How to install the hood?

Follow the drilling template provided. Attach the support bracket to the wall, hang the hood, then connect the exhaust duct. For detailed installation, refer to the manual. Important: disconnect the appliance before any operation.

What is the minimum distance between the hood and the cooktop?

The minimum distance is 50 cm for an electric cooktop and 65 cm for a gas or mixed cooktop. If the cooktop manufacturer specifies a greater distance, follow that.

How to clean the grease filters?

The metal grease filters should be cleaned once a month. You can wash them by hand with a mild detergent or in the dishwasher at low temperature and quick cycle. Dishwashing may discolor the filter without affecting its performance.

How to replace the charcoal filter?

The activated carbon filter is optional. It should be cleaned every 2 months in hot water or in the dishwasher at 65°C. After washing, dry the pad in the oven at 100°C for 10 minutes. Replace the pad every 3 years or if damaged.

How to change the hood bulb?

Disconnect the appliance. Wait for the lamps to cool down. Use a small flat-head screwdriver to unclip the cover. Replace with a halogen lamp 12V-20W max, type G4 (suitable for open lighting systems). Do not touch the lamp with bare hands. Close the cover by snapping it back.

What to do if the hood does not work?

First check the electrical connection and that the socket is powered. Make sure the filters are in place and the hood is not in standby mode. If the lighting does not work, check that the lamps are properly inserted. Contact customer service if the problem persists.

Can I use the hood without a charcoal filter?

Yes, if you use the hood in external exhaust mode. In that case, the charcoal filter must be removed. In recirculation mode, the charcoal filter is essential. If the hood is delivered without one, order it before use.

How to switch from exhaust mode to recirculation mode?

For recirculation mode, install an activated carbon filter and a deflector (F) on the flange (G). Connect an exhaust hose to the upper air outlet (B) and to the deflector connection ring. The hose and clamps must be purchased separately. Refer to the manual for diagrams.

How often should I clean the hood?

Clean the exterior and interior of the hood at least once a month. The grease filters should be cleaned monthly, and the charcoal filter every two months (or according to the saturation indicator if your model has one).

What to do in case of lighting failure?

Disconnect the appliance. Check that the lamps are properly inserted. If one is burnt out, replace it with a halogen lamp 12V-20W max, type G4. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

Use

The hood is designed to be used either for exhausting or filter version.

Ducting version

The hood is equipped with a top air outlet B for discharge of fumes to the outside (exhaust pipe and pipe fixing clamps not provided). Fig. 6

Attention! If the hood is supplied with carbon filter, then it must be removed.

Filter version

Should it not be possible to discharge cooking fumes and vapour to the outside, the hood can be used in the filter version, fitting an activated carbon filter and the deflector F on the support (bracket) G, fumes and vapours are recycled through the top grille H by means of an exhaust pipe connected to the top air outlet B and the connection ring mounted on the deflector F (exhaust pipe and pipe fixing clamps not provided). Fig. 6

Attention! If the hood is not supplied with carbon filter, then it must be ordered and mounted.

The models with no suction motor only operate in ducting mode, and must be connected to an external suction device (not supplied).

The connecting instructions are supplied with the peripheral suction unit.

Installation

The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking vessels on the hob and the lowest part of the range hood must be not less than 50cm from electric cookers and 65cm from gas or mixed cookers.

If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance, this must be adhered to.

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. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not located in an accessible area apply a double pole switch in accordance with standards which assures the complete disconnection of the mains under conditions relating to overcurrent 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.

Mounting

Before beginning installation:

• Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the chosen installation area.
• To facilitate installation, remove the fat filters and the other parts allowed and described here, dismantle and mount it.

To remove see also the relative paragraphs.

• Remove the active carbon (*) filter/s if supplied (see also relative paragraph). This/these is/are to be mounted only if you want to use the hood in the filtering version.
• Check (for transport reasons) that there is no other supplied material inside the hood (e.g. packets with screws (), guarantees (), etc.), eventually removing them and keeping them.
• If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to rear wall/ceiling. Otherwise put a thick, protective covering over countertop, cooktop or range to protect from damage and debris. Select a flat surface for assembling the unit. Cover that surface with a protective covering and place all canopy hood parts and hardware in it.
• Disconnect the hood during electrical connection, by turning the home mains switch off.
• In addition check whether near the installation area of the hood (in the area accessible also with the hood mounted) an electric socket is available and it is possible to connect a fumes discharge device to the outside (only suction version).
• Carry out all the masonry work necessary (e.g. installation of an electric socket and/or a hole for the passage of the discharge tube).

Attention! The chimney is predisposed for installation of the filter Version.

In certain models where it is required to use the cooker hood in the suction version then it is possible to overturn the upper section of the chimney

and insert it inside the lower section of the chimney so that the air-exit perforations are not visible.

The chimneys in which this operation is possible are recognizable by their bracket fixing points G which are repeated also in the lower side of the upper section of the chimney.

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.
