es en laid down by the competent authorities. In addition, the air must not be evacuated through a hole in the wall unless specifically intended for this purpose.

! Fit air intakes in the room to prevent the hood from creating a negative pressure in the room (which must not exceed 0.04 mbar); if the hood is used at the same time as non-electrical equipment (gas-, oil- and charcoal-fired stoves, etc.) the exhaust gas may be sucked in by the heat source.

INSTALLATION The hood may be in filtering or in ducting version (see A-B-C pag.2). Decide from the outset which type is to be installed. For better efficiency, we recommend installing the hood in the ducting version (if possible).

FILTERING VERSION (A) The hood purifies the air and recycles the clean air backb into the room. For this version, the following is required: a theft-proof cover, a reducer and charcoal filter. In the version with flue, the upper flue must have the air evacuation slots positioned in the upper part and the deflector must be used in place of the anti-theft cover. The upper flue air evacuation slots must be positioned at the top.

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

! WARNING: Wear gloves and goggles when carrying out installation and maintenance operations. ! WARNING: Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards. ! 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 45cm from gas or mixed cookers. If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to. ! 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. ! In case of doubt, consult an authorised service assistance centre or similar qualified person.

DUCTING VERSION (B) (C)

The hood purifies the air and evacuates it to the outside through an exhaust duct or hole (diameter 150 mm). Roof Venting (B) Wall Venting (C) AIR VENT (for ducting versions) ! Prepare the hole and the air vent duct (150 mm diameter - not provided with the product). ! Use a duct of the minimum indispensible length. ! Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow angle: 90°). ! Avoid drastic changes in the duct crosssection. ! Use a duct with an as smooth as possible inside. ! The duct must be made of certified material. ! Do not connect the hood to smoke exhaust ducts for the products of combustion (boilers, fireplaces, stoves, etc). ! For the air vents comply with the provisions

For installation instructions refer to figures at pag. 2/10

To activate the 15 minutes timer for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd suction speed press the corresponding button for at least 3 seconds. The button led flashes for all the duration of the timer. When timer expires the fan switches off.

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

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. Panel The panel for perimeter suction should always be left closed and should only be opened in case of maintenance interventions (eg cleaning or replacing filters). Clean the perimeter aspiration panel with the same frequency as the ant-fats filter, using a cloth and not too concentrated liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive substances. For easy maintenance of the hood, the perimeter suction panel can be completely removed.

Grease filter cleaning and maintenance warning light.

This function reminds you to clean and maintain the grease filter of your hood. _This function activates after 30 hours operation of your hood, and is confirmed by the flashing of the TIMER key when the hood is off. This function is temporarily deactivated when the hood is turned on and the TIMER key flashes again when the hood is off.

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.

_ Function reset, press the TIMER key for 3 seconds.

N.B. Warning deactivation shall be performed when the hood is off.

MAINTENANCE Caution! Before any cleaning or maintenance disconnect the hood from the mains by removing the plug or disconnecting the main switch of the dwelling.

Charcoal filter (filter version only)

It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking. 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 mounths (or when the filter saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in possession – indicates this necessity). The charcoal filter may NOT be washed or regenerated.

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 19

Replacing lamps The hood is equipped with a lighting system based on LED technology. The LEDs guarantee an optimum lighting, a duration up to 10 times as long as the traditional lamps and allow to save 90% electrical energy. For replacement, contact the technical service.

THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR EVENTUAL DAMAGES CAUSED BY BREAKING THE ABOVE WARNINGS.

THE WARRANTY IS NOT VALID IN THE CASE OF DAMAGE CAUSED BY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE ABOVE WARNINGS.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT Suggestions for a correct use in order to reduce the environmental impact

• Switch ON the hood at minimum speed when you start cooking and kept it running for few minutes after cooking is finished. • Increase the speed only in case of large amount of smoke and vapour. • Replace the charcoal filter(s) when necessary to maintain a good odour reduction efficiency. • Clean the grease filter(s) when necessary to maintain a good grease filter efficiency. • Use the maximum diameter of the ducting system indicated in this manual to optimize efficiency and minimize noise. Disposal of old electrical appliances The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed-out dustbin symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation regarding separated waste collection. Consumers should contact their local public service or their local dealer for more information on the correct disposal of exhausted household appliances.
