GENERAL
Carefully read the following important information regarding
installation safety and maintenance. Keep this information
booklet accessible for further consultations. The appliance
has been designed for use in the ducting version (air exhaust
to the outside), filtering version (air circulation on the inside )
or with external motor.
SAFETY PRECAUTION
1.
Take care when the cooker hood is operating simultane-
ously with an open fireplace or burner that depend on the air
in the environment and are supplied by other than electrical
energy, as the cooker hood removes the air from the environ-
ment which a burner or fireplace need for combustion. The
negative pressure in the environment must not exceed 4Pa
(4x10-5 bar). Provide adequate ventilation in the environment
for a safe operation of the cooker hood. Follow the local laws
applicable for external air evacuation.
Before connecting the model to the electricity network:
- Control the data plate (positioned inside the appliance)
to ascertain that the voltage and power correspond to the
network and the socket is suitable. If in doubt ask a qualified
electrician.
- If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced with
another cable or a special assembly, which may be obtained
direct from the manufacturer or from the Technical Assistance
Centre.
2. WARNING!
In certain circumstances electrical appliances may be a
danger hazard.
A) Do not check the status of the filters while the cooker
hood is operating.
B) Do not touch bulbs or adjacent areas, during or straight
after prolonged use of the lighting installation.
C) Flambè cooking is prohibited underneath the cooker
hood.
D) Avoid free flame, as it is damaging for the filters and a
fire hazard.
E) Constantly check food frying to avoid that the over-
heated oil may become a fire hazard.
F) Disconnect the electrical plug prior to any maintenance.
G) This appliance is not intended for use by young children
or infirm persons without supervision.
H) Young children should be supervised to ensure they do
not play with the appliance.
I) There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the
rangehood is used at the same time as appliances burning
gas or other fuels.
L) There is a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out in ac-
cordance with the instructions.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• Assembly and electrical connections must be carried out
by specialised personnel.
• Electric Connection:
The appliance has been manufactured as a class II, therefore
no earth cable is necessary.
The connection to the mains is carried out as follows:
BROWN =
L
line
BLUE =
N
neutral
If not provided, connect a plug for the electrical load
indicated on the description label. Where a plug is provided,
the cooker hood must be installed in order that the plug is
easily accessible.
An omnipolar switch with a minimum aperture of 3mm
between contacts, in line with the electrical load and local
standards, must be placed between the appliance and the
network in the case of direct connection to the electrical
network.
•
The minimum distance between the support surfaces of the
cooking pots on the cooker top and the lowest part of the
cooker hood must be at least 65 cm.
If a connection tube composed of two parts is used, the upper
part must be placed outside the lower part.
Do not connect the cooker hood exhaust to the same
conductor used to circulate hot air or for evacuating fumes
from other appliances generated by other than an electrical
source.
Before proceeding with the assembly operations, remove the
anti-grease filter(s) (Fig.2
G
) so that the unit is easier to handle.
In the case of assembly of the appliance in the suction version
prepare the hole for evacuation of the air.
Installation:
To properly install the hood, proceed as follows:
1. Fixing the cooker-hood to the lower part of a wall unit.
2. Select method of operation (extraction or re-circulation).
Fitting the cooker-hood to the lower part of a wall unit.
The appliance should be embedded into the wall unit or
another support. This process should be carried out by using
4 screws suitable for the kind of unit following the instructions
for the drilling of the holes as shown in (Fig.1).
Exhausting Version:
With this type of installation the appliance discharges the
vapours externally outside the main wall or an existing exhaust
conductor. A non inflammable Ø 150 mm mural telescopic
tube (acceptable standard) is necessary and should be
connected to the flange
B
supplied (Fig.4).
Filter Version:
To transform the exhausting version to a filter version cooker
hood, active carbon filters are required and you should ask for
them from your local supplier.
The active carbon filters purify the air that is recycled within
the environment.
