FUMES DISCHARGE EXTERNAL EXHAUST HOOD SUCTION

In this version the fumes and vapours are discharged outside

through the exhaust pipe.

To this end, the hood outlet tting must be connected via a

pipe, to an external output.

The outlet pipe must have:

• a diameter not less than that of the hood tting.

• a slight slope downwards (drop) in the horizontal sections to prevent conden-

sation from owing back into the motor.

• the minimum required number of bends.

• the minimum required length to avoid vibrations and reduce the suction per-

formance of the hood.

You are required to insulate the pipes if it passes through cold environments.

In the presence of motors with 800m

/h or higher, a check valve is present to

prevent external air owing back.

Deviation for Germany:

when the kitchen hood is used at the same time as appliances that are powered by

energy other than electricity, the negative pressure in the room must not exceed 4 Pa

HOOD WITH INTERNAL RECIRCULATION FILTERING

In this model, the air passes through the charcoal lters to be

puried and recycled in the environment.

Ensure that the active carbon lters are assembled into the hood,

if not, install them as indicated in the assembly instructions.

In this version the check valve must not be assembled: remove it if it is

on the air outlet tting of the motor.

ENGLISH If the pushbutton panel is completely inactive, before contacting the Technical assistance service, disconnect power temporarily to the appliance (about 5“), possibly by acting on the main switch, to restore normal operation.If this measure has no eect, contact the Technical assistance service. MAINTENANCE Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance operations, discon-nect the equipment by removing the plug or switching o the main switch.Do not use detergents containing abrasive, acidic or corrosive substances or abrasive cloths.Regular maintenance guarantees proper operation and performance over time. Special attention is to be paid to the metal anti-grease lters : frequent clean- ing of the lters and their supports ensures that no ammable grease is accu-mulated. CLEANING OF EXTERNAL SURFACES You are advised to clean the external surfaces of the hood at least once every 15 days to prevent oily substances and grease from sticking to them. To clean the brushed stainless steel hood, the Manufacturer recommends using "Magic Steel" wipes. Alternatively and for all the other types of surfaces, it can be cleaned using a damp cloth, slightly moistened with mild, liquid detergent or denatured alcohol.Complete cleaning by rinsing well and drying with soft cloths. Do not use too much moisture or water around the push button control panel and lighting devices in order to prevent humidity from reaching electronic parts.The glass panels can only be cleaned with specic, non-corrosive or non-abra-sive detergents using a soft cloth.The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for failure to comply with these in-structions. CLEANING OF INTERNAL SURFACES Do not clean electrical parts, or parts related to the motor inside the hood, with liquids or solvents.For the internal metal parts, see the previous paragraph.

METAL ANTI-GREASE FILTERS It is advised to frequently wash the metal lters (at least once a month) leaving them to soak in boiling water and cleaning solution for 1 hour, taking care not to bend them.Do not use corrosive, acid or alkaline detergents.Rinse them well and wait for them to be completely dry before reassembling them.Washing in a dishwasher is permitted, however, it may cause the lter material to darken: to reduce the possibility of this problem from happening, use low-tem-perature washes (55°C max.).To extract and insert the metal anti-grease lters see the assembly instructions. ACTIVE CARBON FILTERS These lters retain the odours in the air that passes through them. The puried air is recirculated into the environment.The active carbon lters must be replaced on average every 3-4 months under normal conditions of use.See assembly instructions to replace the active carbon lters. LIGHTING The range hood is equipped with high eciency, low consumption LED spotli-ghts with an extremely long life-span under normal use conditions.Should the LED spotlight need to be replaced, proceed as shown in the gure. 12V

GREASE DRIP TRAY It is recommended to empty out the drip tray every 15 days and to wash it with boiling hot water and dish detergent. Do not use corrosive, acid or alkaline de-tergents. Rinse it well and wait for it to be completely dry before reassembling it.To remove the grease drip tray, (see gure). 3
