USE AND INSTALLING
INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Carefully read the following important
information regarding installation safety and
maintenance. Keep this information booklet
accessible for further consultations.
We suggest to have installation carried out
by qualified personnel, in compliance with all
the current regulations and in particular with
the ones concerning air exhaust and electrical
connection.The manufacturer cannot be
held liable for damages caused by improper
installation or if it has not been carried out
according to the state-of-the-art.
IMPORTANT
• The appliance must be installed at a minimum
height of 650 mm from an electric cooker stove,
or 750 mm from gas or combined cooker stoves.
• 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.
• Take care when the cooker hood is operating
simultaneously with an open fireplace or burner
that depend on the air in the environment and
are supplied by other than electrical energy,
as the cooker hood removes the air from the
environment which a burner or fireplace need for
combustion.
• Provide adequate ventilation in the environment
for a safe operation of the cooker hood.
• Follow the local laws applicable for external air
evacuation.
• Use screws and screw anchors suitable for wall
(e.g. reinforced cement, plasterboard) for the
mounting of the cooker hood. Where screws and
screw anchors are supplied ensure that they are
suitable for the type of wall where the cooker
hood is to be mounted.
USE AND MAINTENANCE
It is recommended to switch on the appliance
before cooking. It is also recommended to leave
the appliance in operation for 10 minutes after
cooking is terminated in order to completely
eliminate cooking vapours and odours.
The proper function of the cooker hood is
conditioned by the regularity of the maintenance
EN
operations, in particular, the active carbon filter.
Clean the fan and other surfaces of the cooker
hood regularly using a cloth moistened with
denatured alcohol or non abrasive liquid
detergent.
WARNING: unplug the appliance or switch
off the circuit breaker before carrying out
maintenance operations.
METAL ANTI-GREASE FILTERS
The metal anti-grease filters capture the grease
particles of the vapours that develop during
cooking, therefore they are subject to clogging
according to the frequency of the use of the
appliance.
In order to prevent fire hazard, it is
recommendable to clean the filter every 2 months
by carrying out the following instructions:
• Remove the filters from the cooker hood and
wash them in a solution of water and neutral
liquid detergent, leaving to soak.
• Rinse thoroughly with warm water and leave to
dry.
The filters may also be washed in a dishwasher.
The aluminium panels may alter in colour after
several washes. This is not cause for customer
complaint nor replacement of panels.
INSTALLING INSTRUCTIONS
This hood has been arranged to be installed
above a cooktop. It can be used in 3 ways:
• (Fig. A): the air is purified through the metal
grease filters and discharged to the outside
through a tube through the appropriate conduct
outside of the house. This installation provides
that the space between the false ceiling and
the ceiling is at least 660 mm, with the engine
installed to the structure in a vertical position
(Fig. A1).
• (Fig. B): the air is purified through the metal
grease filters and discharged to the outside
through a tube through the appropriate conduct
outside of the house. This installation provides
that the space between the false ceiling and the
ceiling is at least 330 mm, in this case, the engine
must be applied to the structure in a horizontal
position (Fig. B1).
• (Fig. C): the air is purified through the metal
grease filters and discharged to the outside
through a tube through the appropriate conduct
outside of the house. This installation requires
