INSTALLATION, OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR COOKER HOOD
MOD. i-HOOD 230-240Vac - 50Hz
Exhausting cooker hood. The equipment is constructed in accordance with European Standards and with the requirements included in the following Directives:
2006/95EC (Low Voltage Directive), 2004/108 (Electromagnetic Compatibility).
PRESENTATION
The equipment (Picture 1)
is made of the following items:
1)
Cooker hood body
2)
Telescopic chimney
WARNINGS
The present instruction manual is an integral part of the appliance itself,
therefore it must be carefully kept and ALWAYS accompany it, even in
case of its assignment to another owner or user or in case the cooker
hood is moved to another installation plant.
Make sure that the voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) ratings indicated
on the plate inside the cooker hood correspond to the ones available in
the installation place.
Any eventual adjustment to the electrical system, which may be
necessary to install the cooker hood, must be carried out only by
competent people. Any repair carried out by no competent people may
cause damages. For any repair or needed technical action make
reference to a Technical Assistance Center, which is authorized to carry
out the replacement of the spare parts.
Always make sure that all the electrical parts (lights, exhaustion unit) are
disconnected when the appliance is not in use.
By storms take off the main switch of the house electrical system.
The using of the cooker hood must not be other than the use of
exhausting units for cooking damps on domestic kitchens. The
manufacturer does not accept any liability for damages caused by
people, animals or things, by installation and maintenance mistakes or
by any illegitimate use.
We remind that the use of products functioning with electrical energy
implies the observance of some essential security rules, as follows:
This equipment is not intended for people (children included) with
reduced mental or motor capacities, with lack of experience or
knowledge, unless they are supervised or unless a person
responsible for their security, gives them instructions regarding
the use of the equipment. Children must be supervised in order to
be sure that they do not play with the equipment.
Any cleaning action is forbidden if the appliance hasn’t been
disconnected from the main power supply and if the main switch
of the house electrical system is not off. If cleaning is not carried
out according to these instructions, a fire may break out.
Do not pull, take off or twist the cable coming out from the
appliance, even though this has been disconnected from the main
power supply.
Do not sprinkle or throw any water directly on the appliance.
Do not stick any sharp tool inside the exhausting holes and into
the air discharge.
Do not take out the filters in order to reach the internal sides of the
appliance in case the main switch of the house electrical system
is not off.
Do not singe or flambé directly underneath the cooker hood. Take
particular care when frying to ensure that the oil does not catch
fire
INSTALLATION
Read the instruction manual before installing and/or using the hood .
In order that the minimum distance between the supporting surface for
the cooking pots on gas hob and low-voltage components present in the
hood is at least 65cm as required by the regulations in force, it is
necessary that the lower part of the hood is at least 60cm away from the
work top.
If the mounting instructions of the gas cooker indicate a wider distance,
respect it. The unit must not be mounted above cookers fitted with top
radiant plate.
Respect all the air discharge regulations.
The air must not be discharged in a pipe used to discharge exhaust
fumes produced by gas- fed equipment or fuel-fed equipment (this does
not apply to filtering hoods).
The room must be adequately ventilated when the hoods is used together
with other gas-fed or fuel-fed equipment.
For an easy access, it is advisable to move possible furniture under the
installation area.
Installation of the hood onto the wall.
The hood is equipped with all the necessary fastenings for its installation,
which are suitable for most surfaces. Anyway, ask to a professional to
verify that the installation surface is strong enough. Installation must be
carried out by qualified installers according to present regulations.
For mounting the hood follow the illustrations in Fig. 1-2.
After having drawn and drilled the wall as in Fig. 2, use the following
fastenings for installation:
•Blocking dowels (A)
•Suspending and levelling dowels (B)
•Open the plastic duct supplied with the hood.
•Fasten the same to the two holes of the bracket fixed on upper part of
the hood, behind the loudspeakers (Fig.5).
•Unroll the antenna wire coming out from the hood, and then pass into
the duct from the bottom up: the antenna wire is distinguished from others
because it is clamped by itself.
•Close the duct while positioning the wire inside. The wire sticks out from
the upper side of the same and will remain free in the air (Fig.5)
•Brackets and screws for fixing the chimney to the wall (C)
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This equipment must be connected to a grounding plant. Two types of
electrical connection can be used:
1)
Using a standard plug to be connected to the power cable and
inserted in a mains socket which must be accessible (so that the
plug can be disconnected when servicing is carried out). Make
sure that the plug is accessible also after the complete installation
of the equipment.
2)
By means of a fixed mains connection, fitting a bipolar switch,
which ensures the disconnection, with an opening distance of the
contacts allowing a complete disconnection on the conditions of
the overvoltage III category, according to installation regulations.
The ground connection (yellow-green wire) must not be
interrupted.
Refer to the plate inside the hood for the mains voltage and frequency
ratings.
If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer
or by its service agent or a qualified person in order to avoid any risk.
USE
This cooker hood can be employed as exhausting or filtering.
Exhausting
(external evacuation). Kitchen smokes are driven outside
through a flue (not provided with the hood) joined to the exhaust pipe flue
connector. This pipe must not under any circumstances be connected to
cooker, boiler or burner exhaust pipes, etc.
The use of pipes and holes on the wall with a smaller diameter than the
output of the motor will cause a decrease in suction performance and an
increase of the noise level.
Use as short as possible tubes and with few curves.
Use pipes with smooth internal surfaces.
Filtering
(inside recycling). The fumes pass through activated carbon
filters (supplied with the hood) to be purified and recycled into the kitchen.
OPERATION
VENTILATION
The hood should be run at low speed under normal conditions and at
higher speeds only when there is a heavy build-up of fumes or odours.
Ideally, the hood should be switched on as soon as cooking is started
and then kept on until all odours have been eliminated.
The controls are indicated below. Press to turn on/off the light, press
0-1
to switch on the hood at first speed and to switch off the aspirator,
press
2
-
3
-
4
to select functioning speeds.
By pressing of the command
0-1
the motor starts running at the 1st
speed. The commands
2
-
3
-
4
switch the motor on respectively at the
2nd, 3rd and 4th speed. In order to switch the motor off press once if set
at the 1st speed, twice if set at the 2nd, 3rd and 4th speed. With the
button
4
select the maximum speed of the extraction fan for 5 minutes
(button blinking), after which the extraction fan will automatically switch
to the 3rd speed
.
Adjustable and delayed self switching off
With the hood in function, choose the desired speed, then hold until it
flashes the speed button that corresponds to the minutes of sleep to be
set, bearing in mind that:
0-1
corresponds to 5 minutes
2
corresponds to 10 minutes
3
corresponds to 15 minutes
During the self-switching off time, it is possible to change the speed set.
If you choose the maximum speed, after 5 min automatically it switches
to the 3rd speed and self-switching time will be set at that speed.
