USER MANUAL EPSILONE 400 ROBLIN

RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS The Instructions for Use apply to several versions of this appliance. Accordingly, you may find descriptions of individual features that do not apply to your specific appliance.

• The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damages resulting from

incorrect or improper installation.

• The minimum safety distance between the cooker top and the extractor hood is 650 mm (some models can be installed at a lower height, please refer to the paragraphs on working dimensions and installation). • Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate fixed to the inside of the hood. • For Class I appliances, check that the domestic power supply guarantees adequate earthing. Connect the extractor to the exhaust flue through a pipe of minimum diameter 120 mm. The route of the flue must be as short as possible. • Do not connect the extractor hood to exhaust ducts carrying combustion fumes (boilers, fireplaces, etc.). 2° • If the extractor is used in conjunction with non-electrical appliances (e.g. gas burning appliances), a sufficient degree of aeration must be guaranteed in the room in order to prevent the backflow of exhaust gas. The kitchen must have an opening communicating directly with the open air in order to guarantee the entry of clean air. When the cooker hood is used in conjunction with appliances supplied with energy other than electric, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 0,04 mbar to prevent fumes being drawn back into the room by the cooker hood. • The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels (not applicable to appliances that only discharge the air back into the room). • In the event of damage to the power cable, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or by the technical service department, in order to prevent any risks. EN

• If the instructions for installation for the gas hob specify a greater distance specified above, this has to be taken into account. Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be fulfilled.

• Use only screws and small parts in support of the hood. Warning: Failure to install the screws or fixing device in accordance with these instructions may result in electrical hazards. • Connect the hood to the mains through a two-pole switch having a contact gap of at least 3 mm.

• The extractor hood has been designed exclusively for domestic use to

eliminate kitchen smells.

Never use the hood for purposes other than for which it has been designed. 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 sides. Deep fat fryers must be continuously monitored during use: overheated oil can burst into flames. Do not flambè under the range hood; risk of fire. This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

Sequence of operations - Installation

Preparing for installation

Drilling the Ceiling/Shelf and Fixing the support plate Connections Fitting the Hood canopy Functional Check Disposal of Packaging

Opening the Plate and preparing for assembly

• Unfasten the screws joining the Plate to its Cover. • Take the Plate and position it the right way round, as shown in the figure. The pawl must face towards the installer.

Ceiling/Shelf drilling and Plate Fixing

CEILING/SHELF DRILLING • Use a plumb-line and mark the centre of the cooking hob on the Support Ceiling/Shelf • Rest the Plate against the Ceiling/Shelf, making sure it is the right way up, as shown in the figure. • Mark the centres of the holes in the plate. • Drill the following points: • Ceilings in solid concrete: As per concrete plugs used. • Ceilings in hollow bricks with 20 mm resistance thickness: Drill a hole ø 10 mm (insert Plugs 11 supplied immediately). • Ceilings with Wood Beams: As per Wood Screws used (not supplied). • Wooden shelf, with a resistant thickness of 15 mm: drill a hole ø 7 mm. • Feeding the electric supply cable: drill a hole ø 10 mm. • Air Outlet (Ducting Version): according to the diameter of the connection to the external ducting pipe. • Insert two screws, crossing them and leaving 4-5 mm from the ceiling: • for solid concrete, concrete plugs, not provided. • for hollow bricks with approx. 20 mm resistance thickness, screws 12a, provided. • for wooden beams, wood screws, not provided. • for wooden shelves, screws with washers and nuts, not provided.

• Lift up the Fixing plate and fit the slots onto the two screws previously inserted in the ceiling, and turn until they are at the centre of the adjustment slot. Warning: The plate must be facing in the direction shown in the figure • Tighten the two screws completely and screw in the other two provided; before locking the screws completely it is possible to make adjustments by turning the piece, making sure that the screws do not come out of the adjustment slot. • The unit must be securely fastened both due to the weight of the Hood and the stress caused by occasional sideways pressure on the Appliance when in position. Once the unit has been fixed, make sure that the plate is stable. • In all cases where the Ceiling is not sufficiently strong at the point of suspension, the Installation technician must strengthen it with suitable plates and counterplates, anchored to structurally sound elements.

