Guidelines for the routine maintenance of the range hood

• Disconnect the electric power supply.
• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (e.g. gloves, safety footwear, etc.).
  • After the surfaces of the hood have COOLED DOWN;
• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (i.e., gloves, safety footwear, etc.).
• Failure to follow the instructions or the use of unsuitable cleaning devices may pose a risk of fire and/or damage to the hood or the surrounding objects, so the Manufacturer couldn't be held responsible.
• Regular daily cleaning and maintenance activities should not be performed by children.
• The maximum weight of any objects placed on top of the hood or attached to the same should not exceed 2 kg.
• Do not pull, push or hang on the equipment, neither use the hood as a support for heavy objects or cabinet and other appliances.

Product's operation

The hood extract fumes and steam generated during cooking from the environment, channelling them through metal filters that must be regularly removed and washed. And then, depending on the type of installation, fumes and steam:

are driven outside from the building through a drain pipe: this model does not require the use of carbon filters (ducting or external drain cooker hood - Fig. 1);

are funneled through one or more carbon filters (usually one or two) to be purified: the clean air is then blown into the room thanks to the grid holes placed on the top of the hood's chimney (filtering or internal recirculation cooker hood - Fig. 2).

Operating instructions

The hood must be switched on at least a couple of minutes before starting to cook, to promote the suction of fumes and steam. After finishing cooking, leave the hood in operation for an extra few minutes: in this case, it may be appropriate to activate the "Timer" function, which automatically switches the hood off after 10 minutes (see 'Control panel' page 9).

The page that follows shows how to use the control panel.

What speed should I use?

The unit operates at three different speeds:

speed 1: purifies the air whilst limiting electricity consumption;

speed 2: normal conditions of use (e.g. steam suction)

speed 3: for the elimination of particularly intense fumes and smells (e.g: when frying or grilling).

When should the filters be washed or replaced?

The hood has two types of filters:

- metal filters: these must be removed and washed at least once a month. For the cleaning procedure refer to chapter "CLEANING" on page 11.

- active carbon filter: this is only found in internal air recirculation models (Fig. 2), and must be removed and replaced approximately every 3-4 months, depending on use.

After the first 7 seconds, the programming of the hood will be finished and the coupling will be protected from external signals which are not coupled.

All ordinary maintenance operations must be carried out:

• after disconnecting the electric power supply;
• always wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (e.g.: gloves, etc...).

Failure to follow the instructions, or use of unsuitable products, may pose a risk of fire and/or damage to the equipment or other objects, for which the Manufacturer cannot be held responsible.

When cleaning any of the components or accessories, NEVER use:

• abrasive or powder detergents;
- aggressive or corrosive detergents (e.g. hydrochloric/muriatic or sulphuric acid).
- abrasive or sharp tools (e.g. abrasive sponges, scrapers, steel brushes, etc.);
- water sprays.

STAINLESS STEEL AND OTHER METAL SURFACES

The INSIDE and the OUTSIDE of the hood should be cleaned solely by using a damp cloth with little neutral soap. It is also possible to use a steel specific cleanser, paying attention to the instructions written on the canister or bottle.

To conclude the cleaning operation, rinse using a clean wet sponge or cloth and then use a rag to dry the surface (in case of satin steel, please rub according to the finish pattern).

CONTROL PANEL

Please follow the instructions stated above for metal surfaces.

Fig. 4

GREASE METAL FILTERS

These filters are usually made in aluminium or stainless steel, and their main purpose is to block the particles of oil and fat suspended in the cooking fumes. An excessive accumulation of grease inside the filters could cause unpleasant smells and decrease the suction power of the hood. Please note that accumulated fat is highly flammable: any fire could lead to severe damage to both users and the product.

For these reasons, the anti-grease filters should be washed at least once a month, immersing them into hot water and dish soap for at least one hour. Rinse with plenty of water and wait for the filters to be fully dry before putting them back in place. Please note that the maximum temperature is 70^ C/158°F: higher temperature can cause darkening in the metal (please note that this DOES NOT impair the operation of the filter).

For their removal see Fig. 5

ACTIVE CARBON FILTERS

These filters cannot be washed or regenerated, and should therefore be replaced every 3 to 4 months, depending on the hood usage. Damp environments, high temperature, soiled anti-grease filters and the use of an induction hob could result into an accelerated decay of the filters. Rounded filters can be removed by counter-clockwise twisting.

For the instructions on carbon and anti-grease filters removal, see Fig.6

Internal recirculation hoods have to be used only with active carbon filters installed.

When not using the equipment for extended periods of times:

• disconnect the equipment from the power supply.
• if possible, use a soft cloth to apply a thin layer of Vaseline oil to all stainless steel surfaces.

