USER MANUAL Level Invisible FALMEC

TECHNICAL SAFETY Before installing the hood, check the integ- rity and function of each part. Should anomalies be noted, do not proceed with installa- tion and contact the Dealer. Do NOT install the hood if an aesthetic (or cos- metic) defect has been detected. Put it back into its original package and contact the dealer. No claim can be made for aesthetic (or cosmetic) defects once it has been installed. During installation, always use personal protective equipment (e.g.: Safety shoes) and adopt prudent and proper conduct. The installation kit (screws and plugs) supplied with the hood is only to be used on masonry walls: in case of installation on walls of a different material, assess other installation options keeping in mind the type of wall surface and the weight of the hood (indicated on page 2). Keep in mind that installations with different types of fastening systems from those supplied, or which are not compliant, can cause electrical and mechanical seal danger. Do not install the hood outdoors and do not expose it to atmospheric elements (rain, wind, etc.). ELECTRICAL SAFETY The electrical system to which the hood is to be connected must be in accordance with local standards and supplied with earthed connection in compliance with safety regulations in the country of use. It must also comply with Eu- ropean standards regarding radio antistatic prop- erties. Before installing the hood, check that the electrical mains power supply corresponds with what is report- ed on the identification plate located inside the hood. The socket used to connect the installed equipment to the electrical power supply must be within reach: otherwise, install a mains switch to disconnect the hood when required. Any changes to the electrical system must be carried out by a qualified electrician. Do not try to solve the problem yourself in the event of equipment malfunction, but contact the Dealer or an authorised Servicing Department for repairs. When installing the hood, disconnect the equipment by removing the plug or switch- ing o the main switch.

FUMES DISCHARGE SAFETY

Do no connect the equipment to discharge pipes of fumes produced from combustion (for example boilers, replaces, etc.). Before installing the hood, ensure that all standards in force regarding discharge of air out of the room have been complied with. Deviation for Australia and New Zeland: Range hoods and other cooking fume extractors may adversely affect the safe operation of appliances burning gas or other fuels (including those in other rooms) due to back flow of combustion gases. These gases can potentially result in carbon monoxide poisoning. After installation of a range hood or other cooking fume extractor, the operation of flued gas appliances should be tested by a competent person to ensure that back flow of combustion gases does not occur. (AS/NZS 60335.2.31:2013/A4:2020). USER WARNINGS These warnings have been drawn up for your personal safety and those of others.

USE AND CLEANING WARNINGS

Before cleaning or carrying out mainte- nance operations, disconnect the equip- ment by removing the plug or switching o the main switch. Do not use the hood with wet hands or bare feet. Always check that all electrical parts (lights, extractor fan) are off when the equipment is not being used. The maximum overall weight of any objects placed or hung (if applicable) on the hood must not exceed

Always supervise the cooking process during the use of deep-fryers: Overheated oil can catch fire. Do not leave open, unattended flames under the hood. Do not prepare food over an open flame under the hood. Never use the hood without the metal anti-grease filters: in this case, grease and dirt will deposit in the equipment and compromise its operation. Accessible parts of the hood can be hot when used at the same time as the cooking appliances. Do not carry out any cleaning operations when parts of the hood are still hot. There can be a risk of fire if cleaning is not carried out according to the instructions and products indicated in this booklet. Disconnect the main switch when the equipment is not used for long periods of time. If other appliances that use gas or other fu- els are being used at the same time (boiler, stove, replaces, etc.), make sure the room where the fumes are discharged is well-ventilated, in compliance with the local regulations. INSTALLATION only intended for qualied personnel Before installing the hood, carefully read the chapter 'SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS'. Use hobs with maximum 12 kW thermal power. TECHNICAL FEATURES The technical specifications are exhibited on the labels located inside the hood. POSITIONING The minimum distance between the highest part of the cooking equip- ment and the lowest part of the hood is indicated in the installation in- structions. Should the instructions for the gas cooker specify a greater distance, this must be taken into consideration. Do not install the hood outdoors and do not expose it to outdoor environment (rain, wind, etc.). ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (only intended for qualied personnel) Disconnect the equipment from electrical mains power supply be- fore carrying out any operations on the hood. Ensure that the wires inside the hood are not disconnected or cut: in the event of damage, contact your nearest Servicing Department. Refer to qualied personnel for electrical connections. Connection must be carried out in compliance with the provisions of law in force. Before connecting the hood to the electrical mains power supply, check that:

• voltage supply corresponds with what is reported on the data plate located inside the hood;

• the electrical system is compliant and can withstand the load (see the techni- cal specifications located inside the hood);

• the power supply plug and cable do not come into contact with tempera- tures exceeding 70 °C;

• the power supply system is effectively and properly connected to earth in compliance with regulations in force;

• the socket used to connect the hood is within reach. In case of:

• devices fitted with cables without a plug: the type of plug to use is a ''stand- ardised'' one. The wires must be connected as follows: yellow-green for earth- ing, blue for neutral and brown for the phase. The plug must be connected to an adequate safety socket.

• fixed equipment not provided with a power supply cable and plug, or any other device that ensures disconnection from the electrical mains, with an opening gap of the contacts that enables total disconnection in overvoltage category III conditions. Said disconnection devices must be provided in the mains power supply in compliance with installation regulations. The yellow/green earth cable must not be cut off by the switch. The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for failure to comply with the safety regulations.20 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 fitting must be connected via a pipe, to an external output. The outlet pipe must have:

• a diameter not less than that of the hood fitting.

• a slight slope downwards (drop) in the horizontal sections to prevent conden- sation from flowing 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. 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 (4 x 10-5 bar).

HOOD WITH INTERNAL RECIRCULATION FILTERING

In this model, air passes through the carbon and zeolite filters (optional) to be purified and is then recycled into the environ- ment. Ensure that the zeolite filters 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 fitting of the motor. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS only intended for qualied personnel The hood can be installed in various congurations. The generic assembly steps apply to all installations; for each case, follow the specic steps provided for the required installation. OPERATION WHEN TO TURN ON THE HOOD? Switch on the hood at least one minute before starting to cook to direct fumes and vapours towards the suction surface. After cooking, leave the hood operating until complete extraction of all vapours and odours. By means of the Timer function, it is possible to set auto switch-off function which will allow the hood to turn off automatically after 15 minutes of operation. WHICH SPEED IS TO BE SELECTED? 1st speed: maintains the circulation of clean air with low electricity consumption. 2nd speed: normal conditions of use. 3rd speed: presence of strong odours and vapours. 4th speed: rapid disposal of odours and vapours. With a view to reducing environmental impact, it is suggested to always set the minimum speed suitable for the required suction level. WHEN SHOULD THE FILTERS BE WASHED OR REPLACED? The metal filters must be cleaned every 30 hours of operation. For further details see the “MAINTENANCE” chap. Press the button on the top panel. The hood comes out and the touch panel is activated.

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 filters and their supports ensures that no flammable 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 specific, 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 filters (at least once a month) leav- ing 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 filter material to darken: to reduce this, use washes at low temperatures (60°C max.) without detergent. To extract and insert the metal anti-grease filters see the assembly instructions. CARBON AND ZEOLITE FILTERS (OPTIONAL) For the service life and regeneration of filters, refer to the specific instructions supplied with their packaging. Wait until the filter cools before reassembling it. LIGHTING The range hood is equipped with high efficiency, low consumption LED lighting with extremely long duration under normal use conditions. In case of failure, contact the Dealer or an authorised Servicing Department for repairs.22
