operations.
The appliance is not intended for use by children or persons
with impaired physical, sensorial or mental faculties, or if
lacking in experience or knowledge, unless they are under
supervision or have been trained in the use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Children
should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with
the appliance.
Never use the hood without
fitting the filters.
The hood must NEVER be used as a support surface unless
specifically indicated.
The premises where the appliance is installed must be
sufficiently ventilated, when the kitchen hood is used together
with other gas combustion devices or other fuels.
The ducting system for this appliance must not be connected
to any existing ventilation system which is being used for any
other purpose such as discharging exhaust fumes from
appliances burning gas or other fuels.
The flaming of foods beneath the hood itself is severely
prohibited.
The use of exposed flames is detrimental to the filters and
may cause a fire risk, and must therefore be avoided in all
circumstances.
Any frying must be done with care in order to make sure that
the oil does not overheat and ignite.
With regards to the technical and safety measures to be
adopted for fume discharging it is important to closely follow
the regulations provided by the authorities.
The hood must be regularly cleaned on both the inside and
outside (AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH).
This must be completed in accordance with the maintenance
instructions provided in this manual). Failure to follow the
instructions provided in this user guide regarding the cleaning
of the hood and filters will lead to the risk of fires.
Do not use or leave the hood without the lamp correctly
mounted due to the possible risk of electric shocks.

Use
The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting or filter
version.
Ducting version
The hood is equipped with a top air outlet
B
for discharge of
fumes to the outside (exhaust pipe and pipe fixing clamps not
provided).
Fig. 1
Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a
diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connection flange).
Using the tubes and discharge holes on walls with smaller
dimensions will cause a diminution of the suction performance
and a drastic increase in noise.
Any responsibility in the matter is therefore declined.
Filtering version
In the case where it is not possible to discharge the cooking
fumes and steam outside, the hood can be used in the
filtering
version
, mounting 1 or 2 active carbon filters (*).
The fumes and steam are recycled into the kitchen.
Fig. 2
The models with no suction motor only operate in ducting
mode, and must be connected to an external suction device
(not supplied).
The connecting instructions are supplied with the peripheral
suction unit.
Installation
Fig. 3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11
