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 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 para-
graph for installation of the hood in ducting version. To as-
semble 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
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
the average duration of the bulbs.
• If the appliance is equipped with courtesy lights it is possible
to use them for general room lighting for a prolonged amount
of time.
• Attention: the non compliance with the hood cleaning
warnings and with the replacement and cleaning of the filters
entails risk of fires. One therefore recommends keeping to the
suggested instructions.
• Replacing halogen light bulbs (Fig.7):
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.
• Replacing the halogen/incandescent lamps (Fig.8):
Only use lamps of the same type and Wattage installed on
the device.
• Commands luminous (Fig.9) the key symbols are explained
below:
A = LIGHT
B = OFF
C = SPEED I
D = SPEED II
E = SPEED III
F = AUTOMATIC STOP TIMER - 15 minutes (*)
If your appliance has the INTENSIVE speed function, from
speed THREE, press key E for 2 seconds and it will be activated
for 10 minutes after which it will return to the previously set
speed. When the function is active the LED flashes. To inter-
rupt it before the 10 minutes have elapsed, press key E again.
Some models allow activating this function even with speed
one and two.
By pressing key F for two seconds (with the hood switched off)
the "clean air" function is activated. This function switches the
appliance on for ten minutes every hour at the first speed. As
soon as this function is activated the motor starts up at the
first speed for ten minutes. During this time key F and key
C must flash at the same time. After ten minutes the motor
switches off and the LED of key F remains switched on with
a fixed light until the motor starts up again at the first speed
after fifty minutes and keys F and C start to flash again for ten
minutes and so on. By pressing any key for the exclusion of
the hood light the hood will return immediately to its normal
functioning (e.g. if key D is pressed the "clean air" function is
deactivated and the motor moves to the 2nd speed straight
away. By pressing key B the function is deactivated).
(*) The "AUTOMATIC STOP TIMER" delays stopping of the
hood, which will continue functioning for 15 minutes at the
operating speed set at the time this function is activated.
• Anti-grease/active charcoal filters saturation:
- When the A key flashes with a 2 second frequency the anti-
grease filters must be washed.
- When the A key flashes with a 0.5 second frequency the
active carbon filters must be replaced or washed depending
on the type of filter.
Once the clean filter has been put back one must reset the
electronic memory by pressing the A key for approximately 5
seconds until it stops flashing.
