INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Assembly and electrical connections must be carried out
by specialised personnel.
• Wear protective gloves before proceeding with the instal-
lation.
• 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 equipped
with power cord without plug, a suitably dimensioned om-
nipolar 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.
• 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.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.
• 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 installa-
tions 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
bracket 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. Fix the lower flue to the hood using the screws B provided
(Fig.4), 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. 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 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 s 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 maxi-
mum temperature of 100°C. To keep the regenerable charcoal
filter functioning efficient this operation must be repeated
every 2 months. These must be replaced at least every 3 years
or when the mat is damaged.
• Before remounting the anti-grease filters and the regen-
erable active charcoal filters it is important that they are
completely dry.
• Clean the hood frequently, both internally and externally,
using a cloth dampened with denatured alcohol or neutral
liquid detergents that are non abrasive.
• The lighting .system is designed for use during cooking
and not for the prolonged general lighting of the room. The
prolonged use of the lighting system significantly decreases
