• Do not connect the hood to exhaust ducts carrying combustion fumes (boilers, fireplaces, etc.)
• If the hood is used in conjunction with non-electrical appliances (e.g. gas burning appliances), a sufficient degree of ventilation must be guaranteed in the room in order to prevent the backflow of exhaust gas.
• The kitchen must have an opening directly with the open air to guarantee the entry of clean air.
• The minimum distance is 700 mm from the range hood to a gas hob and is 650 mm to an electric hob. If the installation instructions for gas hobs specify a greater distance, this must be considered.
• NOTICE: Two or more people are required to install or move this appliance. Failure to do so can cause physical injuries.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

• The range hood has been designed only for domestic use to eliminate kitchen fumes.
• Never use the hood for purposes other than what it has been designed for.
• Never leave high naked flames under the hood when it is in operation.
• Adjust the flame intensity to direct it onto the bottom of the pan only; making sure that it does not engulf the pan sides.
• Deep fat fryer must be continuously monitored during use: overheated oil can burst into flame.
• The hood should not be used by children or persons not instructed in its correct use.

DIRECTIONS FOR MAINTENANCE

• Proper maintenance of the range hood will assure proper performance of the unit.

INSTALLATION

Note 1: On stainless steel hoods, carefully remove the plastic protective film from all exterior surfaces of the hood prior to final installation.

Note 2: At least two people will be required to mount the hood.

DESCRIPTION / CONNECTIONS

The hood may be installed in the Ducting or the recalculation version.

DUCTING VERSION

The hood draws cooking fumes saturated with fumes and odour through the grease filters and expels it to the outside through an outlet pipe.

Caution: To reduce the risk of file, use of metal ductwork is preferred.

Do not use flammable material to convey exhaust air.

1. Decide where the ductwork will run between the hood and the outside.
2. A straight, short duct run will allow the hood to perform most efficiently.
3. Long duct runs, elbows, and transitions will reduce the performance of the hood. Use as few of them as possible. Larger ducting may be required for best performance with longer duct runs.
4. It is recommended that ∅150mm round duct is to be used, however a reducer from ∅ 150mm to ∅ 120mm can be ordered supplied should ∅ 120mm be required.
5. The air must not be discharged into a flue that is used for exhausting fume from appliance burning gas or other fuels. Regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be followed. Check with the local authority and building code for exhaust ducting requirements.
6. Install a roof/wall cap. Connect round ductwork to cap and work back towards hood location.

ROOF CAP WALL CAP HOOD 650 - 750 mm

RECIRCULATION MODE

The hood draws cooking fumes saturated with fumes and odor through the grease filters and charcoal filters and returns clean air into the room. For constant efficiency, the charcoal filters must be replaced periodically.

Decide from the outset on the type of installation(recirculation or ducting). For greater efficiency, we recommend you install the hood in the ducting version.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• Electrical wiring must be performed by a qualified technician, in compliance with applicable standards and regulations
• Disconnect the power supply at the main circuit breaker before any intervention.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, their after-sales service, or a similarly qualified professional to avoid any danger.
• Use only the original plug and extension cord supplied with the hood.

INSTALLATION OF THE APPLIANCE

Before beginning installations, to better handle the hood, we advise removing the face plate.

1. The range hood is designed to operate with ∅150mm exhaust ducting. If ∅120mm exhaust Ducting has to be used, the ∅ 120mm reducer is required.

120 150

RECIRCULATING & DUCTING VERSION INSTALLATION

Before fixing, the outlet exhaust duct for air evacuation to the outside must be installed. Use an outlet exhaust duct with:

- minimum indispensable length;

-Minimum possible bends(maximum angle of bend:90°);

-certified material (according to local, building and fire regulations); and as smooth as possible inside.

It is also advisable to avoid any drastic changes in duct cross-section(recommended diameter:150mm).

For recirculation version, please consider some outlets for clean air returns into the room.

- Make the electrical connection.

Fitting under wall unit

1. Before fixing the hood to the unit, drill a hole of 165mm diameter for ∅ 150mm exhaust duting or 135mm for ∅ 120mm exhaust Ducting in the wall unit.
2. In any case, check the position of the power outlet and consider wehre the power cable will run, since a hole might have to be made in the wall unit to accommodate it.
3. Unscrew the 2 visible screws located on hood of both inner size of filter frame, find the lamp wire terminal along the lamp wire and disconnect the lamp wire with lamp wire terminal, then remove the face plate. The 4 mounting holes around the unit are then accessible.

MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance of your range hood is essential to ensure proper operation, extend the lifespan of the appliance, and maintain good air quality in your kitchen.

Grease filters collect cooking particles and must be cleaned frequently to prevent motor clogging and reduced extraction efficiency. Charcoal filters, used in recirculation mode, must be replaced periodically to ensure effective odor absorption. Neglecting maintenance can result in increased energy consumption, excessive noise, and a higher risk of fire due to the accumulation of flammable grease.

Filter Type Frequency Maintenance Method
Grease filter (aluminum or stainless steel)	Every 3 to 4 weeks	- Remove the filters- Clean with hot water + dish soap or baking soda- Washable by hand or in a dishwasher (low temperature recommended)- Let dry completely before reinstalling
Activated charcoal filter (recirculation only)	Every 3 months (or more often depending on usage)	- Not washable (unless regenerable model)- Replace when saturated (reduced odor absorption, visible grease)

For grease filters, soaking them in hot water with white vinegar and baking soda is a very effective and natural cleaning method.

GREASE FILTERS

Simple line drawing of a rectangular frame with a downward arrow inside, no text or symbols present.

Grease filter are washable. And if necessary in the dishwasher. After several washes, their color may change. This discoloration does not interfere with their proper functioning and does not give rise to complaints.

Tip: A saturated filter reduces extraction efficiency and increases the risk of ignition of accumulated grease.

CHARCOAL FILTERS

This filter is not washable and cannot be regenerated. It should be replaced approximately every 3 months, or more frequently in the case of heavy usage.

Installing the charcoal filter:

• Place the charcoal filter in its housing and turn it until you hear a "click" to lock it in place.
• Then reinstall the front panel.

Tip: To ensure optimal odor filtration, do not exceed the recommended usage period.
