outlet in conformity with local standards in force.
Where an electrical plug is not provided (for direct
connection to electrical network) place a standards approved
bipolar switch with an aperture distance of not less than
3mm (accessible) from the contacts.
Mounting the Hood
The diameter of the ventilation duct must be the same as
the that of the flange mounted on the ventilation hole on the
hood.
To mount the hood proceed as follows:
— Position the drilling template inside the left cupboard
on the right hand side with the arrow point towards
the back on the cupboard (Fig. 8)
— Drill the holes marked on the template (Fig. 8)
— Repeat the procedure for the right hand cupboard
— If the sides of the cupboards are 18 mm thick, insert
4 spacers M on the sides of the hood (Fig. 9)
— Fix the hood to the cupboard using four screws N
(Fig. 9).
Adjusting the Pull-Out Drawer
The hood can be installed beneath cabinets with varying
depths. Adjustments for opening and closing the drawer
can be made based on your specific needs.
To adjust the drawer, remove the ventilation grates by
loosening the O screws and adjusting the P brackets. Then
retighten the O screws (Fig. 10).
Using the hood
The hood is provided with several speeds.
For the best performance, we recommend using the low
speeds in normal conditions and the high speeds when
strong odour and vapour concentrations are present.
We recommend starting the hood a few minutes before
cooking and keeping it running for at least 15 minutes until
all the odours have been eliminated.
Maintenance
Caution! Before performing any maintenance,
disconnect the hood from the electrical supply.
Grease Filter
The grease filter serves to trap grease particles by
suspending them.
1. Synthetic Filter (thickness: 10-15 mm): wash the
filter in warm water and a biodegradable detergent
once a month. Let dry without wringing. Replace after
the filter has been washed 5 or 6 times.
2. Thin Synthetic Filter (approximately 1 mm thick):
replace when the coloring from the top is visible on the
bottom part.
3. Thin Synthetic Filter (approximately 1 mm thick -
without saturation indicator) replace every two months.
4. Metal Filter: unlimited life; wash every month in
warm soapy water, or, if possible, in the dishwasher
(60°C). Let dry before reinstalling it.
Removing the Grease Filters (for models wtih grease
filter support grates)
To remove the dirty grease filter, proceed as follows:
a. Remove the pull-out drawer completely and open the
ventilation grates that support the grease filters.
b. Remove the Q fasteners for the grease filter and
remove it (Fig. 11.1). If special metal filters have been
installed, press on the plastic springs R to unhook them
(Fig. 11.2).
c. When washing or replacing the grease filter, wash the
grate as well with warm soapy water.
d. Remount the new filter or the old one after it has dried
thoroughly.
Charcoal Filter
The charcoal filter serves to eliminate odours that form
during the cooking process. Under normal use conditions,
the filter should be replaced every 4 months. It can be
ordered from the retailer. The charcoal filter must never be
washed.
To remove the charcoal filter, proceed as follows:
a. Remove the pull-out drawer.
b. Remove the grease filters and open the light cover
support (or the greas filter support grate).

provided for your appliance, with olive-shaped max.
40 Watt (E 14) bulbs, or neon-lamp 14 Watt max., or
PL lamp 11 Watt (one PL lamp appliance) or PL 9 Watt
(two PL lamp appliance).
