any faults, damage or fires caused to the appliance as a result of the nonobservance of the instructions included in this manual.

INSTALLATION The hood may be in filtering or in ducting version (see A-B 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) In order to transform your cooker hood from the exhaust version to the re-circulating version, ask your local retailer for active carbon filters and then carry out the following instructions. The filters must be applied to the suction kit located inside the cooker hood (fig. 4). The air is replaced in the environment via the eyelets impressed on the connector. the upper flue must have the air evacuation slots positioned in the upper part.

! 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 65 cm from electric cookers and 75 cm 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.

The hood purifies the air and evacuates it to the outside through an exhaust duct or hole (diameter

150 mm). Roof Venting (B) 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. 15

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.

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. 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.
