- 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.
• If your appliance has been designed for use in habitations
supplied with acentralised suction device perform the
following operations:
- The switch controls opening and closure of a valve using
a thermoelectical device. By placing the switch in the ON
position, after a minute, the valve opens rotating 90° allowing
suction of the stale air. By placing the switch in the OFF
position, the valve closes after 100 seconds.
• 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 Fig.3A or filtration
Fig.3B).
• F ixing the hood to the lower part of the wall cabinet:
This type of appliance must be fitted inside a cabinet or
inside another type of support structure. To fix it in place, use
4 screws which are suitable for the type of cabinet, making
holes in accordance with the diagram shown in (Fig.1). To fit
the appliance correctly, align the front panel of the cooker
hood with the cabinet door and adjust spacer L using screws P
(Fig.2), then ensure the appliance meets the cabinet at the rear.
• Extraction through an outside wall:
The appliance expels the fumes through an outside wall or
a duct. It is necessary to buy a telescopic pipe in accordance
with the standards in use (inflammable) and connect it to
flange H (Fig.3A).
• Recirculation:
To transform the cooker hood from the extraction version to
the re circulating one ask your supplier for an activated carbon
filter. The filter must be fitted to the extracting group cooker
hood in the centre of the fan grille by twisting it by 90 degrees
until it is gripped securely (Fig.5). For this operation remove the
anti-grease filter(s) G (Fig.4). The clean air is returned into the
room through a connecting tube passing inside the cupboard
and connected to the ring H (Fig.3B).
USE AND MAINTENANCE
•
We recommend that the cooker hood is switched on before
any food is cooked. We also recommend that the appliance is
left running for 15 minutes after the food is cooked, in order
to thoroughly eliminate all contaminated air. The effective
performance of the cooker hood depends on constant
maintenance; the anti-grease filter and the active carbon filter
both require special attention.
• The anti-grease filter
is responsible retaining the grease
particles suspended in the air, therefore it is subject to
clogging with variable frequency according to the use of the
appliance.
- To prevent the danger of possible fires, at least every 2
months one must wash the anti-grease filters by hand using
non-abrasive neutral liquid detergents or in the dishwasher
at low temperatures and on short cycles.
- After a few washes, colour alterations may occur. This does
not give the right to claim their replacement.
• The active carbon filters are used to purify the air that is
sent back into the room and its function is to mitigate the
unpleasant odours produced by cooking.
- The non-regenerable active carbon filters must be replaced
at least every 4 months. The saturation of the active charcoal
depends on the more or less prolonged use of the appliance,
on the type of kitchen and on the frequency with which anti-
grease filter is cleaned.
• Before remounting the anti-grease filters and the
regenerable active charcoal filters it is important that they
are completely dry.
• Clean the hood frequently, both internally and
externally, using a cloth dampened with denatured
alcohol or neutral liquid detergents that are non abrasive.
• The lighting .system is designed for use during cooking
and not for the prolonged general lighting of the room. The
prolonged use of the lighting system significantly decreases
the average duration of the bulbs.
• If the appliance is equipped with courtesy lights it is possible
to use them for general room lighting for a prolonged amount
of time.
• Attention: the non compliance with the hood cleaning
warnings and with the replacement and cleaning of the filters
entails risk of fires. One therefore recommends keeping to the
suggested instructions.
• Replacing halogen light bulbs (Fig.6):
To replace the halogen light bulbs B , remove the glass pane C
using a lever action on the relevant cracks. Replace the bulbs
with new ones of the same type. Caution: do not touch the
light bulb with bare hands.

the device.
• Commands slider (Fig.9.1) the key symbols are explained

This hood is fitted with a microswitch which allows the
activation of the motor speed) through the opening of the
telescopic undercarriage. If the telescopic undercarriage is
closed the motor speeds cannot be activated. This microswitch
does not have an impact on the activation of the lights which
must be switched on through the appropriate switch (see
Fig.9A).
