The exhaust conveyor that protrudes from the upper part of the range hood must be connected to a duct that carries the fumes and steam outside. In this version, the charcoal filters, if fitted, should be removed; to do this, see the instructions in point F. There must be adequate ventilation of the room when the range hood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels, according to the standard.
Deviation for Germany:
When the range hood and appliances supplied with energy other than electricity are simultaneously in operation, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 4 Pa (4x10 E-5 bar).
RECIRCULATING RANGE
HOOD (with filter)
In this version, the air passes through charcoal filters for purification, and is then recirculated back into the kitchen.
Check that the charcoal filters are fitted to the motor, and if not, install them as described in the instructions in point H.
If the hood is of filtering type, remove the non-return valve fitted at the motor's outlet.
For maximum efficiency, the third speed should be used when there are strong odours or a lot of steam, the second speed in normal conditions, and the first speed for keeping the air clean with minimum energy consumption. The range hood should be switched on when starting to cook, and left on until the odours disappear.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Constant maintenance ensures the correct operation and efficiency of the appliance over time. Special attention should be paid to the metal grease-trapping filters and the charcoal filters. Frequent cleaning of the filters and their supports will ensure that fats and grease do not accumulate on the range hood, with the consequent risk of fire.
These trap the fat and grease particles suspended in the air, and therefore should be washed every month in hot water and detergent, without bending them. Wait until they are completely dry before repositioning them.
To remove and replace these filters, see the instructions in point H1. This operation should be performed at regular intervals.
2. CHARCOAL FILTERS
These trap the odours present in the stream of air that passes through them. The air is purified by passing a number of times through the filters and being recirculated into the kitchen. The charcoal filters cannot be cleaned, and should be replaced on average every 3-4 months (according to use). To replace the charcoal filters, see the instructions in point H2.
3. CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE
The outside of the range hood should be cleaned using a damp cloth and neutral liquid detergent or denatured alcohol.
In case of fingerprint-less finish (fasteel) clean only with water and neutral soap using a soft cloth, rinse and wipe dry thoroughly. Do not use products that contain abrasive substances, rough cloths or cloths specifically designed for cleaning steel. Using abrasive substances or rough cloths will inevitably damage the finish of steel. The steel surface will be irrevocably damaged if the instructions above are not complied with.
Keep these instructions together with the instructions for use of your hood. The manufacturer accepts no liability for any damage caused by non-compliance with the instructions above.
4. CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE
The electrical parts or parts of the motor assembly inside the range hood must not be cleaned using liquids or solvents.
Do not use abrasive products. All the above operations must be performed after having disconnected the appliance from the mains power supply.
The electrical system features an earth connection in compliance with international safety standards; furthermore, it is compliant with the European standard for electromagnetic compatibility.
Do not connect the appliance to flues (from boilers, fireplaces, etc.). Make sure the mains voltage corresponds to the values on the rating plate located inside the range hood. The minimum safety distance between the cooktop and the range hood must be at least 65 cm.
Never cook on "open" flames under the range hood.
Check deep-fryers during use: superheated oil may be flammable.
- Ensure there is adequate ventilation of the room when the rangehood is used at the same time as appliances burning gas or other fuels.
- Do not flambe under the rangehood.
