INSTALLATION, OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR COOKER HOOD
MOD. LINE-UP 230-240 Vac - 50 Hz
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).
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 frequency (Hz) indicated on the data
plate inside the unit match those available at the installation site. 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 Centre, 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.
CAUTION: Accessible parts may become hot when used with
cooking appliances.
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 increased 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.
INSTALLATION
Read the instruction manual before installing and/or using the hood.
The minimum distance between the supporting surface of the cooking
hob and the lowest part of the range hood must be not less than 65cm
with a gas hob. If the mounting instructions of the gas hob indicate a
wider distance, respect it.
The unit must not be mounted above cookers fitted with top
radiant plate.
For proper operation, it is recommended to install the product at a
distance of 200 – 210 cm from the floor.
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 or fuel equipment.
For an easy access, it is advisable to move possible furniture under the
installation area.
Installing the hood
The hood can be installed in 2 different ways:
• Fixed directly to the ceiling:
This method of fixing can only be achieved if the distance between the
ceiling and the false ceiling is between 260 and 318mm.
For fixing, use the appropriate adjustable brackets (Fig. 5).
Perform the following steps in order:
1. Make an opening in the false ceiling following the dimensions shown
in Fig. 1.
2. Drill 4 holes on the ceiling following the dimensions shown in Fig. 1
for the subsequent anchoring of the adjustable brackets.
3. Adjust the size of the brackets appropriately based on the distance
between the ceiling and the false ceiling (Fig. 2).
4. Screw the brackets to the load-bearing ceiling using the 4 screws
supplied (Fig. 3).
5. Access the lower side of the hood and open the main panel (Fig. 4).
6. Remove the metal filters and the central cover (Fig. 10 and Fig. 11)
and bring the hood closer to its housing.
7. Electrically connect the hood and the air discharge pipe (Fig. 5).
8. Anchor the hood using the 4 screws to the brackets previously fixed
to the ceiling (Fig. 6).
9. Reassemble the central cover and install the metal filters before
closing the main panel.
• Fixed directly on the false ceiling:
WARNING: use this type of installation ONLY and EXCLUSIVELY when
the false ceiling is able to support the weight of the hood:
MOD. LINE-UP87: 25Kg. - MOD. LINE-UP117: 30Kg.
For this method of installation, use the special brackets (Fig.7).
Perform the following steps in order:
1. Assemble the 4 brackets as shown in Fig. 7 and tighten the 4
adjusting screws leaving sufficient travel to engage the hood in the false
ceiling.
2. Remove the metal filters and the central cover (Fig. 10 and Fig. 11)
and place the hood in its housing.
3. Electrically connect the hood and the air discharge pipe.
4. With the hood positioned, adjust the adjusting screws until the hood
is well anchored (Fig. 8).
The aspirator can also, by means of the special extension, be
positioned far from the hood at a distance not exceeding 7mt. In this
case the hood can only be used in the exhaust version.
Respect the installation methods as shown in Fig. 9 in order to keep the
fan's rotation axis horizontal.
For the electrical connection of the motor away from the hood always
use the supplied extension cord and make the earthing connection
using the yellow-green wire.
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.
