DESCRIPTION The hood is designed so it can be used in the exhaust ducting version or filtering version with internal recycling.

BEFORE INSTALLATION Before starting the installation: • Make sure the size of the hood and its duct are compatible with your cooker and ceiling height. • Remove the activated charcoal filter(s) (*) if provided (see also related paragraph). It (these) is (are) assembled only if you want to use the hood in the recycling version. • Check that inside the hood there is not (for shipping purposes) other materials provided with the equipment (eg screw (*), warantee certificates (*) etc. In this case, remove them and keep them. • Make sure the product is in perfect condition. If damaged, do not continue with the installation and contact your after‐sales service.

INSTALLATION Excessively heavy appliance; handling and installation of the hood should be made by two or more people. The hood features fixing plugs suitable for most types of walls/ceilings. However, it is necessary to contact a qualified technician to ensure that the material is appropriate to the type of wall/ceiling. The wall/ceiling must be strong enough to support the weight of the hood.

The minimum distance between the container support area on the cooking appliance and the lowest part of the range hood must not be less than 50cm in the case of electric cookers and 65cm in the case of gas or mixed cooker.

If the installation instructions for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be taken into account Warning ! Failure to follow the instructions in this Instruction Book may cause electrical hazards. If in doubt, consult an authorized service centre or an authorized technician.

Electrical connection The electrical connection of the hood to the electrical system must be performed by qualified and specialized technical staff. The voltage must correspond to the rating indicated on the nameplate located inside the hood. If there is a socket, connect the hood to a wall socket compliant with the standards in force and located in an area accessible after installation as well. If there is no socket (direct connection to the electrical circuit), or if it is not in an area accessible after installation too, apply a standard circuit breaker to ensure the complete disconnection of the hood from the mains under conditions of overvoltage category III, in accordance with installation instructions. Attention! Before reconnecting the hood circuit to the power supply and checking the efficient operation, always check that the power cable is correctly assembled. The hood is equipped with a special power cable; in the event of cable damage, you must order a new one to the Technical Support Service

USE Ducting version Fumes are vented to the outside through a exhaust duct attached to the connection flange which is located above the hood. Beware! The exhaust pipe is not supplied and must be purchased separately. The diameter of the exhaust pipe must be equal to that of the connection flange. If the hood is equipped with a charcoal filter, it must be removed. Connect the hood to the tubes and vent holes of the wall of a diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connection collar).

Use a pipe having strictly the required length. Pipe bends must be of minimum number (maximum bend angle: 90°). Avoid excessive variations in pipe section. Pipe material must be according to norms.

Recirculation/Filtering version In the case where the evacuation of fumes and vapours towards the outside is not possible, the hood can be used in recirculation mode. The suctioned air will be degreased and deodorized before being sent back into the room. To use the hood in this version, you must install an additional filtering system based on activated charcoal.

Operation The hood is fitted with a control panel with a suction speed control and a cooking hob lighting control.

a. Switch ON/OFF lights. b. Switch OFF/speed 1 c. Selection speed 2 d. Selection speed 3 Note : button b. corresponds to speed 1 but it also serves as an on‐off switch. Therefore, it must be pressed if you want to select speed 2 or 3.

Energy Saving Tips Turn on the hood to the minimum speed during cooking and let it run for a few minutes after cooking. Increase speed only in the presence of a large amount of fumes or vapour and use accelerated speed(s) only in extreme cases. Replace charcoal filter(s) when necessary in order to maintain an effective odour reduction. Clean grease filter(s) when necessary in order to maintain an effective filtering of grease. Use a piping system having the maximum diameter indicated in this manual in order to optimize performance and minimize noise.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Cleaning Beware! Before performing any cleaning or maintenance, disconnect the hood from the mains by unplugging it or turning off the main switch of the house. The inside and outside of the hood must be cleaned regularly (about once a month). For this, use a cloth moistened with neutral liquid detergent. Do not use products containing abrasives. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL! ATTENTION: There is risk of fire if you do not observe the instructions on cleaning the appliance and changing or cleaning the filter. Cleaning of the external surface • To protect the external surface of the hood from corrosion that can occur in the long run, be sure to clean it every two months with warm water and a mild detergent. • The motor and other parts must not come into contact with water. • Charcoal filters should not be exposed to heat.

Grease filter Fig. 9-14 The grease filter retains grease particles from cooking. The metal grease filter must be cleaned once a month with non aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher at low temperatures and short cycle. Washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher may cause its discolouration. However, the filter characteristics shall not be modified in any case. To remove the grease filter, pull the release spring handle.

Activated charcoal filter (recirculation/filtering version only) Fig. 13 It retains unpleasant cooking odours. The saturation of the activated charcoal can be seen after a fairly long job, depending on the frequency of use and the regularity of cleaning the grease filter. In any case, it is necessary to change the filter after a maximum of four months. IT CANNOT be cleaned or regenerated. Remove the grease filters. Apply a charcoal filter aside and hang it to the hood. Put back the grease filters.

Lamp Replacement The hood is fitted with a lighting system based on LED technology. The LEDs provide optimal lighting, lasting up to 10 times greater than traditional bulbs and allow savings of 90% in electricity. To access the bulbs, first unplug the appliance from the mains, then remove the cover. Warning! Before touching the lamps, make sure they are cold. To purchase the LED to be replaced, contact the customer after-sales service (technical assistance).
