Use and maintenance
electrical source.
Before proceeding with the assembly operations, remove
the anti-grease filter(s) (Fig.4) 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
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 or filtration).
• Fixing 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 A which are suitable for
the type of cabinet, making holes in accordance with the
diagram shown in (Fig.2).
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. 3), 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.1A).
• 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 1B).
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).
- To prevent potential fire hazards, the anti-grease filters
should be washed a minimum of every 2 months (it is
possible to use the dishwasher for this task).
- After a few washes, the colour of the filters may change.
This does not mean they have to be replaced.
If the replacement and washing instructions are not
followed, the anti-grease filters may present a fire
hazard.
•The active carbon filters are used to purify the air which
is released back into the room.
The filters are not washable or re-usable and must be
replaced at least once every four months.
The active carbon filter saturation level depends on the
frequency with which the appliance is used, the type of
cooking performed and the regularity with which the anti-
grease filters are cleaned.
• Clean the cooker hood frequently, both inside and outside,
using a cloth which has been dampened with denatured
alcohol or neutral, non-abrasive liquid detergents.
• The light on the cooker hood is designed for use during
cooking and not for general room illumination. Extended
use of the light reduces the average duration of the bulb.
• 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.
