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.
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
accordance with the instructions.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• Assembly and electrical connections must be carried out
by specialised personnel.
• Wear protective gloves before proceeding with the
installation.
• Electric Connection:
- The appliance has been manufactured as a class II, therefore
no earth cable is necessary. The plug must be easily accessible
after the installation of the appliance. If the appliance is equip-
ped with power cord without plug, a suitably dimensioned
omnipolar switch with 3 mm minimum opening between con-
tacts 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 (Fig.3). 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.8/9)
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.
• Installation:
Attention:
should the lamps not work, make sure they are
well tightened.
• Mounting of the hood between two hanging cupboards:
Drill 2 holes of 2,5 mm diameter on the side of the hanging
cupboards as showed in the Fig.4 considering also the thick-
ness of the front panel, so that the hood remains at the same
level of the side hanging cupboards.
Fix the hood to the hanging cupboards through 4 screws,
which are appropriate to that kind of cupboard.
Close the room, which eventually remains between the hood
and the wall adjusting the spacer (
L
) by acting on the appro-
priate screws (
P
) Fig.4.
• Mounting of the hood on the wall:
Drill 6 holes on the wall as showed in Fig.5. Fix the spacer (
L
)
on the wall at the right height, according to the depth of the
hanging cupboards Fig.5. Adjust the position of the superior
clamps (
M
) Fig.5, according to the depth of the side hanging
cupboards. Fix the hood on the wall through 4 screws and
dowels with expanding plug , which are appropriate to that
kind of wall (ex. concrete, plasterboard, etc.). Fix the hood to
the spacer through the screws (
P
) Fig.4.
• Fixing of the front panel:
Take off the door (
E
) by removing the grill (
G
) and pulling
at the same time the special spring locking knobs (
H
) Fig.7.
Fix the door on the front panel through the screws at the level
indicated in Fig.7.
Replace the door by inserting it in the upper and lower slides
until the spring locking knobs (
H
) are released.
• 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
B
(Fig.1).
Remove the charcoal filters already fitted to the appliance by
turning them 90° anticlockwise (Fig.10).
•
Recirculation:
The clean air is returned into the room through a connecting
tube passing inside the cupboard and connected to the ring
B
(Fig.2).
The charcoal filters are already fitted to the appliance.
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 used to trap any grease particles
suspended in the air, therefore is subject to saturation (the
time it takes for the filter to become saturated depends on
the way in which the appliance is used).
The acrylic filter, which is found resting on the grille, should
be replaced when the text, visible through the grille, changes
colour and the ink spreads; the new filter should be fitted in
such a way that the text can be seen through the grille from
outside the cooker hood.
