INSTALLATION, OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR COOKER HOOD MODEL SHARP
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).
INSTALLATION
Read the instruction manual before installing and/or using the hood.
The unit must be fitted at a distance of at least 65 cm. from the cooking hob. 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 equipments or fuel-fed equipments (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 equipments.
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 a professional to verify that the installation surface
is strong.
Installation must be carried out by qualified installers according to present regulations.
•
Drill the wall as indicated on the drawing 1
•
Insert the hood and fix it with the fixing supports (A)
•
Open the light covers (B) as indicated on the drawing and fix the supports with the
screws underneath the light covers
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
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 supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent
or similarly qualified persons in order to avoida hazard.
EMPLOYMENT
This cooker hood can be employed as exhausting or filtering.
Exhausting (external evacuation). Kitchen smokes are driven outside through a flue
joined to the exhaust pipe flue connector.
This pipe must not under any circumstances be connected to cooker, boiler or burner
exhaust pipes, etc.
Filtering (inside recycling). Smokes pass through the activated charcoal filter (Picture 2 -
C) to be cleaned and recycled in the kitchen.
In this case you should not install the exhaust pipe without curve.
MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect the hood from the mains before carrying out any maintenance or
cleaning operation.
Particular attention should be paid to the metallic anti-grease filters that are designed to
trap particles of fat contained in the fumes. The metallic anti-grease filters must be washed
at least once a month with detergent in hot water (or in the dish-washer).
ATTENTION: the grease collected in the filters can easily catch fire and it is therefore
extremely important to clean the metallic filters on a regular basis as per instructions.
The activated charcoal filters are designed to collect unpleasant odours in the cooking
fumes. The air is then released purified in the environment. The charcoal filters must not
be washed, but replaced 2 or 3 times a year, depending on how much the hood is used.
New filters are to be requested directly to the manufacturer.
In order to replace the activated charcoal filters, turn the filters until they unfasten from
aspirator.
Invert the operation in order to install the new charcoal filters.
In order to remove the remaining glue or any impurity, the cooker hood must be cleaned
immediately after installation and after having removed the protective film.
The cooker hood must be cleaned frequently both internally and externally (at least once a
month).
Do not let dirt gather on the inner and outer surfaces of the hood.
To clean the exterior of the hood do not use either acid or basic products, or abrasive
sponges.
Clean the hood with a sponge dampen in warm water and a little quantity of neutral
detergent (for example dishwasher detergent), in order to remove possible particles of
grease.
Rinse with a damp cloth, removing all the detergent carefully, following the satin finish
direction on the steel surface.
Drying is very important, especially in areas where water is particularly hard and leaves
limestone.
To replace the lamp dichroic just pry with a screwdriver (Pic.3)
Replace the lamp only with an analogous one (halogen max. 20 W, 12 Volts).
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.
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.
Make sure that the voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) ratings indicated on the plate
