1. GENERAL
1.1 Carefully read the following important information regar-
ding installation safety and maintenance. Keep this informa-
tion booklet accessible for further consultations.
The appliance has been designed as a suction version
(external exhaust) or as a filter version (internal air recy
-
cle) cooker hood.
2. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 Electric Connection
The appliance has been manufactured as a class II, there
-
fore no earth cable is necessary.
The connection to the mains is carried out as follows:
BROWN = L line
BLUE = N neutral
If not provided, connect a plug for the electrical load indi
-
cated on the description label. Where a plug is provided,
the cooker hood must be installed in a way that the plug is
easily accessible.
An omnipolar switch with a minimum aperture of 3mm be
-
tween contacts, in line with the electrical load and local
standards, must be placed between the appliance and the
network in the case of direct connection to the electrical
network.
2.2
The appliance must be installed at a minimum height
of 650 mm for an electric cooker stove, or 750 mm for gas
or combined cooker stoves. If a connection tube com
-
posed 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.
2.3 Mounting the cooker hood
Regulate and fasten the telescopic structure for the
T
entrance indicated in fig.2, according to the indications
shown in fig.1, fixing the desired height and fasten it to the
hood with 4 screws
C
fig.2.
Thread the telescopic connections
E
and
F
fig.2 into the
telescopic structure
T
fig.2.
Drill 4 holes into the ceiling, following the figures indicated
in
Q
of the plate (P) fig.2, insert expansion plugs into the
holes, Fix plate (P) to the ceiling, Fix structure (T) to plate
(P) with four screws (Q1) Fig.2. Use screws and screw
anchors suitable for walls (e.g. reinforced cement, plaster
-
board) for the mounting of the cooker hood.
Where screws and screw anchors are supplied ensure
that they are suitable for the type of wall where the cooker
hood is to be mounted.
2.4 Suction Version
Connect the flange
Y
to the discharge opening with a con
-
necting tube (do not do this for the filter version).
In order to transform your cooker hood from suction ver
-
sion to filter version, ask your local retailer for active car
-
bon filters and then carry out instructions for mounting
filter version cooker hood.
2.5 Filter Version
Hang carbon filters.
The air is replaced in the environment via the eyelets im
-
pressed on the connector
E
.
3. USE AND MAINTENANCE
3.1
It is recommended to operate the appliance prior to
cooking.
It is recommended to leave the appliance in operation for
15 minutes after cooking is terminated in order to com
-
pletely eliminate cooking vapours and odours.
The proper function of the cooker hood is conditioned by
the regularity of the maintenance operations, in particular,
the active carbon filter.
3.2
The anti-grease filters capture the grease particles
suspended in the air, and are therefore subject to clogging
according to the frequency of the use of the appliance.
In order to prevent fire hazard, it is recommendable to
clean the filter at a maximum of 2 months by carrying out
the following instructions:
- Remove the filters from the cooker hood and wash them
in a solution of water and neutral liquid detergent, leaving
to soak.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water and leave to dry.
- The filters may also be washed in the dishwasher.
The aluminium panels may alter in colour after several
washes. This is not cause for customer complaint nor re
-
placement of panels.
3.3
The active carbon filters purify the air that is replaced
in the environment. The filters are not washable nor re-
useable and must be replaced at maximum every four
months. The saturation of the active carbon filter depends
on the frequency of use of the appliance, by the type of
cooking and the regularity of cleaning the anti-grease fil
-
ters.
3.4
Clean the fan and other surfaces of the cooker hood
regularly using a cloth moistened with denatured alcohol
or non abrasive liquid detergent.
4. SAFETY PRECAUTION
4.1 Take care when the cooker hood is operating simulta-
neously with an open fireplace or burner that depend on the
air in the environment and are supplied by other than electri-
cal energy, as the cooker hood removes the air from the en-
vironment which a burner or fireplace need for combustion.
The negative pressure in the environment must not exceed
4 Pa (4 x 10
–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.
4.2 WARNING!!
In certain circumstances electrical appliances may be a dan-
ger hazard.
A) Do not check the status of the filters while the cooker
hood is operating
B) Do not touch the light bulbs after appliance use
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 overheated
oil may become a fire hazard
F) Disconnect the electrical plug prior to any maintenance.
DISPOSAL OF OLD ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electri
-
cal and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old
household electrical appliances must not be disposed of
in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appli
-
ances must be collected separately in order to optimise the
recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and
reduce the impact on human health and the environment.
The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the
product reminds you of your obligation, that
when you dispose of the appliance it must
be separately collected. Consumers should
contact their local.
THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL RESPONSIBILITY
FOR EVENTUAL DAMAGES CAUSED BY BREACHING THE
ABOVE WARNINGS.
