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.
• If the hob is electric, gas, or induction, the minimum distance
between the same and the lower part of the 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.
- 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.
• Warning: if the bulbs are not working, ensure that they are
screwed in fully.
• Installation:
Prior to proceeding with the assembly operations (according
to the model that you have purchased), to facilitate handling
of the device, remove the grille as indicated in figure 6.
• Fitting the front panel:
To make fixing the front panel in place easier, the cooker hood
flap may be removed in the following manner:
1- Pull the flap out until it reaches its opening limit (Fig.7A).
2- Push the opening limit tabs F downwards (Fig.7B) and
completely remove the flap from the guide rails.
3- After fixing the front panel to the flap (Fig.7C), replace
everything by performing the above instructions in reverse.
4- When replacing the grille, be sure to insert the buffer S into
the casing, as demonstrated in figure 7D.
• This device may be installed in two different ways:
1. Fixing the hood to the lower part of the wall cabinet
(Fig.2):
- Make 4 holes in the wall cabinet respecting the measurements
indicated in figures 2A-2C.
- Position the hood underneath the wall cabinet and fix it into
place using 4 screws (supplied) suitable for the type of cabinet.
2. Fixing the hood to the wall (Fig.2):
- Make 4 holes in the wall cabinet respecting the measurements
indicated in figures 2A-2B.
- Hang the hood on the wall, using the 2 holes H, align it in a
horizontal position and fix it definitively to the wall using the
two safety holes I (Fig.2B).
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 fixed.
• The hood is already prepared for the version with which it
was ordered. The versions may be:
- E xtraction (Fig.1B-4).
- Filter (Fig.1A-5-8).
- If the hood is an extractor model, the lever C must be posi-
tioned as indicated in figure 4.
- If the hood is a filter model, the lever C must be positioned
as indicated in figure 5.
• Extractor version:
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 D (Fig.1B). The flange D is supplied with the product
and should be fixed above the air outlet hole of the hood as
indicated in figure 4.
• Filtering version:
To transform an extractor hood version into a filter hood ver-
sion, contact your appliance dealer and ask for active charcoal
filters. The filters should be fitted to the extraction assembly in-
side the hood, by centring them and rotating them 90 degrees,
until they click into place (Fig.8). To carry out this procedure,
remove the grille D as demonstrated in figure 6. Close the air
outlet opening with the plug B, as indicated in figure 5.

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 main-
tenance; 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.
- In the event that acrylic anti-grease filters are used, hand-
wash every 2 months, using neutral non-abrasive liquid
detergents and replace them after every 6 washes.
- 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 regen-
erable 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.
• 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.
• Replacing the acrylic or metal panels:
To replace the acrylic or metal panels, first remove grille D by
pressing the two side buttons B, as shown in Fig.6. Remove
