Never use the hood without effectively mounted grating.!

The hood must NEVER be used as a support surface unless

specifically indicated.

The premises must be sufficiently ventilated, when the kitchen

hood is used together with other gas combustion devices or

The suctioned air must not be conveyed into a conduit used

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

The hood is equipped with a top air outlet B for discharge of

fumes to the outside (exhaust pipe and pipe fixing clamps not

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).

The models with no suction motor only operate in ducting

mode, and must be connected to an external suction device

The connecting instructions are supplied with the peripheral

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

75cm 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 over-

current category III, in accordance with installation13

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.

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.

Assembling the deflector (Fig. 6 - 3 parts – only for filter

The three parts should be fixed with 2 screws, the deflector

extension is adjustable and should correspond to the width of

the chimney flue support, to which it is then fixed.

During electrical connection ensure the power supply is

disconnected at the domestic main switch.

1. Adjust extension of the hood support structure, as the

final height of the hood depends on this, and remember

that with installation completed the hood must be at least

50 cm above the cook-top for electric cookers and 75 cm

for gas or mixed cookers.

2. a. Fix the two sections of the structure using 8 screws.

b. If the hood is provided with extensions longer than the

minimum, fit the reinforcement bracket S to the frame,

3. Place the ceiling hole diagram directly above the cook-

top (the center of the diagram must match the center of

the cook-top and the edges must be parallel to the sides

of the cook-top – the side of the diagram with the wording

FRONT corresponds to the control panel side). Prepare

the electrical connection.

4. Drill as shown (6 holes for 6 wall plugs – 4 plugs for

fixture), screw the outer screws leaving a space of about

1 cm. between the screw head and the ceiling.

5. Fit an exhaust pipe inside the truss and connect it to the

motor compartment connection ring (exhaust pipe and

fixing brackets are not supplied).

6. Hook the frame onto the 4 screws (see step 4).

CAUTION! The side of the truss with connection box

corresponds to the side of the control panel with hood

7. Tighten the 4 screws.

8. Insert and tighten another 2 screws in the remaining free

holes for secure fixing.

9. Carry out the electrical connection to the mains power

supply, only turn on the power supply upon completion of

10. Hook the hood onto the truss, ensuring it fits properly – to

hook the hood onto the truss partially tighten 4 screws

11. Secure the hood to the truss using two screws; this will

also help center the two sections.

12. Tighten the 4 screws securing the truss to the hood.

13. For extractor versions (13A), connect the other end of the

exhaust pipe to the flue.

For filter versions (13F), fit deflector F to the truss and

secure it to the bracket supplied using 4 screws, then

connect the exhaust pipe to the connection ring located

14. Fit the nuts with fixing hooks supplied inside the top and

bottom sections of the flues at the rectangular slots. A

total of 14 nuts must be fitted.

15. Join the two top sections of the flue to cover the truss so

that one of the slots on the sections is situated on the

same side of the control panel and the other on the

opposite side. Screw the two sections together with 8

screws (4 each side- see the plan diagram for joining the

16. Fix the top flue assembly to the truss, near the ceiling,

with two screws (one each side).

17. Carry out electrical connection of control panel and bulbs.

Warning! Make connections taking care to insert the

connectors in the right way.

18. Join the two bottom sections of the flue covering the truss

using 6 screws (3 each side, see the plan diagram for

joining the two sections).

19. Insert the bottom section of the flue in its seat so that it

completely covers the motor compartment and electrical

connection box, then ensure it from inside the hood using

20. Apply the 2 tabs (supplied) to cover the fixing points of

the bottom flue (CAUTION! THE BOTTOM FLUE TABS ARE THE NARROWER AND SHALLOWER ONES).

The wider and deeper tabs are those used for the top

flue, and must be cut to size.

For models shown in Fig. 1H: A double face adhesive

strip is supplied with the hood, cut it in 8 pieces and use it

21. Turn the mains power on again at the central electrical

panel and check for correct hood operation.

contacting the Technical Assistance Service.

Warning! Always press the fan off button A before

disconnecting the hood from the mains supply.

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.

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 oserving 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

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 B, pull the spring release handle.

Charcoal filter (filter version only)

It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking.

The charcoal filter can be washed once every two months (or

when the filter saturation indication system – if envisaged on

the model in possession – indicates this necessity) using hot

water and a suitable detergent, or in a dishwasher at 65°C (if

the dishwasher is used, select the full cycle function and leave
