ENGLISH
The equipment can be used by children over the age
of 8 and by persons with reduced physical, sensory and
mental abilities, or with no experience or knowledge,
as long as they do so under supervision or after having
received relative instructions regarding safe use of the
equipment and understanding of the dangers connec-
ted to it. Children are not to play with the equipment.
Cleaning and maintenance by the user must not be car-
ried out by children without supervision.
USE AND CLEANING WARNINGS
Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance
operations, disconnect the equipment by re-
moving the plug or switching off the main switch.
Do not use the hood with wet hands or bare feet.
Always check that all electrical parts (lights, extractor
fan) are off when the equipment is not being used.
The maximum overall weight of any objects placed
or hung (if applicable) on the hood must not exceed
1.5 Kg.
Always supervise the cooking process during the use of
deep-fryers: Overheated oil can catch fire.
Do not leave open, unattended flames under the hood.
Do not prepare food over an open flame under the
hood.
Never use the hood without the metal anti-grease filters:
in this case, grease and dirt will deposit in the equipment
and compromise its operation.
Accessible parts of the hood can be hot when used at
the same time as the cooking appliances.
Do not carry out any cleaning operations when parts of
the hood are still hot.
There can be a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out
according to the instructions and products indicated in
this booklet.
Disconnect the main switch when the equipment is not
used for long periods of time.
If other appliances that use gas or other fuels
are being used at the same time (boiler, stove,
fireplaces, etc.), make sure the room where the
fumes are discharged is well-ventilated, in compli-
ance with the local regulations.
INSTALLATION
only intended for qualified personnel
Before installing the hood, carefully read the chapter 'SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS'.
TECHNICAL FEATURES
The technical specifications are exhibited on the labels located inside the hood.
POSITIONING
The minimum distance between the highest part of the cooking equip-
ment and the lowest part of the hood is indicated in the installation in-
structions.
Generally, when the hood is placed over gas cookers, the distance must be at
least 65 cm (25.6''). However, according of standard EN60335-2-31, the minimum
distance between the cooker and lower part of the hood can be reduced to the
quota reported in the installation instructions.
Should the instructions for the gas cooker specify a greater distance, this must
be taken into consideration.
Do not install the hood outdoors and do not expose it to outdoor environment
(rain, wind, etc.).
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
(only intended for qualified personnel)
Disconnect the equipment from electrical mains power supply be-
fore carrying out any operations on the hood.
Ensure that the wires inside the hood are not disconnected or cut:
in the event of damage, contact your nearest Servicing Department.
Refer to qualified personnel for electrical connections.
Connection must be carried out in compliance with the provisions of law
in force.
Before connecting the hood to the electrical mains power supply, check that:
• voltage supply corresponds with what is reported on the data plate located
inside the hood;
• the electrical system is compliant and can withstand the load (see the tech-
nical specifications located inside the hood);
• the power supply plug and cable do not come into contact with temperat-
ures exceeding 70 °C;
• the power supply system is effectively and properly connected to earth in
compliance with regulations in force;
• the socket used to connect the hood is within reach.
In case of:
• devices fitted with cables without a plug: the type of plug to use is a ''stand-
ardised'' one. The wires must be connected as follows: yellow-green for earth-
ing, blue for neutral and brown for the phase. The plug must be connected to
an adequate safety socket.
• fixed equipment not provided with a power supply cable and plug, or any
other device that ensures disconnection from the electrical mains, with an
opening gap of the contacts that enables total disconnection in overvoltage
category III conditions.
Said disconnection devices must be provided in the mains power supply in
compliance with installation regulations.
The yellow/green earth cable must not be cut off by the switch.
The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for failure to comply with the safety
regulations.
FUMES DISCHARGE
EXTERNAL EXHAUST HOOD (SUCTION)
In this version the fumes and vapours are discharged outside
through the exhaust pipe.
To this end, the hood outlet fitting must be connected via a
pipe, to an external output.
The outlet pipe must have:
• a diameter not less than that of the hood fitting.
• a slight slope downwards (drop) in the horizontal sections to prevent con-
densation from flowing back into the motor.
• the minimum required number of bends.
• the minimum required length to avoid vibrations and reduce the suction per-
formance of the hood.
You are required to insulate the pipes if it passes through cold environments.
In the presence of motors with 800m3/h or higher, a check valve is present to
prevent external air flowing back.
Deviation for Germany:
when the kitchen hood is used at the same time as appliances that are powered by
energy other than electricity, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 4 Pa
(4 x 10-5 bar).
HOOD WITH INTERNAL RECIRCULATION (FILTERING)
In this model, air passes through the active carbon filters HP (op-
tional) to be purified and is then recycled into the environment.
Ensure that the active carbon filters HP are assembled into the
hood, if not, install them as indicated in the assembly instructions.
