must comply with current legislation.
• 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 com-
posed 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.16) 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.
• Hood assembly:
- Remove the structure from the packaging and remove
the 2 screws A to separate the upper part from the lower
part (Fig.2).
- Position hole template on the ceiling paying attention
that the arrow is positioned on the same side as the ap-
pliance controls (Fig.3). Make 4, Ø8 holes in the ceiling
and drive in 3 screws without completely tightening
them. Pay attention not to insert the screw into the hole
marked with an X on the hole template (the screws and
expansion plugs must be suitable for the type of wall).
- Take the upper part of the structure B (Fig.4) and insert
the 3 slots onto the 3 screws that are not completely
tightened. Rotate slightly to fit (Fig.4). Drive in the fourth
screw X and tighten the remaining 3 to allow definitive
blocking of the upper part of structure B.
- Take the lower part of the telescopic structure C and
insert it into the upper structure B (Fig.5). Adjust the
height by referring to the amounts indicated in (Fig.15)
and block it using the 8 screws G that are supplied (Fig.6).
• S uction version: fix the flexible pipe to the prepared
air evacuation hole (Fig.7).
• F iltering version: we have two different types of Kit,
one with extractable carbon filters (Fig.17) and the other
one with re-usable carbon filters (washable) (Fig.18).
- Fix the flexible pipe to the deflector M and fix screw I
as indicated in Fig.8, the active carbon filters must be
applied to the suction unit positioned inside the hood
(Fig.17).
- If your product is fitted with a connector flange, perform
the assembly steps indicated in fig. 9 before fixing the
cooker hood to the structure. Take connector flange F
and fit it to the upper part of the cooker hood suction
assembly using the 2 screws E (Fig.9).
- Take the upper chimney piece and fix it to the structure
using the 2 screws A (Fig.10). Join the lower chimney
piece with the upper one and fix it carefully using adhe-
sive tape L (Fig.11A).
- Unscrew the 2 screws O, max 3 mm (Fig.11A). Insert the
suction unit inside the structure paying attention that
the previously unscrewed screws O, hook into the slots
in the lower part as indicated in (Fig.11B). Drive in the 3
screws N (supplied) and tighten the 2 screws O (Fig.11B).
- Fix the air evacuation pipe H (not supplied) onto the
connection flange F (Fig.12).
- Remove adhesive tape L and rest the lower chimney
piece above the cooker hood (Fig.13).
- If the cooker hood is supplied with a lower chimney
piece that must be fixed to the hood body with screws,
remove the anti-grease filters from the hood by acting
on the relevant handles (Fig.16).
- If necessary, fix the lower duct to the hood from the
inside, using the screws P (Fig.14). Re-locate the filters
in their seat.
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 contami-
nated 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.
- Regenerable active charcoal filters must be washed
by hand, with non abrasive neutral detergents, or in the
dishwasher at a maximum temperature of 65°C (the
washing cycle must be complete without dishware). Re-
move excess water without damaging the filter, remove
the plastic parts, and let the mat dry in the oven for at
least 15 minutes approximately at a maximum tempera-
ture of 100°C. To keep the regenerable charcoal filter
functioning efficient this operation must be repeated
every 2 months. These must be replaced at least every
3 years or when the mat is damaged.
• 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.
