Suction Cooker hood Description - Fig. 1- various models
- Vapour collector
- Suction grill
- Controls
- Light point
Use
The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting or filter version.
Note: the elements marked with the symbol (^*) are optional accessories supplied only with some models or elements to purchase, not supplied.
Ducting version
The hood is equipped with a top air outlet B1 and with a back air outlet B2 for discharge of fumes to the outside (exhaust pipe and pipe fixing clamps not provided). Fig. 2.1
Filtering version
In the case where it is not possible to discharge the cooking fumes and steam outside, the hood can be used in the filtering version, mounting 1 or 2 active carbon filters (^)
The fumes and steam are recycled into the kitchen. Fig. 2.2
The models with no suction motor only operate in ducting mode, and must be connected to an external suction device (not supplied).
Installation
The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking vessels 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 electrical tension must correspond to the tension noted on the label placed inside the cooker hood. Connect the electrical plug, where provided, to the an easily accessible outlet in conformity with local standards in force. Where an electrical plug is not provided (for direct connection to electrical network) place a standards approved bipolar switch with an aperture distance of not less than 3mm (accessible) from the contacts.
Attention: substituting the supply cable must be carried out by the authorised technical assistance service.
Mounting
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.
Before beginning installation:
- Remove the fats filter/s or the suction grill/s (depending on the model in possession -see also the relative paragraph). This/these is/are to be mounted once installation is completed.
- Remove the active carbon (*) 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.
- 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).
Choose the discharge outlet to use:
Only filtering version: use ONLY the upper B1 outlet (Fig. 2 - Fig. 2.2). Check that this, once installation is completed, is not obstructed and that there is sufficient space so that the purified fumes and steam can return easily into the kitchen.
Press with decision (Fig. 3.1) to take away the prefractured part (B1 or B2) that closes the discharge outlet and remove it.
Install the connection ring on the open discharge outlet (Fig. 3.2 bayonet embedded) or the deflector (^*) .(Fig. 3.3).
Check that the lateral wall units between which to install the hood are sufficiently robust for installing the hood.
Otherwise mount the hooking brackets on the wall (^) to use as additional supports:
a. Insert each bracket from the rear inside the hood through the apposite slots (Fig. 4.1—Fig. 4.2).
b. Fix the brackets with the screws and threaded bushes (Fig. 4.3).
Screw the headless screws halfway. They will serve to adjust the position of the hood at the moment of installation.
Note: the position of the brackets can be adjusted during installation, suitably loosening and retightening the screws that fix them to the hood. (Fig. 7 - S1-S2).
Installing the aesthetic panel (*)
a. Extract the steam collector (freeing it from the blocking hooks - Fig. 5).
b. Put perforation diagram N3 on the REAR of aesthetic panel J (the arrow on the diagram turned upward towards the UPPER EDGE of the aesthetic panel). Fig. 6
c. Make BLIND HOLES K as indicated. Fig. 6
d. Put the steam collector over the aesthetic panel and fix it with 8 screws L. Fig. 6
e. Remount the door on the hood, first on upper guides M1, then on the lower M2. Fig. 6
f. Close completely and re-open the door to check its correct sliding on the guides.
Installation
a. Use perforation diagram N2 () Position the diagram on the front edges of the wall unit (right wall unit, B side) - (left wall unit, C side) WITHOUT CONSIDERING THE THICKNESS OF THE DOORS, and make the holes as indicated. Fig. 8
b. If necessary, fix the hood to the wall, putting template N1 (^) on the wall so its upper edge coincides with the upper edge of template N2 (^) . Fig. 7-8
c. Make the holes as indicated. Fix 2 hooks (^) R to the wall with screws and dowels. Fig. 7
d. In case the thickness of the lateral wall units is 16mm put, with embedded fixing, the O (^) spacers at the sides of the hood in correspondence with the holes used for the passage of the fixing screws to the lateral wall units. Fig. 8.
e. Hang the hood onto the hooks () and adjust the position of the hood with headless screws S1 and adjusting the position of the hooking brackets with screws S2. Fig. 7
f. Fix the hood to the lateral wall units with 4 screws P. Fig. 8
g. Mount the lower corner Q () to the hood with two screws and plastic washers T. They will serve to cover possible spaces between the rear of the hood and the wall. Fig. 7
Operation
Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen vapours. It is recommended that the cooker hood suction is switched on for 5 minutes prior to cooking and to leave in operation during cooking and for another 15 minutes approximately after terminating cooking.
Use the keys or buttons envisaged for the control of the lights and the power of the available suction.
Only in some models: switching on and off the fan that adjusts the suction power and, in some cases, switching the lights on and off, is controlled by opening and closing the steam collector.
Maintenance
Prior to any maintenance operation ensure that the cooker hood is disconnected from the power supply.
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 standards of the cleaning of the cooker hood and replacement of the filters may cause fire risks.
Therefore we recommend observing these instructions.
Grease filter
Traps cooking grease particles.
If situated inside the support grill, it may be one of the following types:
Paper filter must be replaced once a month or if colouring appears on upper side, in such cases the colouring is evident through the grill openings.
Sponge filter should be washed with hot soapy water once a month and replaced every 5 to 6 washes.
Metallic filter must be cleaned once a month, with non abrasive detergents, by hand or in dishwasher on low temperature and short cycle.
When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolour slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.
To access fats filter V, open the suction grill with hooks H1 or H2 (depending on the model in possession) and free it from the W stops. Fig. 9
Some models are provided with anti-grease filter incorporated in the suction grill, these should be removed from the housing by pulling the handles H2 (Fig. 9) upwards and sliding out, wash these filters as with metallic filters.
Charcoal filter (filter version only)
It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.
The saturation of the activated charcoal occurs after more or less prolonged use, depending on the type of cooking and the regularity of cleaning of the grease filter.
In any case it is necessary to replace the cartridge at least every four months (or when the filter saturation indication system - if envisaged on the model in possession - indicates this necessity).
Cover the grill that protects the suction motor with the carbon filter so that the slots on the filter correspond to the pins on the sides of the motor protection grill.
Turn the carbon filter clockwise to block them (bayonet fixing).
Fig. 10
Proceed in reverse for mounting.
Note: 2 filters are needed in the models with 2 motors. The system of montage and dismantling is identical.
Replacing lamps
Disconnect the hood from the electricity.
Warning! Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are cooled down.
Remove the suction grill to access the lamp area.
Remove the damaged lightbulb and replace with an oval incandescent lightbulb max. 40W E14.
If the lights do not work, make sure that the lamps are fitted properly into their housings before you call for technical assistance.
Caution
Never use the hood without the grill mounted!
The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
The premises must have sufficient ventilation when the kitchen hood is used at the same time as other apparatuses that use gas and other fuels.
The sucked air must not be conveyed in a conduit used for discharging fumes produced by apparatuses fuelled by gas or other fuels.
Cooking food on the flame under the hood is severely prohibited.
The use of open flame damages the filters and can cause a fire; it must therefore be avoided in any case.
Frying must be carried out under control in order to prevent overheated oil catching fire.
Keep strictly to the regulations envisaged by the competent local authority as far as the technical and safety measures to adopt for discharging fumes are concerned.
The hood is to be cleaned frequently both internally and externally.
Failure to observe the regulations about cleaning the hood and substituting and cleaning the filters can lead to the risk of fire.
Any responsibility is declined for possible inconveniences, damage or fire caused to the apparatus deriving from failure to observe the instructions shown in this manual.
