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.
- This device must be connected to the supply network through
either a plug fused 3A or hardwired to a 2 fase spur protected
by 3A fuse.
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.
• Wear protective gloves before proceeding with the instal-
lation.
• Electric Connection:
- The appliance has been manufactured as a class II, therefore
no earth cable is necessary. The plug must be easily acces-
sible after the installation of the appliance. If the appliance
is equipped with power cord without plug, a suitably di-
mensioned omnipolar switch with 3 mm minimum opening
between contacts must be fitted between the appliance and
the electricity supply in compliance with the load and current
regulations.
- The connection to the mains is carried out as follows:
BROWN =
L
line
BLUE =
N
neutral.
•
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.5) 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.
•
We recommend the use of an air exhaust tube which has the
same diameter as the air exhaust outlet hole. If a pipe with a
smaller diameter is used, the efficiency of the product may be
reduced and its operation may become noisier.
• WARNING! Plastic spacer fitting:
This product may also be supplied with a plastic spacer
O
,
which should be fitted before the hood is installed (Fig.2A). Fix
the spacer to the hood using screws
P
(Fig.2A). To assemble
the unit correctly, align the front panel of the hood with the
wall cabinet and decide on the distance necessary to fill in
any space remaining between the hood and the wall. Once
the distance has been established, use a cutter to remove the
excess plastic (Fig.2A).
• Installation:
The following instruction should be followed to carry out the
correct installation of the cooker hood.
1. Mounting of the cooker hood on the lower side of the
cupboard.
2. Selection of the version (extraction or filtration).
- If your product is fitted with a connector flange, perform the
