OPERATION
WHEN SHOULD THE HOOD BE SWITCHED ON AND OFF?
Switch on the hood at least one minute before starting to cook: this enhances the airflow
to convey fumes and vapours towards the suction surface. After cooking, leave the hood
operating until complete extraction of all vapours and odours. If required, for versions with
electronic push button control panel, by means of the Timer function, it is possible to set
hood auto switch-off after 15 minutes of operation.
WHICH SPEED IS TO BE SELECTED?
The first speed is a low consumption energy-saving way of keeping the air clean, the sec-
ond speed is used in normal conditions, and the third speed is used when there are strong
odours and vapours.
WHEN SHOULD THE FILTERS BE WASHED OR REPLACED?
The hood has metal filters (washable), which must be cleaned after approximately 30 hours
of use.
For further information, please read the chapter regarding ''Maintenance'' on page 31.
LIGHTING
The range hood is equipped with high efficiency, low con-
sumption LED spotlights with extremely long duration un-
der normal use conditions.
WARNINGS WHEN USING THE RADIO CONTROL
The Stella hood is, by default, equipped with a 4-channel radio control.
Place the hood away from sources of electromagnetic waves (e.g. microwave ovens), which
could interfere with the radio control and, consequently, with the hood electronics. The max-
imum operating distance is 5 metres; the distance may vary according to the presence of
electromagnetic interference from other devices.
Radio control operated at 433.92MHz.
RADIO CONTROL CODE CHANGE
MALFUNCTION DUE TO INTERFERENCE)
A default transmission code is factory installed and stored, which is required to transmit
controls from the radio control to the hood.
Should electromagnetic interference with other devices cause a radio control malfunction,
a new transmission code can be created by following the procedure indicated in points
2
and
.
1
CREATING A NEW TRANSMISSION CODE
Disconnect the hood from the electrical mains power supply by unplugging it or by
turning off the main switch.
To access the "code change" mode, simultaneously press the
(timer) keys on the radio control until the display starts flashing slowly (approximately
4/5 seconds).
If, within 5 seconds from when the display starts flashing the radio control
key is pressed, a random transmission code is created and saved: saving is confirmed by
three brief flashes of the display. The new code cancels and replaces the previous factory
default transmission code.
Reconnect the hood to the electric power supply, making sure that the lights and motor
are off.
2
ASSOCIATING THE RADIO CONTROL WITH THE HOOD
To save the new transmission code created in the hood, press the
push-button control panel of the hood for 2 seconds and, after the corresponding red LED
has lit up on the push-button control panel, press any key on the radio control within 10
seconds.
RESTORE THE DEFAULT CODE (FACTORY DEFAULT CODE)
Should it be necessary to restore the default transmission code, disconnect the hood
from electric power supply and simultaneously press the
keys on the radio control for more than 5 seconds. This restores the radio control default
transmission code factory setting: three brief flashes on the display are issued as a con-
firmation that it has been saved.
Proceed with associating the hood and radio control, as described in point
Connect the hood to the electric power supply.

Plus button
Press this key with the motor off (no symbol on the display) to switch the hood
on with speed 1.
If the motor is running, pressing this key increases the motor speed.
Speed 1, 2, 3, and 4 are displayed on the screen by their equivalent symbol
number
. The 4th speed or intensive setting is timed and after about 7
minutes the motor automatically switches to the 3rd speed.
Minus button
Press this key with the motor off (no symbol on the display) to switch the hood
motor on with speed 1 (minimum).
If the motor is running, pressing this key decreases the motor speed.
Speed 1, 2, 3, and 4 are displayed on the screen by their equivalent symbol
number
.
If the motor is running at speed 1, pressing the key switches the hood motor
off.
Timer
Pressing the key with the motor active at any speed switches the Timer func-
tion on and off: this function determines the auto switch-off of the hood
after 15 minutes of operation. Activation of this function is signalled by the
symbol
(Hourglass) on the display. With the Timer function active, the
hood can still be switched off by the user at any time by reducing the speed
with the
key until the motor switches off: the function will be auto-
matically disabled and the symbol
