treated as domestic waste, but should be delivered to a
suitable electric and electronic appliance recycling collection
point. Follow local guidelines when disposing of waste. For
more information on the treatment, re-use and recycling of
this product, please contact your local authority, domestic
waste collection service or the shop where the appliance was
purchased.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Assembly and electrical connections must be carried out
by specialised personnel.
• Wear protective gloves before proceeding with the
installation.
• Electric Connection:
- The appliance has been manufactured as a class II, therefore
no earth cable is necessary. The plug must be easily accessible
after the installation of the appliance. If the appliance
is equipped with power cord without plug, a suitably
dimensioned omnipolar switch with 3 mm minimum opening
between contacts must be fitted between the appliance and
the electricity supply in compliance with the load and current
regulations.
- The connection to the mains is carried out as follows:
BROWN = L line
BLUE = N neutral.
• The minimum distance between the support surfaces of
the cooking pots on the cooker top and the lowest part of
the cooker hood must be at least 65 cm. If a connection
tube composed of two parts is used, the upper part must be
placed outside the lower part. Do not connect the cooker
hood exhaust to the same conductor used to circulate hot air
or for evacuating fumes from other appliances generated by
other than an electrical source. Before proceeding with the
assembly operations, remove the anti-grease filter(s) (Fig.4)
so that the unit is easier to handle.
- In the case of assembly of the appliance in the suction version
prepare the hole for evacuation of the air.
• We recommend the use of an air exhaust tube which has the
same diameter as the air exhaust outlet hole. If a pipe with
a smaller diameter is used, the efficiency of the product may
be reduced and its operation may become noisier.
• If your appliance has been designed for use in habitations
supplied with acentralised suction device perform the
following operations:
- The switch controls opening and closure of a valve using
a thermoelectical device. By placing the switch in the ON
position, after a minute, the valve opens rotating 90° allowing
suction of the stale air. By placing the switch in the OFF
position, the valve closes after 100 seconds.
• Installation:
The following instruction should be followed to carry out the
correct installation of the cooker hood.
1. Mounting of the cooker hood on the lower side of the
cupboard.
2. Selection of the version (extraction Fig.3A or filtration
Fig.3B).
• Fixing the hood to the lower part of the wall cabinet:
This type of appliance must be fitted inside a cabinet or
inside another type of support structure. To fix it in place, use
4 screws which are suitable for the type of cabinet, making
holes in accordance with the diagram shown in (Fig.1). To fit
the appliance correctly, align the front panel of the cooker
hood with the cabinet door and adjust spacer L using screws P
(Fig.2), then ensure the appliance meets the cabinet at the rear.
• Extraction through an outside wall:
The appliance expels the fumes through an outside wall or
a duct. It is necessary to buy a telescopic pipe in accordance
with the standards in use (inflammable) and connect it to
flange H (Fig.3A).
• Recirculation:
To transform the cooker hood from the extraction version to
the re circulating one ask your supplier for an activated carbon
filter. The filter must be fitted to the extracting group cooker
hood in the centre of the fan grille by twisting it by 90 degrees
until it is gripped securely (Fig.5). For this operation remove the
anti-grease filter(s) G (Fig.4). The clean air is returned into the
room through a connecting tube passing inside the cupboard
and connected to the ring H (Fig.3B).

USE AND MAINTENANCE

• We recommend that the cooker hood is switched on before
any food is cooked. We also recommend that the appliance is
left running for 15 minutes after the food is cooked, in order
to thoroughly eliminate all contaminated air. The effective
performance of the cooker hood depends on constant
maintenance; the anti-grease filter and the active carbon filter
both require special attention.
• The anti-grease filter is responsible retaining the grease
particles suspended in the air, therefore it is subject to
clogging with variable frequency according to the use of the
appliance.
- To prevent the danger of possible fires, at least every 2
months one must wash the anti-grease filters by hand using
non-abrasive neutral liquid detergents or in the dishwasher
at low temperatures and on short cycles.
- After a few washes, colour alterations may occur. This does
not give the right to claim their replacement.
• The active carbon filters are used to purify the air that is
sent back into the room and its function is to mitigate the
unpleasant odours produced by cooking.
- The non-regenerable active carbon filters must be replaced
at least every 4 months. The saturation of the active charcoal
depends on the more or less prolonged use of the appliance,
on the type of kitchen and on the frequency with which anti-
grease filter is cleaned.
• Before remounting the anti-grease filters and the
regenerable active charcoal filters it is important that they
are completely dry.
• Clean the hood frequently, both internally and
externally, using a cloth dampened with denatured
alcohol or neutral liquid detergents that are non abrasive.
• The lighting .system is designed for use during cooking
and not for the prolonged general lighting of the room. The
prolonged use of the lighting system significantly decreases
the average duration of the bulbs.
• If the appliance is equipped with courtesy lights it is possible
to use them for general room lighting for a prolonged amount
of time.
• Attention: the non compliance with the hood cleaning
warnings and with the replacement and cleaning of the filters
entails risk of fires. One therefore recommends keeping to the
suggested instructions.
