PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

FIRST TIME USE

AIR VENT (FOR THE SUCTION VERSIONS)

Connect the hood and discharge holes on the walls with a diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connection flange).

Using the tubes and discharge holes on walls with smaller dimensions will cause a diminution of the suction performance and a drastic increase in noise.

Any responsibility in the matter is therefore declined.

! Use a duct of the minimum indispensable length.

! Use a duct with as few elbows as possible (maximum elbow angle: 90°).

! Avoid drastic changes in the duct cross-section.

! The company declines any responsibility whenever these regulations are not respected.

FILTERING OR DUCTING?

! Your cooker hood is ready to be used in suction version.

To use the hood in filtering version the special ACCESSORY KIT must be installed.

Check if the ACCESSORY KIT is furnished or must be bought separately.

Note: If furnished, in certain cases, the additional activated carbon filtering system may be installed on the hood. Information about the conversion of the hood from suction version to filtering version is present in the Manual "Safety Instructions & Installation".

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.

Attention! The exhausting pipe is not supplied and must be purchased apart. Diameter of the exhausting pipe must be equal to that of the connection ring.

Attention! If the hood is supplied with active charcoal filter, then it must be removed.

FILTER VERSION

The aspirated air will be degreased and deodorised before being fed back into the room.

In order to use the hood in this version, you have to install a system of additional filtering based on activated charcoal.

CONTROL PANEL

The hood is fitted with a control panel with aspiration speed selection control and a light switch to control cooking area lights.

- Disconnect the appliance from the mains.

Important: do not use corrosive or abrasive detergents. If any such products unintentionally come into contact with the appliance, clean the appliance immediately with a damp cloth. Do not use alcohol.

- Clean the surfaces with a damp cloth. If it is very dirty, add a few drops of washing-up detergent to the water. Finish off with a dry cloth.

Important: do not use abrasive sponges or metallic scrapers or scourers. Over time, these can ruin the enamel surfaces.

- Use detergents specifically designed for cleaning the appliance and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Important: clean the filters at least once a month to remove oil and grease residue.

MAINTENANCE OF THE GREASE FILTERS

This 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.

Pull out the handle to remove the filter.

Once the filter has been washed and left to dry, proceed in reverse order to refit the filter.

This filter retains the unpleasant odours produced during cooking. Saturation of the carbon filter occurs after a relatively long use, however this depends on the type of cooking and how regularly the grease filter is cleaned. Regardless, it is necessary to replace the cartridge every 4 months. It CANNOT be washed or recycled.

Fitting or replacing the carbon filter

1. Disconnect the hood from the mains.
2. Remove the grease filters.
3. Fit 2 carchoal filters (one each side of the conveyour), snap into place.
4. Reinstall the grease filter in place. Proceed in reverse order to remove.
