Use
The hood may be used in 2 ways:
— external exhausting version
— internal recycle version
External exhausting system
The air is expelled outside by means of
a pipe to be connected to the coupling
flange A (fig 1).
Connecting the exhausting pipe
The coupling ring A has a diameter of
120mm.
We suggest to use Ø 120 mm exhausting
pipe.
Recycling version (filtering)
The air is purified by means of a carbon filter
and then returned to the room.
The active carbon filter can be ordered from
the supplier.
To install the filter, proceed as follow:
fit the filter into its seat and fix with the two
hooks C (fig. 2).
The filtered air is discharged above the top
cabinet.
The baffle plate D (fig. 1) can be fitted to the
outlet hole using the screws supplied.
Installation
When installed, the hood must be not less
than 42 cm. above electric burners or 65
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 external exhaust (suction)
type.
— The best performances are obtained with
short pipes (max. 4 m) and with few
curves.
Electric connection
Before completing any connection, make
sure the house voltage corresponds with
the voltage indicated on the label affixed
inside the hood.
The hood is supplied with a standard plug;
connect it to a correspondingly standard
socket.
In the case is intended to connect the
appliance permanently to the mains after
having removed the plug supplied, must be
fitted a two-pole switch conforming to
regulations with an opening distance
between contacts of not less than 3mm.
The manufacturers are not liable for any
problems caused by the user’s failure to
observe the above instructions.