• Check that the plate is level on the ceiling.

CONNECTING HOOD-PLATE CABLES N.B. Before proceeding with installation the Hood must be raised to a height of at least 650 mm above the cooker hob by means of a support or with the assistance of another person. Be careful not to exceed the maximum Hood extension indicated in the dimensional drawing.

This operation is essential, as the Hood Cables are to be connected to the Plate mounted on the ceiling, and this must be done without the weight of the Hood bearing down on the structure. The system used to fix the 4 Cables comprises 3 components: • Threaded pawl (a) already mounted on the ceiling Plate. • Cable locking screw (b), provided. • Safety knob (c), provided.

• Pass the 4 cables (connected to the

Hood Canopy) through the respective holes in the Plate Cover after dismantling as above, making sure that they face the same way as the plate connected to the ceiling.

Insert the Hood power cable into the hole provided in the Cover.

Warning: Do not break or remove the clamp fixing the power cable to the Hood

• Pay attention to the direction in which the Plate is fixed to the ceiling (the Plate limit pawl has a corresponding hole on the Plate cover and on the Hood canopy).

• Insert the safety knobs (c) into the respective cables, with the thread to the top.

• Insert the cable locking screws (b) into the respective cables.

• Pass the Cables into the slots on the threaded pawls (a) and tighten the cable locking screws (b) into the pawls themselves.

• When the operation has been completed, the result should be as shown in the figure for all 4 cables.

• At this point, all 4 cables are now connected to the Plate.

Tension the Cables by pushing them upwards, so that they slide inside the cable locking screw and out through the slot in the threaded pawl.

This is possible because the cable locking screw involves a system that allows the Cable to slide in one direction only, preventing it from sliding in the other direction. Make sure that the Cables are all the same length, to facilitate final levelling operations. The left front cable must not be slacker than the others.

• The hood canopy must be levelled. • The Hood is levelled by adjusting the safety pawls C.

• Rest a spirit level on the hood.

• Exerting an upwards pressure on the safety knobs

“unlocks” movement of the Cable. By inserting or extracting the cable from the cable locking screw it is possible to make adjustments to level the mobile hood canopy. • Once the hood has been set level, the safety knobs must be tightened.

• Make sure that all 4 of the support cables are taut. • Make sure that none of the 4 support cables have been damaged during installation. • Remember that the minimum distance between the Hood and the cooker hob must be 650mm and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum Hood extension

indicated in the dimensional drawing.

AIR OUTLET - DUCTING VERSION To install the hood in the ducting version, please refer to the instructions provided in the ducting kit specific to the hood.

AIR OUTLET – RECIRCULATION VERSION

• Open the lighting unit by pulling on the notch provided. • Remove the grease filter. • Make sure that the Activated charcoal odour filter has been fitted.

FIXING THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE

• Tighten the power supply cable and fix it to the Bracket on the ceiling mounted Plate, using the tongue already mounted and 2 screws. • Slot the rubber cable raceway already threaded onto the power cable into the slot to prevent future damage. • Connect the Hood to the Mains Power Supply, inserting a bipolar switch with a contact aperture of at least 3 mm. • Remove the Grease filters (see paragraph “Maintenance”) and make sure that the Power cable has been properly inserted into the Suction fan socket. • At this point it is possible to remove the clamp fastening the power cable to the Hood Canopy.

FITTING THE PLATE COVER

• Screw the Cover back onto the Plate using the screws removed previously.

FIXING THE GLASS ELEMENTS

• Hook the 4 Glass Elements to the Hood Canopy by inserting the fins into the slots provided. • Level the 4 glass elements manually by making small adjustments to the glass elements themselves.

• Fix the 4 Glass elements from above using the screws

12b and Washers 12d provided, making sure that they are kept level with one another.

• Finally fix the 4 Glass elements from below using the nuts 12c provided, making sure that they are kept level with one another.

Check that the Glass elements in the Hood are perfectly aligned and level. If it is not, adjustments can be made by loosening nuts 12c or screws 12b so that when the Glass elements are moved they align perfectly.
