B TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

The technical specifications of the appliance are shown on the rating plates located inside the cooker hood. C INSTALLATION (Section reserved for qualified installers of the cooker hood) The distance between the hob and the lowest part of the kitchen cooker hood cannot be smaller than X=65 cm. Should the instructions of the gas hob specify a greater distance, take this

into consideration. In the outside suction version, the diameter of the fume discharge duct must be no smaller than the cooker hood connection. We recommend using pipes with 150 mm diameter. If using pipes with 120 mm diameter, install attached “reducer (150-120 mm)” to the discharge hole of the cooker hood. When screwing or installing the metallic duct to the wall which metal lath, wire lath or metal plate is lined, do not let them come in contact with metal part. Otherwise, it may cause electric leakages or fires. In the horizontal sections, the duct must slope slightly (around 10%) upwards, so at to better convey the air outside of the room. The duct must be installed not to bend it in the immediate vicinity of the discharge hole. Otherwise, the return valve will get stuck with the duct, and will not work for the exhaust properly. Reduce curves to the bare minimum, and check that the length of the ducts is also the bare minimum. Comply with the current regulations on air discharge into the atmosphere. If other appliances that use gas or other fuels are being used at the same time (boiler, stove, fireplaces, etc.), make sure the room where the fumes are extracted is well ventilated, in compliance with the current regulations. Assembly instructions: see section “K” of the booklet.

D ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

(Section reserved for qualified installers) WARNING! Before doing any work inside the cooker hood, disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply. Check that the wires inside the cooker hood are not disconnected or cut; if this is the case, contact your nearest service centre. The electrical connections must be performed by qualified personnel. The connections must be performed in compliance with the legal standards in force. Check that the relief valve and the electrical system are able to support the load of the appliance (see the technical specifications in point B). This appliance is supplied with a cable without plug. Standardized plugs must be used, keeping in mind that: - the yellow-green wire must be used for the earth, - the blue wire must be used for the neutral, - the brown wire must be used for the phase; the cable must not come into contact with hot parts (over 70°C). - fit a plug that is suitable for the load to the power cable, and connect it to a suitable power outlet.

E HOOD VERSION WITH EXTERNAL EXHAUST

In this version the kitchen fumes and vapours are conveyed outside through an exhaust pipe. The exhaust conveyor that protrudes from the upper part of the hood must be connected with the pipe that conducts the fumes and vapours in an external output. In this version, charcoal filters supplied on the hoods must not be used. When the kitchen hood is used simultaneously with other appliances that use gas or other fuels, the room must have sufficient ventilation according to the standards in force.

Deviation for Germany: When the cooker hood and appliances supplied with energy other than electricity are simultaneously in operation, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 4 Pa (4x10 E-5 bar).

F HOOD VERSION WITH INTERNAL

RECIRCULATION (filtering) In this model, the area passes through the charcoal filters to be purified and is then introduced into the kitchen environment. To mount the filters, refer to section H2. For maximum efficiency, the third speed should be used when there are strong odours or a lot of steam, the second speed in normal conditions, and the first speed for keeping the air clean with minimum energy consumption. The cooker hood should be switched on when starting to cook, and left on until the odours disappear. Key 1: Timer/Filter alarm The BLUE fix light indicates that the grease filter alarm is active (after 30 hours); to deactivate this alarm and reset the hour meter, press the button for 3 seconds. BLUE flashing light indicates that the timer function is active. This function can be activated only if the motor is already active with any speed when the key is pressed (prolonged pressure or not). This function activates the auto power off function of the cooker hood after 15 minutes with the active Timer function, the cooker hood can be turned off by the user and the function will be disabled. The Timer function remains associated to a speed. The speed change with the active timer function determines its deactivation. Key 2: 1st Speed +On/Off motor A slight pressure of the key activates the hood at the first speed and the relative LED. When the LED is on and the key is pressed, both the LED and MOTOR will turn off. When the LED is off, if the key is pressed for at least 3sec, the recirculation function activates. During the recirculation function (which lasts 24 hours), the LED flashes. From the activation of this function, the cooker hood will remain active for 1 hour at 1st speed, then it will stop for 3 hours and reactivate for another hour. These cycles are repeated until timeout. With activation of this function, other speeds may not be selected. To deactivate this function, keep key 2 pressed for at least 3 seconds. Key 3: 2nd Speed If the LED is off and another speed is active, press the key (slightly or prolonged) to select the 2nd speed, turn the relative LED on and turn the LED associated to the previously selected speed off. If the LED is off and no speed is active, the key is disabled. When the LED is on, key 3 is disabled. To turn off the cooker hood, select the first speed and press that key again.

Key 4: 3rd Speed If the LED is off and another speed is active, press the key (slightly or prolonged) to select the 3rd speed, turn the relative LED on and turn the LED associated to the previously selected speed off.

To order new charcoal filters, contact your distributor/dealer.

LED SPOTLIGHT ILLUMINATION

The cooker hood is equipped with high efficiency, low consumption LED spotlights with extremely long duration under normal use conditions. LED spotlight replacement must be carried out only by qualified technicians using only original spare parts.

J MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Constant maintenance ensures the correct operation and efficiency of the appliance over time. Special attention should be paid to the metal grease-trapping filters and the charcoal filters. Frequent cleaning of the filters and their supports will ensure that fats and grease do not accumulate on the cooker hood, with the consequent risk of fire.

1. METAL GREASE-TRAPPING FILTERS

These trap the fat and grease particles suspended in the air, and therefore should be washed every month in hot water and detergent, without bending them. Wait until they are completely dry before repositioning them. To remove and replace these filters, see the instructions in point H1. This operation should be performed at regular intervals.

2. CHARCOAL FILTERS

These trap the odours present in the stream of air that passes through them. The air is purified by passing a number of times through the filters and being recirculated into the kitchen. The charcoal filters cannot be cleaned, and should be replaced on average every 3-4 months (according to use). To replace the charcoal filters, see the instructions in point H2.

3. CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE

It is advised to clean the external hood surfaces at least every 15 days in order to avoid that oily or greasy substances affect the steel surfaces. The outside of the cooker hood should be cleaned using a damp cloth and neutral liquid detergent or denatured alcohol. In case of fingerprint-less finish (fasteel) clean only with water and neutral soap using clean with a soft cloth, rinse and wipe dry thoroughly. Do not use products that contain abrasive substances or cloths NOT specifically designed for cleaning steel. Using abrasive substances or rough cloths will inevitably damage the finish of steel. The steel surface will be irrevocably damaged if the instructions above are not complied with. Keep these instructions together with the instructions for use of your hood. The manufacturer accepts no liability for any damage caused by non-compliance with the instructions above.

4. CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE

The electrical parts or parts of the motor assembly inside the cooker hood must not be cleaned using liquids or solvents. Do not use abrasive products. All the above operations must be performed after having disconnected the appliance from the mains power supply. There is a fire risk if cleaning is not carried out in accordance with the instructions.
