Filtering (inside recycling). The cooking fumes pass through the Long-Life anti-odor filter (not supplied with the hood,
Fig. 6.2.2) to be purified and recycled into the kitchen. The use of anti-odor filters reduces the performance of the
hood.
V OPERATION
This hood has been designed to avoid condensation on its lower surfaces when it is placed on top of an induction hob.
Unlike the gas hob, the induction hob only heats the pots and not the surrounding air, so the surfaces of the hood
remain cold.
When hot cooking fumes rise, they meet the cold surfaces of the hood, condense and release the humidity present in
the air which quickly transforms into water droplets that inevitably fall on the hob and food, dragging fat and impurities.
To avoid this problem, all the lower surfaces of the hood are heated by a system of internal heating elements (not
visible), therefore the heating of the lower surfaces of the hood, even without turning on the hob below, is perfectly
normal and is not a signal of a malfunction of the product.
The controls (Fig. 5.1) are equipped with keys for switching on the TL lamp; to switch on the first speed and switch off
the aspirator, press T1, to select the operating speed, press T2, T3, and T4.
Press the T4 button to select the booster
(maximum suction), the aspirator remains at this speed for 5 minutes (with the button flashing) and then it will
automatically switch to the third speed. To activate the anti-condensation function, press the T5 button. The anti-
condensation function starts automatically when the hood is switched on, it can still be deactivated and activated with
the T5 button.
To switch off the motor, press T1: once, if used in 1st speed; twice if used in 2nd and 3rd speed.
The internal grease filter is not heated by purpose, to allow condensation of much of the moisture in the air, so drops
can form on this surface and will be collected in the special lower tray. As soon as the cooking section is over it is
recommended to check whether or not there is water in the tray. The absence of water in the tray is not a sign of the
incorrect operation of the product. To empty the tray, simply push the discharge lever on the front and at the same
time place a container under the discharge valve in the center of the tray to collect the liquids (Fig. 5.2)
The hood is equipped with a multi-speed motor. It is recommended to turn on the hood a few minutes before starting
to cook to allow the lower surfaces to heat up and keep it running until the odors disappear.
While cooking, it is recommended to always use the maximum suction speed of the hood to obtain maximum
performance both in terms of suction and reduction condensation.
V.1 Adjustable and delayed self-switching off
To activate the auto-off, you must turn on the hood at the desired speed, then press and hold the speed button
corresponding to the minutes of auto-off you want to set until it flashes, as follows:
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 choice of the switch-
off time corresponds to the set speed, the speed LED flashes, if the choice is different the speed LED remains fixed.
V.2 Maintenance reminder
Metal 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 the anti-grease metal filter needs cleaning. To set the timer to zero keep the button T1
(Fig. 5.1) pressed with the aspirator switched off, otherwise the timer will remain set on 30-hour functioning and the
reminder will appear when the hood is switched off again.
Condensate tray full warning
An internal electronic sensor immediately switches off the hood and turns on the speed LEDs in sequence when the
water in the condensation tray reaches the maximum level. To reset the warning and be able to restart the hood, it is
essential to empty the condensation collection tray, as described in the OPERATION paragraph.
VI MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Warning! Before any maintenance or cleaning operation, disconnect the hood from the power
supply by setting the main switch of the domestic system to "off".
