filter version
The air is filtered through a carbon filter (for its
installation see paragraph "Carbon filter") and
recirculated into the room.
Attention!
If the hood is not supplied with carbon filter,
then it must be ordered and mounted.
In this version vapour and fumes will be exhausted
on the top of the cupboard where the hood will
be mounted through an exhausting pipe with an
internal diameter of 120 mm.
This version is used when there is no exhausting
pipe for venting outdoors or when it is impossible
to install one.
Installation
When installed, the distance between hood and
burners must be not less than 65 cm. above
electric burners or 75 cm. above gas or mixed-
fuel burners.
In the exhaust mode the fumes outlet duct must
be 120 mm. in diameter. In the horizontal runs the
duct must be slightly slanted (about 10°) and
directed upwards to vent the air easily from the
room to the outside. The best performance of the
unit is obtained in the exhaust mode.
The best performances are obtained with short
pipes (max. 4 m) and with few curves.
Electric connection
Before completing any connection, make sure the
house voltage corresponds with the voltage
indicated on the label affixed inside the hood
It is advisable to call a qualified technician to make
the electrical connection.
Appliance fitted with plug.
Connect it to a socket which conforms with
current regulations. If you intend to connect it
directly to the electric mains, remove the plug and
fit an approved bipolar switch with a minimum
contact opening of no less than 3mm.
If the plug is not accessible once it has been
inserted in the socket, it will however be
necessary to fit an approved bipolar switch with
a minimum contact opening of no less than 3mm.
Appliance without plug
Fit an approved plug or an approved bipolar
switch with a minimum contact opening of not
less than 3mm.
The manufacturers are not liable for any problems
caused by the user’s failure to observer the
above instructions.
Using the hood
— The hood is provided with a motor with several
speeds.
For the best performance, we recommend
using the low speeds in normal conditions and
the high speeds in particular cases of strong
odour and vapour concentration.
— We recommend starting up the hood a few
minutes before cooking and keeping it running
until all the odours have been eliminated.
Warning!
— This appliance is designed to be operated by
adults. Children should not be allowed to
tamper with the controls or play with the
appliance .
— The hood cannot be connected to flues of
other appliances that run on energy sources
other than electricity.
— When the hood is used at the same time of
other appliances that run on energy sources
other than electricity, provision must be made
for an adequate supply of air.
— No food must be cooked flambé underneath
the hood.
The use of an unprotected flame is dangerous
for the filters and could cause fires.
Therefore, never use an open flame under the
hood. When frying foods, never leave the pan
alone because the cooking oil could flare up.
— Please, keep to the provisions of official
directives regarding the question of fume
discharge.
— The manufacturers refuse to accept any
responsibility for damage to the hood or its
catching on fire because of failure to observe
the above instructions.
