Frequently Asked Questions - Lipari IX/LX/A Turbo air

What is the minimum distance between the hood and the hob?

For electric hobs, the minimum distance is 50 cm; for gas or mixed hobs, it is 65 cm. Follow the instructions of your cooking appliance if a greater distance is specified.

How to install the hood in recycling mode?

Install an active charcoal filter (not supplied with all models) and a deflector F on bracket G. Connect an exhaust hose to the upper air outlet B and to the deflector. The fumes are recycled through the upper grille H.

How to clean the metal grease filter?

Remove the filter by pulling its spring handle. Clean it once a month with a mild detergent, by hand or in a dishwasher at low temperature and short cycle. The dishwasher may discolor the filter without affecting its efficiency.

How to replace halogen lamps?

Unplug the hood. Use a small screwdriver to unclip the cover. Replace with a halogen lamp 12V - 20W max - G4. Avoid touching the lamp with bare hands. Snap the cover back into place.

How often should the charcoal filter be changed?

For a washable charcoal filter, clean it every 2 months and replace the pad every 3 years. For a non-washable filter, replace it every 3 to 4 months.

Can I use the hood without the grease filter?

No, the hood must never be used without the grille and grease filter properly installed. This poses a fire hazard and damages the motor.

What to do if the hood lighting does not work?

First check that the lamps are properly seated in their housing. If defective, replace them with identical halogen bulbs. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

How to install the hood in external evacuation version?

Connect the upper air outlet B to an exhaust duct leading outside (equivalent diameter, not supplied). Remove the charcoal filter if present. Use fixing clamps to secure the connection.

What is the recommended diameter for the exhaust duct?

The duct diameter must be equivalent to that of the air outlet of the hood. Using a smaller diameter reduces suction performance and increases noise.

How to clean the exterior of the hood?

Use a damp cloth with a neutral liquid detergent. Do not use alcohol or abrasive products. Clean regularly to avoid fire risks.

filter(s) when necessary to maintain a good grease filter efficiency. Use the maximum diameter of the ducting system indicated in this manual to optimize efficiency and minimize noise.

Use

The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting or filter version.

Ducting version

The hood is equipped with a top air outlet B for discharge of fumes to the outside (exhaust pipe and pipe fixing clamps not provided). Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connection flange). Using the tubes and discharge holes on walls with smaller dimensions will cause a diminution of the suction performance and a drastic increase in noise.

Any responsibility in the matter is therefore declined.

Attention! If the hood is supplied with carbon filter, then it must be removed.

Filter version

Should it not be possible to discharge cooking fumes and vapour to the outside, the hood can be used in the filter version, fitting an activated carbon filter and the deflector F on the support (bracket) G, fumes and vapours are recycled through the top grille H by means of an exhaust pipe connected to the top air outlet B and the connection ring mounted on the deflector F (exhaust pipe and pipe fixing clamps not provided).

Attention! If the hood is not supplied with carbon filter, then it must be ordered and mounted.

The models with no suction motor only operate in ducting mode, and must be connected to an external suction device (not supplied).

The connecting instructions are supplied with the peripheral suction unit.

Installation

The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking equipment on the hob and the lowest part of the range hood must be not less than 50cm from electric cookers and 65cm from gas or mixed cookers.

If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to.

Electrical connection

The mains power supply must correspond to the rating indicated on the plate situated inside the hood. If provided with a plug connect the hood to a socket in compliance with current regulations and positioned in an accessible area, after installation. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not located in an accessible area, after installation, apply a double pole switch in accordance with standards which assures the complete disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to over-current category III, in accordance with installation instructions.

Warning! Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains supply and checking the efficient function, always check that the mains cable is correctly assembled.

Mounting

The hood is supplied in two versions: model for installation to the wall and model for installation to the ceiling.

Before beginning installation:

• Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the chosen installation area.
• Remove the charcoal (*) filter/s if supplied (see also relative paragraph). This/these is/are to be mounted only if you want to use the hood in the filtering version.
• Check (for transport reasons) that there is no other supplied material inside the hood (e.g. packets with screws (*), guarantees (*), etc.), eventually removing them and keeping them.
• If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to rear wall/ceiling. Otherwise put a thick, protective covering over countertop, cooktop or range to protect from damage and debris. Select a flat surface for assembling the unit. Cover that surface with a protective covering and place all canopy hood parts and hardware in it.
• In addition check whether near the installation area of the hood (in the area accessible also with the hood mounted) an electric socket is available and it is possible to connect a fumes discharge device to the outside (only suction version).
• Carry out all the masonry work necessary (e.g. installation of an electric socket and/or a hole for the passage of the discharge tube).

