The voltage in the electrical power supply corresponds to that indicated on the factory plate.
Duct, which is located inside the hood;
- The electrical network complies with current standards and can withstand the load (see technical characteristics inside the hood); the plug and electrical cable must not come into contact with temperatures above 70°C; the electrical system is equipped with proper grounding in accordance with current standards; the plug used for connection must be accessible after installation of the hood.
In case:
The manufacturer bears no responsibility in case of improper installation.
Exhaust outlet
Kitchen hood with external exhaust (suction)
In this version, smoke is expelled through an exhaust duct to the outside.
For this purpose, the hood's exhaust outlet must be connected via a pipe to an external outlet.
The exhaust pipe must have:
- A diameter not less than the diameter of the hood's exhaust outlet. - A slope downwards (fall) for horizontal sections to prevent condensate from entering the motor. - The minimum number of necessary bends.
The minimum possible length to avoid vibrations and reduction of the suction capacity of the hood.
To prevent the return of outside air, it is recommended to install a non-return flap, installed when the flow rate is 800 m3/h or more.
Absence of air inlet:
When operating simultaneously in the room with the kitchen hood and other devices that operate on an energy source other than electricity, the negative pressure inside the room must not exceed 4 Pa (4 x 10-5 bar).
EXTRACTION WITH INTERNAL RECIRCULATION (AIR FILTER)
In version 308, the recirculated air passes through activated carbon filters and is then supplied back into the room.
Make sure that the activated carbon filters are installed on the extraction unit; otherwise, install them as
described in the installation instructions.
In this version, the valve must be installed. Remove it if it is installed on the air outlet pipe of the motor.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
This section is intended only for qualified personnel.
The extraction unit can be installed in various configurations.
The general installation steps are common to all types of installations; it is also necessary to follow the steps specifically indicated for each type of installation.
OPERATION
WHEN TO TURN ON THE EXTRACTION UNIT?
The extraction unit should be turned on at least 3 minutes before starting cooking to create an air flow to direct smoke and odors towards the suction surface. After cooking, the extraction unit should be left on until all vapors and odors are completely aspirated. Using the timer function, you can set an automatic shutdown of the extraction unit after 15 minutes of operation.
WHICH SPEED TO SELECT?
Speed I: keeps the air clean with low electricity consumption.
Speed II: normal working conditions.
Speed III: removal of persistent odors and large amounts of steam.
Speed IV: rapid removal of odors and steam.
When to change the filters?
Metal grease filters must be washed every 30 hours of operation. Filters with activated carbon should be replaced every 3-4 months depending on the intensity of use of the hood.

Do not use abrasive, acidic, or corrosive substances, nor cloths with rough surfaces.
Regular care and maintenance guarantee correct functioning and efficiency.
Special attention should be paid to the metal grease filters, as regular cleaning of the filters guarantees the absence of easily flammable grease deposits.
CLEANING OF EXTERNAL SURFACES
It is recommended to clean the external surface of the hood at least every 15 days to prevent damage from the action of oily or greasy substances. For cleaning the hood made of painted stainless steel, it is recommended to use "Magic Steel" cloths.
As an alternative, and for all other surfaces of the hood, a damp cloth moistened with neutral mild detergent or denatured alcohol can be used.
Finish cleaning with a thorough rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use the appliance with a lot of water near the control panel to avoid splashing on electronic parts.
Cleaning of glass panels should only be done using special non-corrosive liquid or creamy detergents with a soft cloth. The manufacturer is not responsible for non-compliance with these instructions.
Cleaning of glass
To remove the glass, see the installation instructions.
Cleaning of internal surfaces
It is forbidden to clean electrical components or parts of the motor inside the hood using liquids or solvents.
Cleaning of internal metal surfaces is described in the previous paragraph.
METAL GREASE FILTERS
It is recommended to wash the metal filters (at least once a month) by soaking them for about 1 hour in very hot water with a dishwashing detergent, trying not to bend the filters.
Do not use corrosive, acidic, or alkaline detergents.
Rinse thoroughly and dry until they are completely dry before reinstalling them.
It is allowed to wash the filters in a dishwasher, but this may cause darkening of the filter material. To reduce these effects, use washing programs with low temperature (maximum 55°C).
Instructions for replacing filters with activated carbon are in the installation instructions.
