Use
The hood may be used as follows:
Exhaust mode
In this case the fumes are conveyed outside
by means of a special pipe connected with
the coupling flange A, placed in the outlet
hole (Fig. 1).
Choosing the exhausting pipe
The coupling flange A has a diameter of
120mm.
We suggest to use Ø 120 mm exhausting
pipe.
Recirculation mode
— The air is purified through an active
carbon filter and returned to the room.
— The use of an active carbon filter is
necessary when an exhaust pipe to the
exterior is not available, or when it is not
possible to install this type of pipe.
In the case of the internal recycle version
proceed as follows:
a. Request an active carbon filter suitable
for this model from your supplier.
b. Pull-out the extractable drawer.
c. Remove the inlet grid turning the locks B
and pull it out downwards (Fig. 2).
d. Mounting the active carbon filter
— Fit the carbon filter as a cover of the
plastic grid that covers the fan housing,
than turn it in the clockwise direction until
the filter is locked in place.
e. Refit the inlet grid.
f. The filtered air is discharged above the
cupboard through a pipe of Ø 120mm
which goes through the cupboard.
Installation
When installed, the hood must be not less
than 65 cm. above electric burners or 75
cm. above gas or mixed-fuel burners.
Warning!
— The hood cannot be connected to flues of
other appliances that run on energy
sources other than electricity.
— When the hood is used at the same time of
other appliances that run on energy sources
other than electricity, provision must be made
for an adequate supply of air.
— No food must be cooked flambé
underneath the hood.
The use of an unprotected flame is
dangerous for the filters and could cause
fires.
Therefore, never use an open flame under
the hood. When frying foods, never leave
the pan alone because the cooking oil
could flare up.
— Please, keep to the provisions of official
directives regarding the question of fume
discharge.
— The manufacturers refuse to accept any
responsibility for damage to the hood or
its catching on fire because of failure to
observe the above instructions.
Suggestions for the installation and
use of the hood
— The horizontal sections of the pipe must
be slanted slightly downwards (about
10%) to ensure the condensed vapour
not to come back on the motor of the
hood.
— The best performance of the unit is
obtained in the exhaust mode, therefore
in the limits of the possibilities it is advised
to use the exhaust mode.
— The best performances are obtained with
short pipes (max. 4 m) and with few
curves.
