The kitchen must have an opening directly with the open air in order to guarantee the entry of clean air. * The minimum distance is 750mm from the cooker hood to a gas hob, and 2

is 650mm to an electric hob. If the installation instructions for gas hobs specify a greater distance, this must be taken into account. NOTICE: Two or more people are required to install or move this appliance. Failure to do so can cause physical injuries. USE * The rangehood has been designed only for domestic use to eliminate kitchen fumes. * Never use the hood for purposes other than what it has been designed for. * Never leave high naked flames under the hood when it is in operation. * Adjust the flame intensity to direct it onto the bottom of the pan only; making sure that it does not engulf the pan sides. * Deep fat fryer must be continuously monitored during use: overheated oil can burst into flame. * The hood should not be used by children or person not instructed in its correct use. MAINTENANCE * Proper maintenance of the rangehood will assure proper performance of the unit. * Disconnect the hood from the main supply before carrying out any maintenance work. * Clean and/or replace aluminum grease filters and activated charcoal filters after specified period of time. * Clean the hood using a damp cloth and a neutral liquid detergent. * DISPOSAL: Do not dispose this product as unsorted municipal waste.

CHARACTERISTICS DIMENSIONS

INSTALLATION & USE Note 1 : On stainless steel hoods, carefully remove the plastic protective film from all exterior surfaces of the hood prior to final installation. Note 2: At least two people will be required to mount the hood. DESCRIPTION / CONNECTIONS The hood may be installed in the Ducting or the Recalculating version. Ducting version The hood draws cooking fumes saturated with fumes and odour through the grease filters and expels it to the outside through an outlet pipe. Caution: To reduce the risk of fire, use of metal ductwork is preferred. Do not use flammable material to convey exhaust air. 1. Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside. 2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to perform most efficiently. 3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will reduce the performance of the hood. Use as few of them as possible. Larger ducting may be required for best performance with longer duct runs. 4. It is recommended that φ150mm round duct is to be used, however a reducer from φ150mm to φ120mm can be ordered supplied should φ120mm be required. 5. The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels. Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be followed. Check with the local authority and building code for exhaust ducting requirements. 6. Install a roof/wall cap. Connect round ductwork to cap and work back towards hood location. 5

Recirculation version The hood draws cooking fumes saturated with fumes and odor through the grease filters and charcoal filters and returns clean air into the room. For constant efficiency, the charcoal filters must be replaced periodically. Decide from the outset on the type of installation (recirculation or ducting). For greater efficiency, we recommend you install the hood in the ducting version. Electrical Connection * Electrical wiring must be done by a qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards. Turn off electrical power at service entrance before wiring. * If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. * Do not use the plug and an extension cord other than the ones initially supplied with the hood. INSTALLATION Before beginning installation, to better handle the hood, we advise removing the face plate. 1. The range hood is designed to operated with φ150mm exhaust Ducting. If φ120mm exhaust Ducting has to be used, the φ120mm reducer is required.

RECIRCULATING & DUCTING VERSION INSTALLATION: Before fixing, the outlet exhaust duct for air evacuation to the outside must be installed. Use an outlet exhaust duct with: - minimum indispensable 6

length; -Minimum possible bends (maximum angle of bend: 90°); -certified material (according to local, building and fire regulations); and as smooth as possible inside. It is also advisable to avoid any drastic changes in duct cross-section (recommended diameter: 150mm). For recirculation version, please consider some outlets for clean air returns into the room. Fitting under wall unit 1. Before fixing the hood to the unit, drill a hole of 165mm diameter for φ150mm exhaust Ducting or 135mm for φ120mm exhaust Ducting in the wall unit. 2. In any case, check the position of the power outlet and consider where the power cable will run, since a hole might have to be made in the wall unit to accommodate it. 3. Unscrew the 2 visible screws located on hood of both inner size of filter frame and remove the face plate. The 6 mounting holes around the unit are then accessible. 2

4. Lift the range hood and fit through the opening of the cabinet. Secure unit by using 6 long mounting screws.

5. Fit the face plate on the hood by screwing 2 screws.

6. Rotate the spot LED lights clockwise into the lamp hole. 7. Make the electrical connection.

Installation is now complete. Notice: -Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliance burning gas or other fuels. -If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance than 750mm, this has to be taken into account. -The regulations concerning the discharge of exhaust air have to be followed. Check with the local authority for building codes for exhaust ducting requirements 8

HOOD CLEANING Stainless steel is one of the easiest materials to keep clean. Occasional care will help preserve its fine appearance. Cleaning tips: * Hot water with soap or detergent is all that is usually needed. * Follow all cleaning by rinsing with clear water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth to avoid water marks. * For discolorations or deposits that persist, use a non-scratching household cleanser or stainless steel polishing powder with a little water and a soft cloth. * For stubborn cases use a plastic scouring pad or soft bristle brush together with cleanser and water. Rub lightly in direction of polishing lines or “ grain” of the stainless finish. Avoid using too much pressure that may damage the surface. * Do not allow deposits to remain for long periods of time. * Do not use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes. Small bits of steel may adhere to the surface causing rust. * Do not allow salt solutions, disinfectants, bleaches, or cleaning compounds to remain in contact with stainless steel for extended periods. Many of these compounds contain chemicals that may be harmful. Rinse with water after exposure and wipe dry with a clean cloth. * Painted surfaces should be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent only.
