Use

The hood is intended for the extraction of cooking fumes and steam and is designed for domestic use only.

The hood can be used in either extraction or recirculation mode.

Extraction mode

In this mode, fumes are expelled outside the building through a special pipe connected to the ring on top of the hood.

CAUTION!

The exhaust pipe is not supplied and must be purchased separately.

The diameter of the exhaust pipe must match that of the connection ring.

CAUTION!

If the hood is supplied with an active charcoal filter, it must be removed.

Connect the hood to the wall outlet using a pipe with a diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connection flange).

Using pipes or wall outlets with smaller diameters will reduce suction performance and significantly increase noise.

The manufacturer declines any responsibility in this regard.

! Use a duct of the minimum necessary length. ! Use a duct with as few bends as possible (maximum bend angle: 90°).

! Avoid abrupt changes in the duct cross-section.

Filtration version

The aspirated air will be degreased and deodorised before being fed back into the room.

In order to use the hood in this version, you have to install a system of additional filtering based on activated charcoal.

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 45cm 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.

As described in the installation drawings perform 6 holes (8 mm diameter, 40 mm deep), in the positions shown in the drilling template, to fix the hood support bracket and the exhaust flue. After installation, check that the hood and exhaust flue are perfectly aligned.

The range hood is intended to be installed over a hob having 6 heating elements.

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.

Warning! If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid hazard.

Mounting

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.

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.
