INSTALLATION, OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR COOKER HOOD MODEL TOUCH
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: EN
60335-1 ( Low Voltage Directive),
EN55014-2
(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.
Verify that the installation surface is strong.
Installation must be carried out by qualified installers according to present regulations.
After having drawn and drilled the wall as in
picture 1
, use the following fastenings for
installation:
Blocking dowels (A)
Suspending and levelling dowels

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.
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 environment by means of holes from which
the purified air will come out. These holes have to be free and communicating with the
kitchen environment.
In this case you should not install the exhaust pipe without curve.
OPERATION
The hood is supplied with a multispeed motor.
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 consist of these commands
.
Press
TL
to turn on the light, press
T1
to swich
on the hood at first speed and to switch off the aspirator, press
T2-T3-T4
to select
functioning speeds
By pressing of the command T1 the motor starts running at the 1
st
speed. The commands
T2-T3-T4 switch the motor on respectively at the 2
nd
, 3

In order to switch the motor off press T1 once if set at the 1
st
speed, twice if set at the 2
nd
,
3
rd
and 4
th
speed.
T4 is selected with the key top speed of aspiration for 5 minutes (flashing key), after
which the fan will automatically switch to 3rd speed.
Change of air
By pressing the T5 control, you activate the change of air, which keeps on functioning for
24 hours. The extractor turns on at the first speed for 5 minutes, then it turns off
automatically. This timed cycle repeats every 25 minutes.
During extraction the light of the command blinks, otherwise it is fixed.
This function is easy to deactivate by pressing the desired speed.
Adjustable and delayed self switching off
Choose the desired speed while the hood is working, then keep the speed button pressed
until it starts blinking. This button corresponds to the desired self switching off minutes.
Please keep in mind that:
T1
corresponds to 5 minutes
T2
corresponds to 10 minutes
T3
corresponds to 15 minutes
While the self switching off is in function, it is possible to modify the speed previously set.
If the same command corresponds both to the time of delayed self switching off and to the
speed, then the led blinks; if the commands are different, the speed led has a fixed light.
During the time of the self switching you can go any change the set speed.If you select
the maximum speed, after 5 minutes the extraction fan switches to the 3rd speed and will
automatically turn off at such speed.
Filters maintenance reminder
Aluminium anti-grease filters
Once the hood is switched off, after 30 hour functioning, all the leds of the speed buttons
switch on with a fixed light for 30 seconds to remind that aluminium anti-grease filter need
cleaning.To set the timer to zero keep the button T1 pressed with the aspirator switched
off, otherwise the timer will remain set on 30 hour functioning and the reminder will occur
again when the hood is switched off again.
Charcoal filter (for filtering hoods)
Once the hood is switched off, after 120 hour functioning, all leds blink for 30 seconds to
remind that the charcoal filter need cleaning.
To set the timer to zero keep the button T1 pressed with the aspirator switched off,
otherwise the timer will remain set on 120 hour functioning and the reminder will occur
again when the hood is switched off again.
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.
Take the charcoal filters off the grease filters. Slide de metal frame including the charcoal
filter off the grease filter.(Pic.2)
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.
Lamp substitution:
- Remove the metallic filter
- Remove the screws (Fig.3-D)
- With a sharp tool pull the glass towards the vents on the image (Fig.3-E) (carry out this
operation carefully in order not to scratch the glass), rise the light cover (Fig.3-F)
- Release the lamp (Fig.3-G) from its support and from the light cover and substitute it
with a similar one (24W)
