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. 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 inside the cooker hood
correspond to the ones available in the installation
place. 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.
1. INSTALLATION
Read the instruction manual before installing and/or using
the hood.
Range hoods and other cooking fume extractors may
adversely affect the safe operation of appliances burning
gas or other fuels (including those in other rooms) due
to the back flow of combustion gases. These gases
can potentially result in carbon monoxide poisoning.
After installation of a range hood or other cooking fume
extractor, the operation of flued gas should be tested
by a competent person to ensure that back flow of
combustion gases does not occur.
In order that the minimum distance between the
supporting surface for the cooking pots on gas hob
and low-voltage components present in the hood is at
least 65cm as required by the regulations in force, it is
necessary that the lower part of the hood is at least 65-
70cm away from the work top.
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
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-fed or
fuel-fed equipment.
The hood is equipped with all the necessary fastenings
for its installation, which are suitable for most surfaces.
Anyway, ask to a professional to verify that the installation
surface is strong enough. Installation must be carried out
by qualified installers according to present regulations.
For an easy access, it is advisable to move possible
furniture under the installation area.
Two different wall-mounting systems are used,
depending on the model (Fig. 1-2)
A) Hanging and leveling brackets.
B) Locking screws.
C) Hood/chimney fastening screws (if provided)
D) Chimney/wall bracket and fastening screws.
2. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
This appliance must be connected to an earthed power
supply. 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.
