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 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.
•
If the hob is electric, gas, or induction, the minimum distance
between the same and the lower part of the 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 con-
ductor 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.
•
If your appliance has been designed for use in habitations
supplied with acentralised suction device perform the fol-
lowing 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
posi-
tion, the valve closes after 100 seconds.
• Fixing to the wall:
Drill the holes
A
respecting the distances indicated (Fig.2). Fix
the appliance to the wall and align it in horizontal position
to the wall units. When the appliance has been adjusted,
definitely fix the hood using the screws
A
(Fig.4). For the
various installations use screws and screw anchors suited to
the type of wall (e.g. reinforced concrete, plasterboard, etc.). If
the screws and screw anchors are provided with the product,
check that they are suitable for the type of wall on which the
hood is to be fixed.
• Fixing the decorative telescopic flue:
Arrange the electrical power supply within the dimensions of
the decorative flue. If your appliance is to be installed in the
ducting version or in the version with external motor, prepare
the air exhaust opening. Adjust the width of the support bra-
cket of the upper flue (Fig.3). Then fix it to the ceiling using the
screws
A
(Fig.3) in such a way that it is in line with your hood
and respecting the distance from the ceiling indicated in Fig.2.
Connect the flange
C
to the air exhaust hole using a connection
pipe (Fig.4). Insert the upper flue into the lower flue and rest
above the frame. Extract the upper flue up to the bracket and
fix it with the screws
B
(Fig.3). To transform the hood from a
ducting version into a filtering version, ask your dealer for the
charcoal filters and follow the installation instructions.
• Filtering version:
Install the hood and the two flues as described in the pa-
ragraph for installation of the hood in ducting version. To
assemble the filtering flue refer to the instructions contained
in the kit. If the kit is not provided, order it from your dealer
as accessory. The filters must be applied to the suction unit
positioned inside the hood. They must be centred by turning
them 90 degrees until the stop catch is tripped (Fig.6).
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 main-
tenance; 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.
- Regenerable active charcoal filters must be washed by hand,
with non abrasive neutral detergents, or in the dishwasher at
a maximum temperature of 65°C (the washing cycle must be
complete without dishware). Remove excess water without
damaging the filter, remove the plastic parts, and let the
mat dry in the oven for at least 15 minutes approximately at
a maximum temperature of 100°C. To keep the regenerable