At first use:

• accurately clean the equipment;
• reconnect the power supply.

The hood should be placed at a minimum distance of 65 cm for the wall-mounted models and 75 cm for the island/roof models. It could be that Your specific hob requires the range hood to be placed at a greater distance: always refer to the manufacturer's instructions handbook for further information.

The installation site must:

- be well ventilated and not exposed to weather conditions;

- have a temperature between +16 e i +32 °C

(90°F) and an humidity below 60% (any variation from the aforementioned values could accelerate the usual decay time of the carbon filters decay or limit the overall performance of the hood);

-comply with all the applicable regulation from the User's country in terms of indoor air quality, electrical system security and work safety;

- be suitable for the preparation of food.

For correct installation, refer to the drawings on page 18 to 27.

The equipment must be installed in a way that ensures easy access to electric connections. Do not use any electric wire or other electric devices to extend the original power cord. Please inspect the existing wall sockets or power cords of your kitchen and place the hood accordingly;

The fastening kit (screws and plugs) supplied with the hood can only be used on masonry wall. For installation on other types of walls consider alternative fastening systems, taking into account the strength of the wall and the weight of the hood.

Do not place the equipment near flammable materials or flammable substance containers (e.g. partition walls, gas cylinders, etc.), to hire hazards.

All the installation operations, assembly, connection to the electric power supply and extraordinary maintenance must only be carried out by qualified personnel, authorised by the Distributor or Manufacturer, in accordance with the legal requirements of the country of installation and in compliance with equipment and workplace safety regulations.

The equipment must only be installed by responsible and experienced adults, without physical impairment and in perfect psychological and physical condition.

During installation, anyone and any objects not involved in the assembly operations must be kept away from the area.

Before starting the assembly operations, make sure that all the necessary tools are available and in good working order.

ELECTRIC CONNECTION

The electric connection can only be carried out by qualified personnel (electrician).

The cable and the internal hood cables must not be replaced or modified. Before connecting the equipment to the power mains:

• read the safety instructions provided at the beginning of this manual;
• make sure that the electric system installed complies with the local regulations of the country of installation;
• make sure that the electric system installed is suitable for the characteristics of the equipment being installed (see the details on the data plate).

Refer to chapter "How to read product label" on page 28 for further information on the data plate.

The equipment is supplied with the power supply cable already attached: connect a suitable plug for the load to the cable (the plug must comply with current standards).

Remember the following:

• yellow- green cable: earth;
• blue cable: neutral;
• brown cable: phase

Always install a circuit breaker for quick disconnection. The earth cable must be not interrupted by the circuit breaker.

If the power cord is faulty, it should be replaced with another one with identical features. To prevent all kinds of risks, such replacement must be carried out by the Manufacturer, its technical support service, or in any case by a similarly qualified individual. The Manufacturer is not liable for any damage resulting from the use of unauthorized or aftermarket spares. Before any interventions inside the hood, disconnect the electric power supply.

Avoid winding the cable on itself if too long. Make sure that the cable is not in contact with liquids, sharp or hot objects (temperatures exceeding

>70^ ), or corrosive substances.

FUME EXHAUST CONNECTION

DUCTING/SUCTION VERSION

This type of hood is equipped with a top air outlet for discharge of fumes outside the house, which has to be connected with the inlet of the building chimney, commonly through a hose (not provided).

Horizontal tube sections must be slightly tilted upwards, to help channelling of the air to the outside. Fume discharge tubes crossing particularly cold environments (e.g. attics) should be insulated, to prevent condensation caused by temperature differences.

Suction type hoods DO NOT require carbon filters, which, on the contrary, can limit their performance.

Any changes to the tube, sudden diameter reductions, and bends, may prevent the hood from reaching optimum suction capabilities, and may jeopardise the operation of the motor, relieving the Manufacturer from all responsibility.

Make sure that the flue is in perfect working order, and that a square (concrete) or round (metal) static wind break ventilation tower with useful output section not less than double the diameter of the flue (UNI 7129) is installed at the top of the flue itself.

Comply with all air discharge regulations.

The drain chimney of the building should be dedicated to the hood only, so under no circumstances it should be shared with other devices,

such as bathroom extractors, air-conditioning units, fireplaces, wood or gas stoves.

FILTERING/AIR RECYCLE VERSION

In order to prevent both the flow of unclean air in the room and any damage to the fan blower, once saturated, the carbon filters should be promptly replaced. Once the carbon filters are saturated, they should be replaced as soon as possible, to prevent both the flow of unclean air and damages to the blower fan.
