The premises where the appliance is installed must be

sufficiently ventilated, when the kitchen hood is used together

with other gas combustion devices or other fuels.

The ducting system for this appliance must not be connected

to any existing ventilation system which is being used for any

other purpose such as discharging exhaust fumes from

appliances burning gas or other fuels.

With regards to the technical and safety measures to be

adopted for fume discharging it is important to closely follow

the regulations provided by the local authorities.

The hood must be regularly cleaned on both the inside and

outside (AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH).

This must be completed in accordance with the maintenance

instructions provided in this manual). Failure to follow the

instructions provided in this user guide regarding the cleaning

of the hood and filters will lead to the risk of fires.

Do not use or leave the hood without the lamp correctly

mounted due to the possible risk of electric shocks.

We will not accept any responsibility for any faults, damage or

fires caused to the appliance as a result of the non-

observance of the instructions included in this manual.

The hood is conceived for the suction of cooking fumes and

steam and is destined only for domestic use.

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

In this case the fumes are conveyed outside of the building by

means of a special pipe connected with the connection ring

located on top of the hood.

Attention! The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be

Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the

In the horizontal runs the exhausting pipe must be slightly

slanted (about 10°) and directed upwards to vent the air easily

from the room to the outside.

Attention! If the hood is supplied with active charcoal filter,

then it must be removed.

Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a

diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connection flange).

Using the tubes and discharge holes on walls with smaller

dimensions will cause a diminution of the suction performance

and a drastic increase in noise.

Any responsibility in the matter is therefore declined.

! Use a duct of the minimum indispensible length.

! Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum

! Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.

! Use a duct as smooth as possible inside.

! The duct must be made of certified material.

One active charcoal filter is needed for this and can be

obtained from your usual retailer.

The filter removes the grease and smells from the extracted

air before sending it back into the room through the upper

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 45cm 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, after

installation. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection)

or if the plug is not located in an accessible area, after

installation, apply a double pole switch in accordance with

standards which assures the complete disconnection of the

mains under conditions relating to over-current 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.

The hood is provided with a special power cable ; if the cable

is damaged, request a new one from Technical Service.

Before beginning installation:

• Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for

the chosen installation area.

• Remove the charcoal (*) filter/s if supplied (see also

relative paragraph). This/these is/are to be mounted only

if you want lo 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 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

• 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).

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 this

appliance to the wall. Surface mounting only.15

In the case of the presence of panels and/or walls and/or

lateral wall units check that there is sufficient space to install

the hood and that access to the command panel is easy.

Only for some models

An aesthetic flue can be purchased as an optional accessory.

Check with the authorized dealer whether the model in your

possession envisages this possibility.

We advise installing the hood after having purchased the flue

to check with certainty the most suitable installation.

Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen

vapours. It is recommended that the cooker hood suction is

switched on for 5 minutes prior to cooking and to leave in

operation during cooking and for another 15 minutes

approximately after terminating cooking.

ATTENTION! Before performing any maintenance operation,

isolate the hood from the electrical supply by switching off at

the connector and removing the connector fuse.

Or if the appliance has been connected through a plug and

socket, then the plug must be removed from the socket.16

The cooker hood should be cleaned regularly (at least with the

same frequency with which you carry out maintenance of the

fat filters) internally and externally. Clean using the cloth

dampened with neutral liquid detergent. Do not use abrasive

products. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!

WARNING: Failure to carry out the basic cleaning

recommendations of the cooker hood and replacement of the

filters may cause fire risks.

Therefore, we recommend observing these instructions.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage to

the motor or any fire damage linked to inappropriate

maintenance or failure to observe the above safety

Maintenance of the panel

- Release the panel, pressing the bottom part of the two fixing

rails (INTERNAL SIDE);

- Slide the panel upwards (for a distance of approximately

- Pull the panel towards yourself

the panel should be cleaned with the same frequency as the

fat filters, using a cloth soaked in neutral liquid detergents.

Avoid the use of products containing abrasives. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!

Traps cooking grease particles.

This must be cleaned once a month (or when the filter

saturation indication system – if envisaged on the model in

possession – indicates this necessity) using non aggressive

detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which must

be set to a low temperature and a short cycle.

When washed in a dishwasher, the grease filter may discolour

slightly, but this does not affect its filtering capacity.

To remove the grease filter, pull the spring release handle.

Charcoal filter (filter version only)

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
