All responsibility, for any eventual inconveniences, damages or fires caused by not complying with the instructions in this manual, is declined. The hood is conceived for the suction of cooking fumes and steam and is destined only for domestic use. Note: the elements marked with the symbol “(*)” are optional accessories supplied only with some models or elements to purchase, not supplied. Use 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 version. Ducting version 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. Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the connection ring (Ø 120 mm). IAttention! The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be purchased apart. 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). ! Use a duct of the minimum indispensible length. ! Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow angle: 90°). ! Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section. ! Use a duct as smooth as possible inside. ! The duct must be made of certified material. Attention! If the hood is supplied with carbon filter, then it must be removed. Filter version 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 outlet grid. Caution Keep this use manual with your apparatus. If the apparatus has to be sold or ceded to someone else, make sure that this manual is also sent. Read this manual carefully before installing or using your apparatus because it contains important information for your safety and for whoever installs or uses it.

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 recommendations. Grease filter Fig. 2-14 Traps cooking grease particles. The grease filter must be cleaned once a month 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) Fig. 3-13 It absorbs unpleasant odours caused by cooking. 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. The charcoal filter may NOT be washed or regenerated. Remove the grease filters. Apply one charcoal filter each side and hook in onto the hood. Refit the grease filter.
