Follow the instructions given below for easy installation:

4.1 - Fixing the canopy hood

4.2 - Electrical connection and working test

4.3 - Ducting or Recirculation fitting

4.4 - Fitting the telescopic chimney stack

4.1 - Fixing the wall brackets. Splashback.

1 - Drilling the wall:

a) Draw a vertical line on the wall at the point in which the hood is to be installed. This line must be at a distance d from the cooker top of: - without splashback (fig. 2a): d=972 mm min. - with splashback (optional) (fig. 2b): d=322+H mm, where H= height in mm of the visible part of the splashback. b) On the horizontal line, mark the centres of the two holes to be drilled, at a distance of 378 mm to the right and to the left of the centre of the hood (fig. 2a-b). c) Using a Ø␣ 8 mm drill bit, drill the holes marked, and insert the plugs provided. Screw the ring screws provided in the accessories all the way into he holes.

2 - Splashback (optional).

In this case, the height of the hood above the cooker is determined by the height of the splashback B and by any raised back on the worktops. The splashback must be fitted before fitting the hood canopy, and if it is to be fixed to the wall both at the top and bottom it must be fitted at the right height before fitting the base units, or at least before fitting the worktop. As this is a complicated operation, it should be carried out by the technician responsible for installing the kitchen, or by competent persons with knowledge of the final dimensions of units. To fix the top only, proceed as follows: a) Rest the splashback on the worktop as shown in (fig. 2a), bring it into contact with the wall and centre it on the base. b) Mark the centres of the two holes in the upper fold. c) Drill the wall using a Ø␣ 8 mm drill bit, and fix the splashback using the Ø 8 mm plugs and the screws provided. d) Any stabilisation of the bottom, if required, will be dealt with by the installer.

3 - Adjusting and fixing the hood (fig. 3).

The hood is supplied with two adjustable hooks at the back; a) Hook the hood to the rings. b) Remove the metal grease filters, in order to access the adjustable hooks from the inside of the hood. c) Adjust the hood vertically and horizontally by turning the screws V2. d) Lock the hood against the wall by turning the screws V1 in a clockwise direction.10

4.2 - Electrical connection and working test

1 - The safety measures 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 of paragraph 3 are to be strictly observed.

2 - Once the electrical connection has been completed, check that worktop illumination, motor and

speeds work properly.

4.3 - Ducting or Recirculation fitting.

1 - Ducting fitting:

a) The hood can be ducted to the outside using a rigid or flexible ducting pipe Ø 100 or 150 mm, the choice of which is left to the installer. When Ø 120 ducting pipe is to be used, it will be necessary to install the reduction flange A on the hood air outlet (fig. 4). b) Connect the air outlet to the outside using the rigid or flexible ducting pipe, which must be fastened using a suitable pipe connectors. The installer must provide suitable material for this operation. c) If the hood is provided with charcoal filters, these must be removed (see paragraph 3 3.2-b)

2 - Recirculation fitting:

a) Fix the plug T into the bottom chimney section I, using one of the screws provided in the accessories (fig. 5). The filtered air will be returned to the room through the grille on the chimney itself. b) Install the activated charcoal filters inside the hood canopy (see paragraph 3 3.2 part 2).

4.4 - Fitting the telescopic chimney stack.

1 - Fixing the chimney (fig. 6).

a) Position the tongues on the bottom section I so that they correspond with the fixing tongues on the hood canopy C, bearing in mind that the slide guide on the two chimney sections must face towards the wall. b) Fix the chimney to the hood canopy using the two screws provided in the accessories.

2 - Adjusting the telescopic chimney stack (fig. 7).

Unscrew the two screws at the rear of the chimney, adjust the top section S until it is in the position required and then lock the two screws to fix in place.

It is most important that all the warnings shown in paragr. 3 of the Installation instructions are strictly observed. Moreover pay special attention to the following warnings during the use and maintenance of the cooker hood.

1.1 - The grease filters and the charcoal filter should be cleaned or replaced as

recommended by the manufacturer or more frequently if the hood is used consistently (over 4 hours per day).

1.2 - When using a gas hob in conjunction with the cooker hood, never leave the burners

uncovered while the hood is in use; when removing the pans either turn the hob off or keep the flame to a minimum if it is only for a few minutes and under supervision.11

1.3 - Always ensure that the flame does not overflow from under the pans; this will save

energy and will avoid a dangerous concentration of heat.

1.4 - Do not use the appliance in any incorrect way: this hood has been designed only to

reduce the smells of cooking in the kitchen.

Control panel (fig. 8) The hood is equipped with the following controls: BUTTON L = Light ON/OFF BUTTON V1 = Engine ON/OFF in first speed, suitable for a continuous change of air, noiseless, to be used with little cooking steam. BUTTON V2 = Second speed, suitable in most conditions of use for its excellent ratio between quantity of treated air and noise level. BUTTON V3 = Third speed, suitable to cope with major cooking steam emissions even for long periods of time.

Regular maintenance and cleaning will ensure good performance and reliability, while extending the working life of the hood. Special attention should be paid to the grease filters and to the charcoal filters when the hood is used in the recirculation mode.

The filter must be washed with normal household detergent at least once every 2 months. Thanks to its compact shape and size it can also be washed in the dishwasher.

2 - Dismantling the filters:

Remove one filter at a time, pressing the handle towards the back of the hood (fig. 9). When replacing, ensure that the handle remains in a visible position. WARNING - The maintenance periods indicated should always be complied with, to prevent any risk of fire that might result from filters saturated with grease.

3.2 - Activated charcoal filter.

The activated charcoal filters will capture bad smells until they reach saturation. They cannot be washed or recycled, and must be replaced at least once every 4 months, or more frequently if subjected to particularly intense use.

Remove the metal grease filters or the ducting grille, remove the activated charcoal filters situated at the ends of the fans, turning them in the direction shown by the arrows A. Fit the new filters, turning them in the direction shown by the arrows B (fig. 10).
