GENERAL
Carefully read the following important information regarding installation safety and
maintenance. Keep this information booklet accessible for further consultations.
The appliance has been designed for use in the ducting version (air exhaust to the
outside - Fig.1B), filtering version (air circulation on the inside - Fig.1A).
SAFETY PRECAUTION
1. Take care when the cooker hood is operating simultaneously with an open fireplace
or burner that depend on the air in the environment and are supplied by other than
electrical energy, as the cooker hood removes the air from the environment which a
burner or fireplace need for combustion. The negative pressure in the environment
must not exceed 4Pa (4x10-5 bar). Provide adequate ventilation in the environment
for a safe operation of the cooker hood. Follow the laws applicable for external air
evacuation
Before connecting the model to the electricity network:
- Control the data plate (positioned inside the appliance) to ascertain that the
voltage and power correspond to the network and the socket is suitable. If in doubt
ask a qualified 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.
- This device must be connected to the supply network through either a plug fused
3A or hardwired to a 2 fase spur protected by 3A fuse.
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 overheated
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.
This appliance conforms to the European Directive EC/2002/96, Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE). By makingsure that this appliance is disposed of in a
suitable manner, the user is helping to prevent potential damage to the environment
or to public health. The symbol on the product or on the accompanying paperwork
indicates that the appliance should not be treated as domestic waste, but should
be delivered to a suitable electric and electronic appliance recycling collection
point. Follow local guidelines when disposing of waste. For more information on the
treatment, re-use and recycling of this product, please contact your local authority,
domestic waste collection service or the shop where the appliance was purchased.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
• Assembly and electrical connections must be carried out by specialised personnel.
• Wear protective gloves before proceeding with the installation.
Insulation class I
This is a class I, appliance and must therefore be connected to an eecient earthing
system.
- The appliance must be connected to the electricity supply as follows:
BROWN = L line
BLUE = N neutral
YELLOW/GREEN = earth.
The neutral wire must be connected to the terminal with the N symbol while the
YELLOW/GREEN, wire must be connected to the terminal by the earth symbol.
When connecting the appliance to the electricity supply, make sure that the mains
socket has an earth connection. After fitting the ducted cooker hood, make sure that
the electrical plug is in a position where it can be accessed easily. If the appliance
is connected directly to the electricity supply, an omnipolar switch with a minimum
contact opening of 3 mm must be placed in between the two; its size must be
suitable for the load required and it must comply with current legislation.
• 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. 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.7) so that the unit is easier to handle.
• 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 eciency
of the product may be reduced and its operation may become noisier.
• Fixing to the wall:
Make hole A respecting the shown dimensions (Fig.2). Fix device to wall and align
it horizontally with the cupboards. When the appliance has been adjusted, definitely
fix the hood using the screws A (Fig.5). For the various installations use screws and
screw anchor 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. Install the upper decorative flue’s support
bracket and fix it on the wall using the screws A (Fig.3) so it is in axis with your hood
and respecting the distance from the ceiling shown in Fig.2. Connect flange C to air
extraction hole via an air extraction pipe (Fig.5). Insert upper decorative flue inside
the lower decorative flue and rest them on top of 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 paragraph for installation of
the hood in ducting version. Connect air diverter M to bracket and fix it with screws
I as shown in Fig.4. The active charcoal filters must be applied to the suction unit
inside the hood, centring them in it and turning them 90° until they snap into place
(Fig.8).
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 eective
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.
