GENERAL

Carefully read the following important information regarding installation safety and maintenance. Keep this information booklet accessible for further consultations.

The appliance has been designed for use in the ducting version (air exhaust to the outside – Fig.1B), filtering version (air circulation on the inside – Fig.1A) or with external motor (Fig.1C).

SAFETY PRECAUTION

1. Take care when the cooker hood is operating simultaneously with an open fireplace or burner that depend on the air in the environment and are supplied by other than electrical energy, as the cooker hood removes the air from the environment which a burner or fireplace need for combustion. The negative pressure in the environment must not exceed 4Pa (4x10-5 bar). Provide adequate ventilation in the environment for a safe operation of the cooker hood.

Follow the local laws applicable for external air evacuation.

Before connecting the model to the electricity network:

- control the data plate (positioned inside the appliance) to ascertain that the voltage and power correspond to the network and the socket is suitable. If in doubt ask a qualified electrician.

If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced with another cable or a special assembly, which may be obtained direct from the manufacturer or from the Technical Assistance Centre.

2. WARNING!

In certain circumstances electrical appliances may be a danger hazard.

A) Do not check the status of the filters while the cooker hood is operating
B) Do not touch bulbs or adjacent areas, during or straight after prolonged use of the lighting installation.
C) Flambè cooking is prohibited underneath the cooker hood
D) Avoid free flame, as it is damaging for the filters and a fire hazard
E) Constantly check food frying to avoid that the overheated oil may become a fire hazard
F) Disconnect the electrical plug prior to any maintenance.
G) This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision
H) Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance
I) There shall be adequate ventilation of the room when the rangehood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Assembly and electrical connections must be carried out by specialised personnel.

• Electric Connection

The appliance has been manufactured as a class II, therefore no earth cable is necessary.

The connection to the mains is carried out as follows:

BROWN = L line

BLUE = N neutral

If not provided, connect a plug for the electrical load indicated on the description label. Where a plug is provided, the cooker hood must be installed in order that the plug is easily accessible.

An omnipolar switch with a minimum aperture of 3mm between contacts, in line with the electrical load and local standards, must be placed between the appliance and the network in the case of direct connection to the electrical network.

- 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.6) 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.

• 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 installations 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.

- If your appliance has been designed for use in habitations supplied with acentralised suction device perform the following operations:

-The switch controls opening and closure of a valve using a thermoelectical device. By placing the switch in the ON position, after a minute, the valve opens rotating 90° allowing suction of the stale air. By placing the switch in the OFF position, the valve closes after 100 seconds.

• 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 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 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. 7).

USE AND MAINTENANCE

• It is recommended to operate the appliance prior to cooking.
  It is recommended to leave the appliance in operation for 15 minutes after cooking is terminated in order to completely eliminate cooking vapours and odours.
  The proper function of the cooker hood is conditioned by the regularity of the maintenance operations, in particular, the active carbon filter.
• The anti-grease filters capture the grease particles suspended in the air, and are therefore subject to clogging according to the frequency of the use of the appliance. In order to prevent fire hazard, it is recommendable to clean the filter at a maximum of 2 months by carrying out the following instructions:
• Remove the filters from the cooker hood and wash them in a solution of water and neutral liquid detergent, leaving to soak.
• Rinse thoroughly with warm water and leave to dry.
• The filters may also be washed in the dishwasher.
  The aluminium panels may alter in colour after several washes. This is not cause for customer complaint nor replacement of panels.
• The active carbon filters purify the air that is replaced in the environment. The filters are not washable nor re-useable and must be replaced at maximum every four months. The saturation of the active carbon filter depends on the frequency of use of the appliance, by the type of cooking and the regularity of cleaning the anti-grease filters.
• Clean the fan and other surfaces of the cooker hood regularly using a cloth moistened with denatured alcohol or non abrasive liquid detergent.
• The illumination installation is designed for use during cooking and not for prolonged general illumination of the environment. Prolonged use of the illumination installation notably reduces the duration of the bulb.
• COMMANDS: (Fig.5) LUMINOUS the key symbols are explained below:

F = AUTOMATIC STOP TIMER - 15 minutes

- If your appliance does not have the INTENSIVE speed function, press key E for two 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 interrupt it before the 10 minutes have expired press key E again.

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 2^nd speed straight away. By pressing key B the function is deactivated).

• Active carbon/grease filter saturation:

- When button A flashes at a frequency of 2 seconds, the grease filters must be cleaned.

- When button A flashes at a frequency of 0.5 seconds, the carbon filters must be replaced.

After the clean filter has been replaced, the electronic memory must be reset by pressing button A for approximately 5 seconds, until the light on the button stops flashing.
