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 The hood is equipped with a top air outlet B for discharge of fumes to the outside (exhaust pipe and pipe fixing clamps not provided). Filter version In the case of not being able to discharge the fumes and the steam of cooking outside, the hood in the filter version can be used mounting the F deflector on the flue and one or more carbon filters (on the basis of the model possessed). The fumes and steam are recycled into the kitchen through upper grill H. Description of the hood Fig. 1

Installation The minimum distance between the supporting surface for the cooking equipment on the hob and the lowest part of the range hood must be not less than 50cm from electric cookers and 65cm 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, after installation. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not located in an accessible area, after installation, 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 installation instructions. 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. Mounting Before beginning installation:

• Check that the product purchased is of a suitable size for the chosen installation area.

• Remove the charcoal (*) filter/s if supplied (see also relative paragraph). This/these is/are to be mounted only if you want lo use the hood in the filtering version.

• Check (for transport reasons) that there is no other supplied material inside the hood (e.g. packets with screws (*), guarantees (*), etc.), eventually removing them and keeping them.

• If possible, disconnect and move freestanding or slide-in range from cabinet opening to provide easier access to rear wall/ceiling. Otherwise put a thick, protective covering over countertop, cooktop or range to protect from damage and debris. Select a flat surface for assembling the unit. Cover that surface with a protective covering and place all canopy hood parts and hardware in it.

• In addition check whether near the installation area of the hood (in the area accessible also with the hood mounted) an electric socket is available and it is possible to connect a fumes discharge device to the outside (only suction version).

• Carry out all the masonry work necessary (e.g. installation of an electric socket and/or a hole for the passage of the discharge tube). 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. Fig. 3-4 Remove the grease filters. 1 With a pencil, make a line on the wall, up to the ceiling, corresponding to the centre line, it will make the installation operations easy. 2 Apply the drilling diagram to the wall: the vertical centre line printed on the drilling diagram shall correspond to the centre line drawn on the wall. Furthermore, the lower edge of the drilling diagram corresponds to the lower edge of the hood. 3 Make the holes indicated on the template, insert the wall plugs equipped with hooks and adjustment screws. 4 Apply the chimney stirrup to the wall next to the ceiling, use the stirrup as template (the small notch on the upper side must correspond to the centre line previously marked on the wall), mark 2 holes with a pencil. Make the holes and insert 2 plugs. 5 Fix the chimney support stirrup to the wall by 2 screws. 6 Hang the hood on the hooks and level it using the adjustment screws placed on the hooks themselves.46 7 Mark with a pencil the position for the 4 final fixing screws T and R. 8 Remove the hood and bore where marked (4 x Ø 8 mm). 9 Insert the wall plugs and 2 screws in the upper holes, screw in partially, the screws will stand as additional hooking points. 10 Hook back the hood on the wall. 11 Tighten the 2 upper screws definitively and screw in the 2 lower screws. 12 Connect a pipe (pipe and clips for fixing not supplied, to be purchased) for fume discharge to the connecting ring placed above the suction motor unit. The other end of the pipe must be connected to a fume ejecting device towards the outside in case the hood is used in suction version. 13 In case the hood is to be used in filter version, fix the deflector to the chimney support stirrup and connect the other end of the pipe to the connecting ring placed on the deflector. 14 Connect to the power supply. 15 Slide the lower section of the chimney up to complete covering of the suction group to insert it into the special housing above the hood. 16 Lift the upper chimney and fix it by 2 screws to the chimney support stirrup. Reinstall the grease filter. Operation The hood is fitted with a control panel with aspiration speed selection control and a light switch to control cooking area lights. Use the high suction speed in cases of concentrated kitchen vapours. It is recommended that the cooker hood suction is switched on for 5 minutes prior to cooking and to leave in operation during cooking and for another 15 minutes approximately after terminating cooking. Maintenance 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. Cleaning 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 ONLY the cloth dampened with neutral liquid detergent. DO NOT CLEAN WITH TOOLS OR INSTRUMENTS. 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 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 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. Fig. 1 Charcoal filter (filter version only) Fig. 2 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. Fit the charcoalfilters over the motor. Align the pins R on the cowl with the slots S, then turn the filter clockwise until it locks in place. Reverse the above procedure to remove the charcoal filters. Refit the grease filters.