Expansion wall plugs are provided to secure the hood to most types of walls/ceilings. However, a qualified technician must verify suitability of the materials in accordance with the type of wall/ceiling. The wall/ceiling must be strong enough to take the weight of the hood. Do not tile, grout or silicone this appliance to the wall. Surface mounting only.

1. Adjust the extension of the support structure of the hood. The final height of the hood depends on this adjustment.
   Note: In some cases the upper section of the trellis is fixed to the lower section with 1 or more screws. Check and remove them temporarily to allow the adjustment of the support structure.

2. Fix the two sections with a total of 16 screws (4 per corner).

Apply 1 or 2 brackets as reinforcement for extensions greater than the minimum (on the basis of what is envisaged as equipment).

Note: 1 bracket can already be fixed to the trellis temporarily with 2 screws during transport. Move it into the desired position or complete fixing it with 6 additional screws, as follows:

a. Slightly stretch the brackets to be fixed in order to be able to apply them outside the structure.

b. Position the reinforcement bracket immediately above

the fixing point of the two sections of the structure and fix with a total of 8 screws (2 per corner).

Fix the second reinforcement bracket, if supplied, in a position midway between the first reinforcement bracket and the upper side of the trellis and fix with 8 screws (2 per corner).

Note: check that there is no obstacle to an easy fixing of the discharge tube (aspiration version) or the deflector (filtering version) in positioning the reinforcement bracket(s).

1. Hook the hood to the trellis and make sure that it is perfectly hooked up. Screw the 16 screws up (4 per corner) tightly to hook the hood to the trellis.

2. Apply the perforation diagram of the cooking top to the ceiling vertically (the centre of the diagram must correspond to the centre of the cooking top and the sides must be parallel to the sides of the cooking top – the side of the diagram with the word FRONT corresponds to the control panel side). Prepare the electrical connection.

3. Make holes as indicated (6 holes for 6 wall dowels - 4 dowels for hooking), and screw 4 screws into the external holes, leaving a space of about 1cm between the head of the screws and the ceiling.

4. Hook the trellis to the ceiling with 4 screws, see operation 4).

5. Screw the 4 screws up tightly.

6. Introduce and screw another 2 screws tightly into the holes for fixing the safety elements remaining free.

7. Introduce a discharge tube inside the trellis and connect to the connecting ring of the motor space (discharge tube and bands not supplied). The discharge tube must be long enough to reach the exterior (aspiration version) or the deflector (filtering version).

8. Only for filtering version: mount deflector F onto the trellis and fix it with 4 screws to the apposite bracket and finally connect the discharge tube to the connection ring placed on the deflector.

9. Connect the electricity to the domestic power. Power must be supplied only after the installation has been completed.

10. Put the nuts equipped with fixing hooks inside the sections of the upper and lower flues in correspondence with the rectangular slots. A total of 14 nuts should be mounted.

11. Couple the two upper sections of the flue to cover the trellis so that one of the slits present on the sections is placed on the same side of the command panel and the other on the opposite side.

Screw the two sections up with 8 screws (4 per side – also see the plan diagram for coupling the two sections).

1. Fix the upper flue set to the trellis near the ceiling with two screws (one per side).

2. Couple the two lower sections of the flue to cover the trellis using 6 screws (3 per side - also see the plan diagram for coupling the two sections).

3. Insert the lower section of the flue into the apposite housing to cover the motor space and the electrical connection box completely and fix with two screws from

inside the hood.

1. Apply the 2 tabs (supplied) to cover the fixing points of the sections of the lower flue (ATTENTION! THE TABS FOR THE LOWER FLUE ARE RECOGNISABLE BECAUSE THEY ARE NARROWER AND LESS DEEP).

The larger and deeper tabs are those to use for the upper flue and are to be cut to measure.

1. Supply the electrical power again acting on the central electrical panel and check the correct functioning of the hood.

