1) Light switch
2) Motor switch
3) Work surface lamp
4) Metal filter/Inlet grid
Use
The hood may be used as follows:
Exhaust mode
The air is conveyed out through a pipe
which is connected to the outlet hole A (fig.
2) by means of a coupling flange B.
Choosing the exhausting pipe
The coupling ring B has a diameter of
120mm.
The air must be vented out by means of a
pipe with an internal diameter of 120mm.
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 recirculation mode proceed
as follows:
a) Request an active carbon filter suitable
for this model from your supplier.
b) Remove the grill by turning knob C (fig.
3).
c) Place the filter on its seat (fig. 4) and
rotate in clockwise until it stops.
d) Refit the grid.
In this version vapour and fumes will be
exhausted on the top of the cupboard where
the hood will be mounted through an exhaust
pipe with an internal diameter of 120 mm.
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 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
