Installation
The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the
cooking vessels on the hob and the lowest part of the range
hood must be not less than 65cm from electric cookers and
75cm from gas or mixed cookers.
If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a
greater distance, this must be adhered to.
Electrical connection
The mains power supply must correspond to the rating
indicated on the plate situated inside the hood. If provided with
a plug connect the hood to a socket in compliance with current
regulations and positioned in an accessible area. If it not fitted
with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not
located in an accessible area apply a bi-polar switch in
accordance with standards which assures the complete
disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to over-
current category III, in accordance with installation instructions.
Warning! Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains
supply and checking the efficient function, always check that
the mains cable is correctly assembled.
Mounting
Expansion wall plugs are provided to secure the hood to most
types of walls/ceilings. However, a qualified technician must
verify suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of
wall/ceiling. The wall/ceiling must be strong enough to take
the weight of the hood.
Do not tile, grout or silicone this
appliance to the wall. Surface mounting only.
This hood is designed for fitting in a cabinet or on some other
support.
Carry out the following instructions for affixing the cooker hood:
Create an opening in the bottom of the cabinet to insert the
cooker hood, and drill a hole on the top of the cabinet to fit the
discharge tube, connect the cooker hood to an external pipe,
predispose the electrical connection, remove the grill or the
anti-grease filter, remove the frame
C (if provided) by pressing
on the two release hooks D (according to the model in
possession, the release hook button D may be located
externally or inside the cooker hood below the grease filter /
grill), insert the cooker hood in the opening (lock in the lateral
clasps
E if provided by tightening the locking screws F ), finally
fix the cooker hood to the cabinet with wood screws G
supplied. Remount the frame C (if provided), and suction grill
H .
Operation
The hood is fitted with a control panel with aspiration speed
selection control and a light switch to control cooking area
lights.
The switch is located on the side of the suction grill
H .
Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen
vapours. It is recommended that the cooker hood suction is
switched on for 5 minutes prior to cooking and to leave in
operation during cooking and for another 15 minutes
approximately after terminating cooking.
Maintenance
ATTENTION! Before performing any maintenance operation,
isolate the hood from the electrical supply by switching off at
the connector and removing the connector fuse.
Or if the appliance has been connected through a plug and
socket, then the plug must be removed from the socket.
Cleaning
The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly (at least with the
same frequency with which you carry out maintenance of the
fat filters) internally and externally. Clean using the cloth
dampened with neutral liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive
products.
DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!
WARNING: Failure to carry out the basic cleaning
recommendations of the cooker hood and replacement of the
filters may cause fire risks.
Therefore, we recommend oserving these instructions.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to
the motor or any fire damage linked to inappropriate
maintenance or failure to observe the above safety
recommendations.
Grease filter
Traps cooking grease particles.
If situated inside the support grill, it may be one of the
following types:
Paper filter must be replaced once a month or if colouring
appears on upper side, in such cases the colouring is evident
through the grill openings.
Sponge filter should be washed with hot soapy water once a
month and replaced every 5 to 6 washes.
Metallic filter must be cleaned once a month, with non
abrasive detergents, by hand or in dishwasher on low
temperature and short cycle.
When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolour
slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.

release hooks L and free from the supports K .
Some models are provided with a metallic filter M without
support grill , these should be washed as described above
and removed from their housing by pressing the N handles
towards the bottom.
