Use

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

Ducting version

In this case the fumes are conveyed outside of the building by means of a special pipe connected with the connection ring located on top of the hood.

Attention! The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be purchased apart.

Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the connection ring.

In the horizontal runs the exhausting pipe must be slightly slanted (about 10° ) and directed upwards to vent the air easily from the room to the outside.

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

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.

Use a duct of the minimum indispensable length. Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow angle: 90°). Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section. Use a duct with as smooth as possible inside. The duct must be made of certified material.

Filter version

One active charcoal filter is needed for this and can be obtained from your usual retailer.

The filter removes the grease and smells from the extracted air before sending it back into the room through the upper outlet grid.

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.

The hood is provided with a special power cable; if the cable is damaged, request a new one from Technical Service.

Mounting

This type of cooker hood must be fixed to the ceiling.

Very heavy product; hood handling and installation must be carried out by at least two persons.

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.

Additional Installation Specifications:

Use only the fixing screws supplied with the product for installation.

Use the correct length screws which are identified in the Installation Guide

WARNING! Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards.

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.

1 ON/OFF motor

Pressing the button, the hood turns on at speed 1. Pressing the button during functioning, the hood turns OFF.

Speed Timing

The timing of the speed is enabled by pressing key 4, once the timing expires the hood turns off.

The timing is subdivided as follows:

Speed 1 - 20 minutes (1 fixed, flashing point)

Speed 2 - 15 minutes (2 fixed, flashing point)

Speed 3 - 10 minutes (3 fixed, flashing point)

Intensive Speed - 5 minutes (4 fixed, flashing point)

During time-running, if key 1 or 4 is pressed, the hood turns off; if key 2 is pressed, the hood stops time-running and sets to the selected speed.

Grease filter signalling

The grease filter is signalled by the display with number 1 flashing after 80 hours of use.

This means that the grease filter needs to be washed.

The signalling is visible with the hood in ON state.

To eliminate the grease filter signalling, press key "1" for more than 3" until it turns off.

The signalling can be eliminated with the hood in ON state.

Carbon filter signalling (only for filtering version)

The carbon filter is signalled by the display with number 2 flashing after 320 hours of use.

This means that the grease filter installed must be replaced.

The signalling is visible with the hood in ON state.

To eliminate the carbon filter signalling, press key "1" for more than 3 seconds, until it turns off.

The signalling can be eliminated with the hood in ON state.

In case both filters are signalled at the same time, numbers 1 and 2 flash on the display alternately.

The signalling can be reset by carrying out the above-described procedure twice.

First it resets the grease filter signalling, then the carbon filter signalling.

In the standard mode the carbon filter signalling is not active.

In case the filtering version hood is used, it is necessary to enable the carbon filter signalling.

Activation of carbon filter signalling:

Set the hood to OFF and keep keys "2" and "3" pressed contemporaneously for 3 seconds.

Numbers 1 and 2 flash alternately for 2 seconds.

Deactivation of carbon filter signalling:

Set the hood to OFF and keep keys "2" and "3" pressed contemporaneously for 3 seconds.

Number 1 flashes for 2 seconds.

Temperature Alarm

The hood is equipped with a temperature sensor which activates the motor at speed 3 in case the temperature in the display zone is too high.

The alarm condition is indicated by the display with the letter "t" flashing.

This condition remains as such until the temperature falls below the alarm threshold.

This mode can be quit by pressing key "2".

Every 30" the sensor checks the ambient temperature of the display zone.

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

Fig. 26-31

Traps cooking grease particles.

This must be cleaned once a month (or when the filter saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in possession – indicates this necessity) 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.

Charcoal filter (filter version only)

Fig. 28

It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.

The activated charcoal filter can be one of these types:

• Washable activated charcoal filter. • NON-washable activated charcoal filter.

Washable activated charcoal filter

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.

NON-washable activated charcoal filter

The saturation of the charcoal filter 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.

The charcoal filter may NOT be washed or regenerated.

Assembly

Hook the charcoal filter at the back on the metal tongue of the hood first, then on the front with the two knobs.

Disassembly

Remove the charcoal filter by turning the knobs fixing it to the hood by 90°.
