Use And Maintenance - BS MERIDIANA Manual De Utilización

Fix the appliance to the wall and align it in horizontal position
to the wall units.
When the appliance has been adjusted, defi nitely fi x the hood
using the screws A2 (Fig. 3-6).
For the various installations use screws and screw anchors
suited to the type of wall (e.g. reinforced concrete, plaster-
board, etc.).
If the screws and screw anchors are provided with the product,
check that they are suitable for the type of wall on which the
hood is to be fi xed.
• Fixing the decorative telescopic fl ue
Take care not to scratch the duct; wear gloves when removing
the protective fi lm. (Fig. 4).
Arrange the electrical power supply within the dimensions
of the decorative fl ue.
If your appliance is to be installed in the ducting version or
in the version with external motor, prepare the air exhaust
opening.
Adjust the width of the support bracket of the upper fl ue
(Fig.5). Then fi x it to the ceiling using the screws A (Fig.5) in
such a way that it is in line with your hood and respecting the
distance from the ceiling indicated in Fig.3.
Connect the fl ange C to the air exhaust hole using a connec-
tion pipe (Fig.6).
Insert the upper fl ue into the lower fl ue. Fix the lower fl ue to
the hood using the screws B provided (Fig.6), extract the up-
per fl ue up to the bracket and fi x it with the screws B (Fig.5).
To transform the hood from a ducting version into a fi ltering
version, ask your dealer for the charcoal fi lters and follow the
installation instructions.
• Filtering version
Install the hood and the two flues as described in the
paragraph for installation of the hood in ducting version. To
assemble the fi ltering fl ue refer to the instructions contained
in the kit.
If the kit is not provided, order it from your dealer as acces-
sory.
The charcoal fi lters must be fi tted in the ducting unit located
inside the hood (Fig.8).

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 eff ective performance of the cooker hood depends on
constant maintenance; the anti-grease fi lter and the active
carbon fi lter both require special attention.
• The anti-grease fi lter is used to trap any grease particles
suspended in the air, therefore is subject to saturation (the
time it takes for the fi lter to become saturated depends on
the way in which the appliance is used).
- To prevent potential fi re hazards, the anti-grease fi lters should
be washed a minimum of every 2 months (it is possible to use
the dishwasher for this task).
- After a few washes, the colour of the fi lters may change. This
does not mean they have to be replaced.
If the replacement and washing instructions are not followed,
the anti-grease fi lters may present a fi re hazard.
• The active carbon fi lters are used to purify the air which is
released back into the room.
The fi lters are not washable or re-usable and must be replaced
at least once every four months.
The active carbon fi lter saturation level depends on the fre-
quency with which the appliance is used, the type of cooking
performed and the regularity with which the anti-grease
fi lters are cleaned.
• Clean the cooker hood frequently, both inside and outside,
using a cloth which has been dampened with denatured
alcohol or neutral, non-abrasive liquid detergents.
• The light on the cooker hood is designed for use during
cooking and not for general room illumination.
Extended use of the light reduces the average duration of
the bulb.
• Replacing halogen light bulbs (Fig. 9).
To replace the halogen light bulbs B, remove the glass pane
C using a lever action on the relevant cracks.
Replace the bulbs with new ones of the same type.
Caution: do not touch the light bulb with bare hands.
• Commands: (Fig.10) mechanical the key symbols are
explained below:
A = LIGHT
B = OFF
C = SPEED I
D = SPEED II
E = SPEED III
G = MOTOR WORKING indicator
Commands: (fi g.11) luminous the key symbols are explained
below:
A = LIGHT
B = OFF
C = SPEED I
D = SPEED II
E = SPEED III
F = AUTOMATIC STOP TIMER - 15 minutes
• If your appliance does not have the INTENSIVE speed
function, press key E for two seconds and it will be activated
for 10 minutes after which it will return to the previously
set speed.
When the function is active the LED fl ashes. To interrupt it
before the 10 minutes have expired press key E again.
• By pressing key F for two seconds (with the hood switched
off ) the "clean air" function is activated. This function switches
the appliance on for ten minutes every hour at the fi rst speed.
As soon as this function is activated the motor starts up at the
fi rst speed for ten minutes, During this time key F and key C
must fl ash at the same time.
After ten minutes the motor switches off and the LED of key
F remains switched on with a fi xed light until the motor starts
up again at the fi rst speed after fi fty minutes and keys F and
C start to fl ash again for ten minutes and so on.
By pressing any key for the exclusion of the hood light the
hood will return immediately to its normal functioning (e.g.
if key D is pressed the "clean air" function is deactivated and
the motor moves to the 2nd speed straight away. By pressing
key B the function is deactivated).
