GENERALITÀ

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.
• This device must be connected to the supply network through either a plug fused 3A or hardwired to a 2 phase spur protected by 3A fuse.

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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Assembly and electrical connections must be carried out by specialised personnel.
• Wear protective gloves before proceeding with the installation.

• Electric Connection:

Note! Verify the data label placed inside the appliance:

• If the symbol☐ appears on the plate, it means that no earth connection must be made on the appliance, therefore follow the instructions concerning insulation class II.
• If the symbol☐ DOES NOT appear on the plate, follow the instructions concerning insulation class I.

Insulation class II

• The appliance has been manufactured as a class II, therefore no earth cable is necessary. The plug must be easily accessible after the installation of the appliance. If the appliance is equipped with power cord without plug, a suitably dimensioned omnipolar switch with 3 mm minimum opening between contacts must be fitted between the appliance and the electricity supply in compliance with the load and current regulations.
• The connection to the mains is carried out as follows:

BROWN = L line

BLUE = N neutral.

Insulation class I

This is a class I, appliance and must therefore be connected to an efficient earthing system.

- The appliance must be connected to the electricity supply as follows:

BROWN = L line

BLUE = N neutral

YELLOW/GREEN = ⏚ earth.

The neutral wire must be connected to the terminal with the N symbol while the YELLOW/GREEN, wire must be connected to the terminal by the earth symbol ⏻.

When connecting the appliance to the electricity supply, make sure that the mains socket has an earth connection. After fitting the ducted cooker hood, make sure that the electrical plug is in a position where it can be accessed easily. If the appliance is connected directly to the electricity supply, an omnipolar switch with a minimum contact opening of 3 mm must be placed in between the two; its size must be suitable for the load required and it must comply with current legislation.

• 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 48 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.5B) 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.

• We recommend the use of an air exhaust tube which has the same diameter as the air exhaust outlet hole. If a pipe with a smaller diameter is used, the efficiency of the product may be reduced and its operation may become noisier.

- ATTENTION! Remove screws "F" (Fig. 2) before plugging in the appliance. These screws fasten down the counterweight, required for opening the front panel, during transport of the appliance. The screws may be on one or both sides of the hood, depending on the version. A label, or possibly several, indicate the location of the screws (Fig.2A).

• There is a manual or electronic vent on the front of the appliance for increasing the extraction capacity.
• If the vent on the front of the appliance is manual, pull the panel outwards (Fig.3A).
• If the vent on the front of the appliance is electronic, press button D for about four seconds (Fig.17).

- Wall mounting:

• Mark the lower part of the back of the hood on the wall, Fig.4A (taking into account the minimum distance from the hob).
• Position the fixing template on the wall, making sure that the line coincides with the line previously made on the wall.
• Mark the fixing holes and cut them into the material (Fig.4B).

- Fasten the 7 rawl bolts and the 2 screws C without tightening them fully (Fig.4B).

- Position the appliance at the wall (Fig.6).

- Make sure the 2 levelling screws J are tightened (Fig.7).

- Align the appliance horizontally using the two levelling screws J (Fig.7).

- When you have done the above, open panel K (Fig.5) and remove the anti-grease filter (Fig.5B). It is now possible to fasten the hood on definitively by tightening screws C and D (Fig.6).

- For easy accessibility to the motor unit in the case of assistance, after having levelled and fixed the appliance definitively, we recommend that the brackets are removed (Fig.7A).

- When carrying out the fixing operations, use only screws and screw anchors suited to the type of wall (e.g. reinforced concrete, plasterboard etc.).

- If the screws and screw anchors are supplied with the appliance, make sure that they are suited to the type of wall to which the hood must be fixed.

- Installation of models without decorative ducts: Extractor hood

• Unclip the canopy M and remove the grille E (Fig.14A).

- Slide the top connector inside the lower duct and place this on the body (Fig.11).
- Pull out the top duct as far as the bracket and secure it using screws B (Fig.11).

- Filter version:

Attention!

- If you wish to turn your EXTRACTOR hood into a FILTER one, you need to contact your retailer to order either non-regenerative active carbon filters (Fig.5C) or regenerative active carbon filters (Fig.15). These are available as accessories.

- On request:

-The version with manual front vent can be equipped, on request, with an "ambient light". This function is activated by pressing button "D" (Fig.17) for about 4 seconds. To turn off the light, simply press and hold the same button for about 4 seconds.

USE AND MAINTENANCE

• We recommend that the cooker hood is switched on before any food is cooked. We also recommend that the appliance is left running for 15 minutes after the food is cooked, in order to thoroughly eliminate all contaminated air.

The effective performance of the cooker hood depends on constant maintenance; the anti-grease filter and the active

carbon filter both require special attention.

- The anti-grease filter is responsible retaining the grease particles suspended in the air, therefore it is subject to clogging with variable frequency according to the use of the appliance.

- To prevent the danger of possible fires, at least every 2 months one must wash the anti-grease filters by hand using non-abrasive neutral liquid detergents or in the dishwasher at low temperatures and on short cycles.

- After a few washes, colour alterations may occur. This does not give the right to claim their replacement.

- The active carbon filters are used to purify the air that is sent back into the room and its functions to mitigate the unpleasant odours produced by cooking.

- The non-regenerable active carbon filters must be replaced at least every 4 months. The saturation of the active charcoal depends on the more or less prolonged use of the appliance, on the type of kitchen and on the frequency with which anti-grease filter is cleaned.

- Regenerable active charcoal filters must be washed by hand, with non abrasive neutral detergents, or in the dishwasher at a maximum temperature of 65^ C (the washing cycle must be complete without dishware). Remove excess water without damaging the filter, remove the plastic parts, and let the mat dry in the oven for at least 15 minutes approximately at a maximum temperature of 100^ C. To keep the regenerable charcoal filter functioning efficient this operation must be repeated every 2 months. These must be replaced at least every 3 years or when the mat is damaged.

- Before remounting the anti-grease filters and the regenerable active charcoal filters it is important that they are completely dry.

- Clean the hood frequently, both internally externally, using a cloth dampened with denatured alcohol or neutral liquid detergents that are non abrasive.

- The lighting .system is designed for use during cooking and not for the prolonged general lighting of the room. The prolonged use of the lighting system significantly decreases the average duration of the bulbs.

- If the appliance is equipped with courtesy lights it is possible to use them for general room lighting for a prolonged amount of time.

- Attention: The non compliance with the hood cleaning warnings and with the replacement and cleaning of the filters entails risk of fires. One therefore recommends keeping to the suggested instructions.

- Replacing halogen light bulbs (Fig.16.1):

To replace the halogen light bulbs B, remove the glass pane C using a lever action on the relevant cracks. Replace the bulbs with new ones of the same type.

Caution: Do not touch the light bulb with bare hands.

- Replacing LED lamps (Fig.16.2):

If the appliance version is with LED lamps, the intervention of a specialised technician is necessary to replace them.
