INSTALLATION, OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR
RANGE HOODS DESIGNED FOR WALL FITTING 230 Vac • 50 Hz
Exhausting cooker hood
The equipment is constructed in accordance with
European Standards and with the requirements
included in the following Directives: 2006/95EC
(Low Voltage Directive), 2004/108 (Electromagnetic
Compatibility).
1. INSTALLATION
Read the instruction manual before installing and/or
using the hood.
Range hoods and other cooking fume extractors
may adversely affect the safe operation of appliances
burning gas or other fuels (including those in other
rooms) due to the back flow of combustion gases.
These gases can potentially result in carbon monoxide
poisoning. After installation of a range hood or other
cooking fume extractor, the operation of flued gas
should be tested by a competent person to ensure that
back flow of combustion gases does not occur.
In order that the minimum distance between the
supporting surface for the cooking pots on gas hob
and low-voltage components present in the hood is at
least 65cm as required by the regulations in force, it is
necessary that the lower part of the hood is at least 65-
70cm away from the work top.
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
equipment or fuel-fed equipment (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 equipment.
The hood is equipped with all the necessary fastenings
for its installation, which are suitable for most surfaces.
Anyway, ask to a professional to verify that the
installation surface is strong enough. Installation must
be carried out by qualified installers according to
present regulations.
For an easy access, it is advisable to move possible
furniture under the installation area.
Two different wall-mounting systems are used,
depending on the model (Fig. 1-2-3)
B) Locking screws.
C) Hood/chimney fastening screws (if provided)
2. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
This appliance must be connected to an earthed power
supply. Two types of electrical connection can be used:
1. Using a standard plug to be connected to the power
cable and 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 the complete installation of the
equipment.
2. By means of a fixed mains connection, fitting a
bipolar switch, which ensures the disconnection, with an
opening distance of the contacts allowing a complete
disconnection on the conditions of the over voltage
III category, according to installation regulations. The
ground connection (yellow-green wire) must not be
interrupted. For stationary appliances permanently
connected to the fixed wiring, compliance with this
requirement is considered to be met if the instruction
concerning disconnection incorporated in the fixed wiring
is in accordance with AS/NZS 3000
Refer to the plate inside the hood for the mains voltage
and frequency ratings.
3. USE
This cooker hood can be employed as exhausting or
filtering. Exhausting (Fig. 4). The carbon filters should not
be installed on the hood in exhausting version.
Kitchen smokes are driven outside through a flue joined
to the exhaust pipe flue connector.
Pipes must be communicating with the exterior of the
house. The diameter of the outlet of the hood is 150mm.
A 150-125 reduction is provided with the hood.
This pipe must not under any circumstances be
connected to cooker, boiler or burner exhaust pipes, etc.
Filtering (Fig. 5). The fumes pass through the carbon
filters to be purified and recycled into the kitchen through
a pipe connected to the outlet of the hood up to the
hole in the top of the cabinet. This hole must be free and
communicating with the kitchen.
In the filtering version you must install the two carbon
filters on the sides of the aspirator. To install the carbon
filters you must first remove the metal grease filters
(Fig. 6) and then install carbon filters by turning them
counterclockwise (Fig. 7).
