WARNINGS
The present instruction manual is an integral part of the appliance itself,
therefore it must be carefully kept and ALWAYS accompany it, even in
case of its assignment to another owner or user or in case the cooker
hood is moved to another installation plant.
Any eventual adjustment to the electrical system, which may be
necessary to install the cooker hood, must be carried out only by
competent people. Any repair carried out by no competent people may
cause damages. For any repair or needed technical action make
reference to a Technical Assistance Center, which is authorized to carry
out the replacement of the spare parts.
Always make sure that all the electrical parts (lights, exhaustion unit)
are disconnected when the appliance is not in use.
By storms take off the main switch of the house electrical system.
The using of the cooker hood must not be other than the use of
exhausting units for cooking damps on domestic kitchens. The
manufacturer does not accept any liability for damages caused by
people, animals or things, by installation and maintenance mistakes or
by any illegitimate use.
Make sure that the voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) ratings indicated
on the plate inside the cooker hood correspond to the ones available in
the installation place.
We remind that the use of products functioning with electrical energy
implies the observance of some essential security rules, as follows:

This equipment is not intended for people (children included)
with reduced mental or motor capacities, with lack of experience
or knowledge, unless they are supervised or unless a person
responsible for their security, gives them instructions regarding
the use of the equipment. Children must be supervised in order
to be sure that they do not play with the equipment.
Any cleaning action is forbidden if the appliance hasn't been

disconnected from the main power supply and if the main switch
of the house electrical system is not off. If cleaning is not carried
out according to these instructions, a fire may break out.

Do not pull, take off or twist the cable coming out from the
appliance, even though this has been disconnected from the
main power supply.

Do not sprinkle or throw any water directly on the appliance.

Do not stick any sharp tool inside the exhausting holes and into
the air discharge.

Do not take out the filters in order to reach the internal sides of
the appliance in case the main switch of the house electrical
system is not off.

Do not singe or flambé directly underneath the cooker hood.
Take particular care when frying to ensure that the oil does not
catch fire

INSTALLATION

Read the instruction manual before installing and/or using the hood.
The unit must be fitted at a distance of at least 65 cm. from the cooking
hob. If the mounting instructions of the gas cooker indicate a wider
distance, respect it. The unit must not be mounted above cookers fitted
with top radiant plate.
Respect all the air discharge regulations.
The air must not be discharged in a pipe used to discharge exhaust
fumes produced by gas-fed equipments or fuel-fed equipments (this
does not apply to filtering hoods).
The room must be adequately ventilated when the hoods is used
together with other gas- fed or fuel-fed equipments.
For an easy access, it is advisable to move possible furniture under the
installation area.
Installation of the hood onto the wall.
The hood is equipped with all
installation, which are suitable for most surfaces. Anyway ask a
professional to verify that the installation surface is strong.
Installation must be carried out by qualified installers according to
present regulations.
First, provide for the installation of the speakers as shown in (Picture
4).
After having drawn and drilled the wall as in (Picture 2), use the
following fastenings for installation:

Blocking dowels (A)

Suspending and levelling dowels (B)
MOD. i-HOOD 230-240 Vac - 50 Hz
the necessary fastenings for its

Brackets and screws for fixing the chimney to the wall (C)

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

This equipment must be connected to a grounding plant. Two types of
electrical connection can be used:
Using a standard plug to be connected to the power cable and
1)
inserted in a mains socket which must be accessible (so that the
plug can be disconnected when servicing is carried out). Make
sure that the plug is accessible also after
installation of the equipment.
By means of a fixed mains connection, fitting a bipolar switch,
2)
which ensures the disconnection, with an opening distance of the
contacts allowing a complete disconnection on the conditions of
the overvoltage III category, according to installation regulations.
The ground connection (yellow-green wire) must not be
interrupted.
Refer to the plate inside the hood for the mains voltage and frequency
ratings.
USE
This cooker hood can be employed as exhausting or filtering.
Exhausting (external evacuation). Kitchen smokes are driven outside
through a flue joined to the exhaust pipe flue connector.
This pipe must not under any circumstances be connected to cooker,
boiler or burner exhaust pipes, etc.
Filtering (inside recycling). In this case it is essential to install the
activated carbon filters on the motor
charcoal filter (Picture 3 –D) to be cleaned and recycled in the kitchen
environment by means of holes (E) from which the purified air will come
out. These holes have to be free and communicating with the kitchen
environment.
In this case you should not install the exhaust pipe without curve.

OPERATION

VENTILATION
The hood is supplied with a multispeed motor.
The hood should be run at low speed under normal conditions and at
higher speeds only when there is a heavy build-up of fumes or odours.
Ideally, the hood should be switched on as soon as cooking is started
and then kept on until all odours have been eliminated.
The controls consist of these commands. Press
