Description of the Appliance • The cooker hood is designed to extract unpleasant odours from the kitchen, it will not extract steam. • The hood is supplied as an extractor unit and can also be used with a recirculation mode by fitting a charcoal filter.

• You will need an original charcoal filter for the recirculation mode. (See Special Accessories).

Coupling ring • In this mode fumes are extracted to the outside via a hose connected to the coupling ring. • In order to obtain the best performance the hose should have a diameter equal to the outlet hole.

• The air is filtered through a charcoal filter and returned to the kitchen. • You will need an original charcoal filter for the recirculation mode. (See Special Accessories).

Control Panel • Best results are obtained by using a low speed for normal conditions and a high speed when odours are more concentrated. Turn the hood on a few minutes before you start cooking. The hood should be left on after cooking for about 15 minutes or until all the odours have disappeared. The control switches are located on the unit’s front panel:

Motor switch / Speed 1

• the light switch switches the hood lamp on and off • the motor switch switches the motor off Speed 1: Speed 1 push-button • Speed 2: Speed 2 push-button • Speed 3: Speed 3 push-button

Maintenance and Care • Warning! 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.

Metal grease filter • The purpose of the grease filters is to absorb grease particles which form during cooking and it must always be used, either in the external extraction or internal re-circulation function. Attention: the metal grease filters must be removed and washed, either by hand or in the dishwasher, every four weeks. Removing the metal grease filter

Hand washing Soak grease filters for about one hour in hot water with a grease-loosening cleaner, then rinse off thoroughly with hot water. Repeat the process if necessary. Refit the grease filters when they are dry. Dishwasher Place grease filters in the dishwasher. Select most powerful washing programme and highest temperature, at least 65°C. Repeat the process. Refit the grease filters when they are dry. • Attention! When washing the metal grease filter in the dishwasher a slight discolouration of the filter can occur, this does not have any impact on its performance. • Clean the inner housing using a hand hot solution only(never use caustic detergents, abrasive powders or brushes).

• Use the spring handle and remove the filter downward.

Charcoal filter • The charcoal filter should only be used if you want to use the hood in recirculation mode. • To do this you will need an original charcoal filter (available from your local Service Force Centre). • Cleaning/replacing the charcoal filter Unlike other charcoal filters, the LONGLIFE charcoal filter can be cleaned and reactivated. With normal use the filter should be cleaned every second month (when using the hood 2.5 hours per day,on avarage). The best way to clean the filter is in the dishwasher. Use normal detergent and choose the highest temperature (65º C). Wash the filter separately so that no food parts gets stuck on the filter and later causes bad odours. To reactivate the charcoal, the filter should be dried in an oven for 10 minutes with a maximum temperature of 100º C. After approximately three years of use, the charcoal filter should be replaced with a new one, as the odour reduction capacity will be reduced.

• Fitting Remove the grease filters. Remove the frame i which supports the filter h by turning 90° the two knobs g. Insert the charcoal filter inside the frame and put all parts back in their place. Refit the grease filters.

It is possible to use a traditional charcoal filter (Type 15), neither washable nor regenerable, to be replaced every 3 - 4 months. The filter holder frame of the charcoal filter is welded together; the eventual frame supplied with the hood is not, therefore, to be used. Insert it into its housing and fix it turning the 2 plastic knobs. • To remove proceed in the reverse order. • Always specify the hood model code number and serial number when ordering replacement filters. This information is shown on the rating plate located on the inside of the unit. • The charcoal filter can be ordered from your local Service Force Centre.

Warning • Failure to observe the instructions on cleaning the unit and changing the filters will cause a fire hazard. You are therefore strongly recommended to follow 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.

Changing the light bulb(s) • Disconnect the cooker hood from the mains supply. • Prior to touching the light bulbs ensure they are cooled down.

• Extract the lamp cover by using a small flat screwdriver or similar tool as a lever. • Replace the old bulb with a new one of the same type. • Refit the lamp cover. • If the light does not come on, make sure the bulb has been inserted in correctly before contacting your local Service Force Centre.

Cleaning the hood • Clean the outside of the hood using a damp cloth and a solution of water and mild washing up liquid. • Never use corrosive, abrasive or flammable cleaning products or products containing bleach. • Never insert pointed objects in the motor’s protective grid. • Only ever clean the switch panel and filter grill using a damp cloth and mild washing up liquid. • Clean all the plastic parts with a soft cloth soaked in warm water and neutral soap. • It is extremely important to clean the unit and change the filters at the recommended intervals. Failure to do so will cause grease deposits to build up that could constitute a fire hazard. 61

Electrical connection Safety warnings for the electrician 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. If it not fitted with a plug (direct mains connection) or if the plug is not located in an accessible area apply a bi-polar 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. IMPORTANT: Before re-connecting the hood circuit to the mains supply and checking the efficient function, always check that the mains cable is correctly assembled.

Before beginning installation • In addition check whether near the installation area of the hood (in the area accessible also with the hood mounted) an electric connection to the mains is available and if it is possible to connect a fumes discharge device to the outside (Extraction mode only). • Warning! Do not connect the appliance to the mains until the installation is fully complete. • Install the electronic box with 2 screws (a-b-c).

Installation • Remove the grease filters. • Drawing a line on the wall with a pencil up to the ceiling, corresponding to the centre line, will make the installation operations easier.

• Make holes as indicated on the template, insert the wall dowels and screw 2 screws into the upper holes, leaving a space of about 1 cm between the head of the screw and the wall..

• Apply the perforation diagram to the wall: the vertical centre line printed on the perforation diagram should correspond to the centre line drawn on the wall. In addition, the lower edge of the perforation diagram corresponds to the lower edge of the hood.

Note: Always make the holes indicated on the template. The upper 2 are for hooking the hood up while the lower holes (generally 2 lateral) are for the definitive and safety fixing. • Apply flues support bracket to the wall touching the ceiling. Use the flues support bracket as a perforation diagram (the small slot in the support must coincide with the line previously drawn on the wall, if present), and mark two holes with a pencil. Make the holes and insert 2 dowels.

• Fix the flues support bracket to the wall with 2 screws.

• Connect a tube (tube and bands for fixing not supplied, to be purchased) for discharging the fumes to the connection ring placed over the aspiration motor unit. The other end of the tube should be connected to a device for expelling fumes on the outside of the hood in the aspiration version.

• Hang the hood to the 2 upper screws. • Introduce and screw the screws (and washers) up into the holes for the definitive fixing (COMPULSORY!!). Then, having checked the setting of the hood, TIGHTEN ALL THE upper and lower SCREWS. If you want to use the filtering version, fix deflector to flues support bracket and connect the other end of the tube to the connection ring placed on deflector.

Note: the lower fixing points are visible removing the grease filters and they are at the sides of the hood

• Connect the electricity. • Slide the lower section of the flue down to cover the aspiration set until inserting it completely into the apposite housing over the hood. • Raise the upper flue and fix it above with 2 screws to flues support bracket