1. Drawing a line on the wall with a pencil up to the ceiling, corresponding to the centre line, will make the installation operations easier.
2. Apply the perforation diagram to the wall: the vertical centre line printed on the perforation diagram should correspond to the centre line drawn on the wall. In addition, the lower edge of the perforation diagram corresponds to the lower edge of the hood.
3. Make holes as indicated on the template, insert the wall dowels and screw 2 screws into the upper holes, leaving a space of about 1 cm between the head of the screw and the wall.

Note: Always make the holes indicated on the template.

The upper 2 are for hooking the hood up while the lower holes (generally 1 central or more lateral) are for the definitive and safety fixing.

1. Apply flues support bracket „G“ to the wall touching the ceiling. Use the flues support bracket as a perforation diagram (the small slot in the support must coincide with the line previously drawn on the wall, if present), and mark two holes with a pencil. Make the holes and insert 2 dowels.
2. Fix the flues support bracket to the wall with 2 screws.
3. Hang the hood to the two upper screws (see installation phase 3).
4. Introduce and screw the screws (and washer(s)) up into the hole(s) for the definitive fixing (COMPULSORY!!). Then, having checked the setting of the hood, TIGHTEN ALL THE upper and lower SCREWS.

Note: the lower fixing points are visible removing the fats filters and they are at the sides and/or at the centre of the hood (after having removed the frame of the carbon filter, if present, in the latter case).

In any case, we recommend using the lateral holes, when available, to increase the stability of the hood.

1. Connect a tube (tube and bands for fixing not supplied, to be purchased) for discharging the fumes to the connection ring placed over the aspiration motor unit.

The other end of the tube should be connected to a device for expelling fumes on the outside of the hood in the aspiration version. If you want to use the filtering

version, fix deflector F to flues support bracket G and connect the other end of the tube to the connection ring placed on deflector F.

9. Connect the electricity.

1. Apply the flues and fix them above with 2 screws (10a) to flues support bracket „G“ (10b).

2. Slide the lower section of the flue down to cover the aspiration set until inserting it completely into the apposite housing over the hood. Remount the carbon filter frame and the fat/s filter/s and check the perfect functioning of the hood.

Maintenance

ATTENTION! Before performing any maintenance operation, isolate the hood from the electrical supply by switching off at the connector and removing the connector fuse.

Or if the appliance has been connected through a plug and socket, then the plug must be removed from the socket.

Cleaning

The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly (at least with the same frequency with which you carry out maintenance of the fat filters) internally and externally. Clean using the cloth dampened with neutral liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive products. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!

WARNING: Failure to carry out the basic cleaning recommendations of the cooker hood and replacement of the

filters may cause fire risks.

Therefore, we recommend observing these instructions.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to the motor or any fire damage linked to inappropriate maintenance or failure to observe the above safety recommendations.

Grease filter

Traps cooking grease particles.

The grease filter must be cleaned once a month using non aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle. When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolour slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.

To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle.

Fig. 2

Charcoal filter (filter version only)

Fig. 3

It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.

The charcoal filter can be washed once every two months using hot water and a suitable detergent, or in a dishwasher at 65^ C (if the dishwasher is used, select the full cycle function and leave dishes out).

Eliminate excess water without damaging the filter, then remove the mattress located inside the plastic frame and put it in the oven for 10 minutes at 100^ C to dry completely. Replace the mattress every 3 years and when the cloth is damaged.

Remove the filter holder frame by turning the knobs (g) 90° that affix the chimney to the cooker hood.

Insert the pad (i) of activated carbon into the frame (h) and fit the whole back into its housing (j).

It is possible to use a traditional carbon filter, neither washable nor regenerable, to be replaced every 3 - 4 months.

The filter holder frame of the carbon filter is welded together; the eventual frame supplied with the hood is not, therefore, to be used.

Insert it into its housing and fix it turning the 2 plastic knobs.

Replacing lamps

Disconnect the appliance from the electricity.

Warning! Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are cooled down.

Replace the old light bulb with the one of the same type as specified in the feature label or near the light lamp on the hood. Fig. 4

1. Using a flat head screwdriver or equivalent tool, carefully pry loose the light cover.

2. Remove the damaged light and replace with a new 12 Volt, 20 Watt (Maximum) halogen light made for a G-4 base SUITABLE FOR USE IN OPEN LUMINAIRES. Follow package directions and do not touch new light with bare hands.

3. Reinstall the light cover. (it will snap shut).

If the lights do not work, make sure that the lamps are fitted properly into their housings before you call for technical assistance.
